Is your company working at the level you want? Do you have problems with productivity, communication, conflict, employee turnover? Are your teams functioning at the level you would like? Our experience shows that most companies have at least some of these issues and they are almost always the result of supervisors and managers who haven’t learned good leadership skills. But, there’s good news!

We can help.

The Daedalus Group will help you develop supervisors and managers who are more effective leaders leading more productive teams.

The Daedalus Group is totally focused on helping supervisors and managers become more effective leaders. We use a simplified and uncomplicated approach to developing leaders. Our efforts are concentrated in three areas that we’ve found have the greatest impact.

Leadership Development

The best leadership development program is tailored to your specific needs. That’s why we have a full arsenal of tools and programs that can be matched to your company’s unique situation.

We don’t take a “one size fits all” approach. To be effective, a leadership development program must take into account your company’s unique issues, the challenges your leaders face, and the specific result you are seeking.

The Daedalus Group uses proven tools to evaluate your company’s capabilities and constraints to concentrate your efforts for the best return.

Team Building

Teams are simply groups of people who come together to accomplish common goals.

Sounds simple enough, but teams are groups of people who are all different. Building and leading effective and smoothly operating teams can be challenging.

Effective teams provide the ultimate competitive advantage and while they are powerful, they are also quite rare. Improving teamwork does more than just help organizations become more effective. It also reduces the stress and dissatisfaction of the people in the organization.

Strategic Planning

Strategic planning is one of a leader’s most important responsibilities. Unfortunately, in today’s fast paced world, there are more and more voices saying strategic planning not only isn’t necessary, but is counter-productive.

That’s wrong!

Strategic planning is essential.

A good plan keeps everyone on track and provides the tools that are foundational to your team leader’s ability to create a motivational environment.

  • Digging for Dhub Dhubs – What Leaders Don’t Know May Not Hurt Them
    July 23, 2020
    A dhub dhub is an odd looking creature that can be found in parts of the Middle East. Full grown they are about 2 – 3 feet long and look like a prehistoric cross between an alligator and a lizard with the beak of a snapping turtle. They aren't particularly friendly, but aren't aggressive either. They burrow into the ground and are content to just be left alone. Apparently, unknown to me, several of the guys had found one of these dhub dhubs near the parking ramp and had adopted it. […]
  • Communication and ConflictCommunication and Conflict
    June 30, 2020
    Conflict comes in two forms: good and bad. Good conflict is disagreement and debate and a hard look at ideas and solutions. Good conflict results in even better ideas and solutions. Bad conflict is name calling, and personal attacks, and disengagement. Bad conflict results in team dysfunction. A common cause of bad conflict is communication. We each have our own expectations of how we want others to communicate with us. […]
  • Develop Street Smart sStreet Smarts
    June 18, 2020
    Really, the only way to get street smarts is to be on the street. It's great if you can hire someone who already has the knowledge and experience you need, but that's often unlikely. The fact is, people will grow into the job; if you let them. […]
  • Diversity and the Team Leader

    In leading your team, think of diversity not as race, ethnicity, gender, or any other category. For you, as a leader, diversity refers to just one concept – individuals. […]
