Budgets are shrinking; expectations are growing. Public sector managers must, yet again, achieve more with less.

Good thing there’s low-hanging fruit!

At over 70% of the average government workforce, it’s staff who deliver organisational strategy. Yet less than 5% have ever received strategic delivery training.

Your staff make thousands of micro-decisions every day. If those decisions aren’t strategic, how can you achieve your mission?

High impact teams are made up of staff who:
- Understand their mission
- Know how to manage themselves effectively
- Forge strong relationships with anyone and everyone
- Find their own way through tricky problems, and
- Deliver their work in a way that builds trust and respect

Upsides Training delivers engaging courses designed to help public sector teams achieve extraordinary things.

Build High Impact Teams training delivers actionable insights about mindset, values and methods that will rapidly increase your team’s capability and reduce your management effort, no matter what your technical area.

We tailor packages to suit your team’s needs. As a guide, expect to pay around $300 per person per day of training, based on a 25-person team. How many days does your team need? Book a call and let’s work it out.

You love your people. They’re great! Except for… that one.

Nobody starts out miserable. And yet, some staff are truly miserable at work. Worse, they make everyone else around them miserable too.

If you have someone in your team who’s in a miserable place, you know how hard it is to deal with; how much of your time is sucked into managing the fallout. A recent Upsides client spent over 70% of her time managing one miserable staff member!

At Upsides, we call this miserable place Decay.

After decades of studying public sector team dynamics, we know how Decay happens, how to head it off early, and what to do when it’s settled in.

Hot tip: it has nothing to do with performance management!

If you have Decay in your team, resolving it should be your highest priority.

Why? Because decay derails delivery.

Upsides has a world-first, psychology-led process for actually resolving Decay (without getting HR involved).

So if the thought of meeting with (or even making eye contact with) one of your team makes you feel queasy, then it’s time we have a chat.

Book a call, and let’s have a confidential discussion about how to reclaim your team’s heart and soul, as well as your calendar.

Sigh. Another year, another strategy. You can’t imagine how you’ll convince your people that you still give a toss.

Maybe you’ll let your team leaders do the heavy lifting this year, as a “development opportunity”…

Mate, it happens to the best of us. Being in management is no magic cure for losing your mojo.

But while staff can sometimes get away with coasting, managers can’t - too many people are depending on you.

Upsides recognises that teams can’t thrive without great managers whose hearts are in it.

Book a call, and let’s figure out how to get your head, and your heart, back in the game.
