Maverick Mastery®

Dynamic Transitions Ltd enables companies to develop mastery in their leaders and the company’s strategic ability. Businesses want to be able to have a workforce that questions, challenges and refuses to accept a status quo which is damaging or disadvantageous to the company. It is only this acceptance of difference that can enable a company to grow and outsrtip their competitors.

Companies that are prepared to invest in developing their strategic ability are more likely to achieve their strategic objectives.

Do you run a Maverick Organisation? If so your company …

• operates in a fast moving, highly competitive market
• values difference and challenge
• haves the most talented employees in your industry
• values wilful independence
• is seen as ‘cutting edge’
• is admired by others

What you do is different …

We help organisations blend their knowledge and skills to out perform their competitors and be employers of choice. We support mastery by:

• providing innovative leadership training
• executive mentoring and coaching
• strategic consulting on talent management and leadership issues

Maverick Mastery^® is essential for organisations that are constantly evolving.

Realising creativity, harnessing talent

Troublesome Talent® can be an enigma for companies who are unsure whether they should be keeping their talent that is causing 80% of their problems but producing 20% of their profit. They are the type of people who are recognised as being a maverick – hugely talented but difficult to manage. They often complete targets and objectives with ease but cause enormous problems with colleagues and peers in the process. All the while being loved by the customer. Whilst the Maverick CEO may recognise himself in this description or others in his company like this, this recognition may hamper the company’s ability to harness this talent.

We often get involved when the business loses patience with their Troublesome Talent® and is faced with the dilemma – ‘Do I sack or do I develop?’ Sacking can be a very expensive option, not least due to the disruption to the business.

We enable the trouble to be taken out of the talent so that their maverick becomes less disruptive and more productive (Judith’s Managing Mavericks 4 minute video by clicking here).

CEOs want their employees to perform at their best. Dynamic Transitions Ltd enables Troublesome Talent^® to develop mastery in how they interact with others and how they remain employed in corporate companies. Troublesome Talent^® wants to be recognised for the talent that they have and to have the autonomy to do what they believe is right or necessary. The most ideal role for Troublesome Talent^® within corporate life is one of internal consultancy where they can flit from one completed project to another. With full autonomy of course!

Do you have Troublesome Talent^®? If so they …

• are often accused of being blunt and inconsiderate
• always looking for challenges and getting bored once you’ve achieved them
• feel that you are more talented than your peers
• have more influence and autonomy than your peers
• are often described as charming and charismatic
• are trusted by others

They wish that they could be left to do what’s right …

Troublesome Talent^® are often frustrated that their ideas and solutions are not taken seriously by the organisation, who prefer to spend time discussing how they have articulated themselves. They cannot understand why this would be a preoccupation rather than the innovative solution that they have suggested. Troublesome Talent^® get bored easily and can become destructive if ignored. They often suffer from Success Syndrome.

We support Troublesome Talent^® and the companies that have them by:

• providing leadership training and mentoring to their managers so that they can learn to harness their talent
• providing maverick mentoring to Troublesome Talent^® so that they can reduce the tension that they cause others
• supporting their learning on how to improve their interaction with others and their social intelligence

Maverick Mastery^® is essential for Troublesome Talent^® to realise their potential and bring their world into yours.

The maverick view – create your own surroundings

Mavericks are easily bored and need to be given constant challenges to ensure that they are as productive and engaged as they could be. They tend to come up with innovative solutions and their way of working didn’t fit established corporate norms.

The Maverick is unafraid to question authority, buck trends or do what is ‘expected’ and understands that they are a square peg in a round hole. They have realised that they are under utilised, bored in their roles and that they often act inappropriately in the circumstances that they find themselves in.

This leads to frustration, and the lack of challenge soon sees them looking elsewhere for stimulation.

The Maverick comes from all types of professions from professional partnerships like accountancy or law, corporate life or individuals running their own business.

Their wilful independence can be a blessing or a curse dependent on how they harness their abilities. See here.

Dynamic Transitions Ltd enables mavericks to develop mastery in how they interact with others and how they put their creativity in motion. Mavericks – the wilfully independent, are lateral thinkers and are talented individuals who are determined to succeed by influencing others.

Maverickism is a continuum between being a conformist to an extreme maverick that cannot be influenced. Neither of the continuum ends are ideal, causing poor performance and personality flaws, the ideal is a socialised maverick.

Judith Germain defines a socialised maverick as one that can be ‘brought into polite company!’ Seriously though, mavericks that are socialised understand why people behave the way that they do and have learnt to curb their natural tendencies to be blunt and hurtful towards others. Whilst these tendencies are often not planned or even noticed they need to be harnessed so that the maverick can achieve what they desire.

Recognition and success is the watch words for mavericks, socialised mavericks are well on the way to achieving these things in an acceptable way.

Are you a maverick? If so you …

• think laterally and move in unexpected ways
• believe in tough love and brutal honesty
• are blunt and impatient of others incompetence
• love ‘why’ questions and honest debate
• need to succeed and do things your own way
• refuse to compromise your own standards

You must succeed no matter what …

Mavericks already have a level of success, our role is to enable you to improve your level of success faster and more appropriately. We work with you to support you in interacting with others better and more consistently. By understanding yours and others behaviour you will become more influential therefore achieving what you want in the shortest time possible.

We will support you by:

• enabling you to interact better and raising your social intelligence
• to challenge yourselves and others appropriately and effectively
• showing you how to achieve the success you desire

Maverick Mastery® is essential for the maverick persona to enhance their creative mind.

We enhance the entrepreneurial mindset

A maverick business owner demonstrates wilful independence and how they do this determines how well they will succeed in their endeavours. This type of person left a secure corporate job because they were unhappy trying to successfully navigate their way in corporations that could no longer contain them. They are ambitious business owners with big goals, very focused on getting more clients and delivering their core skill (training, or consulting for example). It is imperative that they concentrate on their business rather than working in it all the time. This is the only way they can achieve the stretching goals that they have set themselves.

These types of business owners are creative, big picture individuals who are busy but not focused. They are also impulsive and are spending their time working in the business not on it.

Maverick Business Owners do not want lifestyle businesses, they want a sustainable business that grows to be bigger than they are. Having a truely entrepreneurial mindset is keen to achieve this, otherwise the inherent traits of impulsiveness, impatience and risk taking can have an adverse effect on the business. See here.
