High-performing teams think, feel and act differently – the challenge is to create an environment

of perpetual personal and professional growth and, as time goes on, continually reinvent the

conditions that enable this. In response to this challenge, James Kerr has developed an evidence-

based methodology that creates the conditions needed in teams for extraordinary performance.

His process is inclusive, helping leaders and teams to co-create their own high-performance

environment through a menu of engaging, empowering and sometimes provocative interventions

that cut through to a deepened sense of belonging and commitment.

MASTERCLASS LEADER: James Kerr James Kerr is a writer, speaker and consultant focusing on developing team identity to deliver the

best performance. His bestselling book Legacy, 15 Lessons in Leadership, takes the All Blacks – the

world’s most successful rugby team – as a case study for what it takes to develop a world class

‘values-based, vision-led, purpose-driven’ cultural environment. James has worked with leaders

and elite teams in diverse organizations, from operational teams in the British Army and the US

Navy to front-line sales teams at Morgan Stanley, HSBC, Raffles, Savoy, Oxfam and the NHS.

What is covered: Understand what a high-performing team is really like beyond the cliché

and provide a pathway towards achieving that

Help the leadership group bring alive its ‘narrative’ – who are you and what

are you trying to achieve?

Identify priorities and set goals in the short, medium and long-term that

focus on fulfilment of whatever narrative you identify

Further develop the existing ground rules on how the group should operate,

setting expectations about behavior, accountability and delivery

Enable the team to have deeper, richer discussions about uncomfortable

topics dealing with challenges and conflict constructively

Develop a leadership team style in which strategic goals are clear to all,

and people are empowered to take tactical decisions

Who will benefit: Teams of various sizes and functions, facing new challenges, both of

internal and external nature

Team leaders and executives willing to deeply understand team dynamics

and bring their teams to the highest levels of performance, but also looking

for a way to keep this high performance sustainable

Newly formed integrated project teams with ambitious goals

Mature start-ups facing the challenges of growth

Value and Expected Outcomes: A ‘common cause’ that is understood and invested into by the wider team

A set of standards and expectations that is signed up to by all parties

An understanding and implementation of the everyday actions required to

deliver on the team’s ambitions

BUSINESS OF FORMULA 1: LEADERSHIP & HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAMWORKBy Mark Gallagher

Formula One teams compete in the world’s most complex, high speed technology sport, designing,

developing and racing their cars against a backdrop of compliance, immoveable deadlines and a

relentless quest for performance combined with operational excellence. For competitive teams

employing around 900 staff, the leadership challenge is significant and the performance of each

member of the team is critical.

With his exceptional experience gained from working on the management board of two Formula

1 teams, Mark Gallagher is uniquely qualified to steer any business in any field to achieve the

highest level of performance.

MASTERCLASS LEADER: Mark Gallagher Mark Gallagher has been an executive in Formula One and international motor sport since 1983,

helping teams toward race- and title-winning success at world level. He has worked with champion

drivers including Michael Schumacher, Mika Hakkinen, Jenson Button and David Coulthard, advised

some of the world’s top brands and become an expert on the inner workings of this fascinating

industry.

In 1990 Mark became part of the original management at Jordan Grand Prix, described as ‘the

most motivated team in F1’. He later became head of commercial affairs for Red Bull Racing, and

in 2005 he founded his own team which won the World Cup of Motorsport. Until 2012 he was head

of the world-famous Cosworth F1 engine business, supplying one third of the teams in Formula

One with critical technologies.

Entrepreneurship is not about personality, nor is it restricted to startups. It’s a set of habits that

anyone can learn – habits that are becoming increasingly important in large organizations. To keep

up with the pace of innovation, big companies need to act small. They need to behave much more

like entrepreneurs – more agile, curious, creative, resourceful and connected to customers; less

rigid and complacent.

That is what Sahar’s unique, energizing masterclass is about. It gives participants the inspiration,

tools and confidence to think and behave more like entrepreneurs.

MASTERCLASS LEADER: Sahar HashemiSahar Hashemi co-founded Coffee Republic, the UK’s first US style coffee bar chain, and built it

into one of the UK’s most recognised high street brands with a turnover of £30m. She is author

of 2 books including the bestselling ANYONE CAN DO IT. She was awarded an OBE in 2012

for services to business and charity. She co-chairs the governments Scale up Taskforce and is

involved in a new coffee concept, Change Please, a social enterprise that trains and hires homeless

people to become baristas.

What is covered: The masterclass focuses on 6 easy-to-adopt, practical habits that participants can use in

their work every day:

Step into customers’ shoes – innovation and disruption doesn’t start with ideas

– it starts with empathy – seeing and feeling your products through the eyes of your

customers

Get out of the Office – beware of busy-ness you won’t get empathy sitting in your

office – get out into the world of your customer – that’s where it all happens

Become Clueless – try to forget what you already know-ask the naïve questions.

Notching up No’s – the only way to avoid failure is to do nothing – remove the fear

by allowing failure – it’s the best way to learn. Call it trial and error

Bootstrapping – means extreme resourcefulness. You can’t make new ideas happen

down conventional paths- and perfection is enemy of innovation.

Take 100% of yourself to work – ideas come from individuals not processes and

systems- and have fun there is a direct correlation between how much you enjoy

your work and how well you do it.

Who will benefit: Teams of various sizes and functions, facing new challenges, both of

internal and external nature

Team leaders and executives willing to deeply understand team dynamics

and bring their teams to the highest levels of performance, but also looking

for a way to keep this high performance sustainable

Newly formed integrated project teams with ambitious goals

Mature start-ups facing the challenges of growth

Value and Expected Outcomes: An understanding of entrepreneurial mindset: what it is, why it’s important and how

to make space for it in a corporate environment

Learning and practice of 6 tangible habits they can take away and immediately apply
