Develop purpose-driven teams
Purpose-driven teams have the fierce resolve to perform better, faster.
Companies that practice conscious capitalism perform 10x better.
Harvard Business Review, 2014
Purpose-driven teams consistently out-perform teams driven only by economic metrics, because they are powered by something greater than numbers.
Oxford Leadership has almost 20 years’ experience in building high-performance teams. Teams that are driven not by the latest targets or quarterly figures, but by a strong shared sense of purpose.
A co-created, well-crafted team purpose or manifesto reflects what really matters to a team, to an organisation and to society as a whole. It explains how team members are making a difference. It gives a sense of meaning, focus and powers fierce resolve, from the inside out.
We help grow teams that can achieve or exceed organisational objectives in a complex and rapidly changing business environment. Teams that are inspired by their leaders, and who can thrive even in massively disrupted business conditions.
“Our core skill is developing teams and leaders to achieve consistently high-level performance – the ultimate competitive advantage.”
