The People Dimension

People Academy’s unique approach to communication enables individuals, teams and organisations to work more collaboratively and effectively.

Most people work with, and through, people. People are the common denominator, whether you're in the commercial world, or sport, education, public services or the military. So, whatever sector you're in, People Academy's unique approach to communication enables individuals, teams and organisations to work more collaboratively and effectively.

SELF AWARENESS

Know yourself first

The conscious adjustment of your own behaviours, impulses and reactions when they are unhelpful to the situation or person you are dealing with.

PEOPLE ACUITY

How to read others

The ability to consciously adjust your behaviour to improve your effectiveness in situations and relationships.

AGILITY

How to adapt to others

Deliberately bringing attention to you the other people’s perspective and feelings

SELF-MANAGEMENT

The coach in your head

Actively developing knowledge of your own behaviour, habits, feelings, beliefs, mindset, attitudes, motives, desires and values.

Characteristics of a
high performing team:

1

What good looks like
Everyone knows what’s expected of each other, is aligned and fulfills their part.

2

Work on things that make a difference
Everyone works on the things that make a difference.

3

Challenge and support
Everyone challenges mediocrity and supports each other.

4

Teamship
Everyone understands how to get the best out of each other and contributes positively to the team dynamic and culture.

5

Ownership
Individual and collective responsibility, accountability and commitment, for the performance of the team.

If you don’t have a distinct leader philosophy, then you haven’t decided what’s important to you. And if you don’t know what’s important, then you won’t be able to tell your team what’s important.

How we do things around here

For teams to be high performing, individuals need to be aligned to an agreed way of working and interacting together. Without clarity of 'How We Do Things Around Here', the team's norms of behaviour and communication will settle at a level that is not optimal, and certainly not high performing. Our approach helps teams and organisations achieve clarity of 'What Good Looks Like' and facilitates alignment.
