High performance culture workshop guides in the developing high performance culture, through identifying question “what drives a high performance culture?”
What is the premise of Bodhih’s workshop on high performance culture in an organization?
High performance cultures develop from an organization’s people approaching their work in a purposeful and results-oriented manner. Those responsible for ensuring that the organization is effectively designed will make sure that the business goals and performance measures are reflected in accountabilities at executive and managerial levels
The values and core behaviors that fashion how people will approach their work and apply their knowledge, skills and behaviors will be part of the overall management process and underpin people development.
High performance culture companies understand the high performance culture model.
In high performance culture the focus is on factors leading to high performance team culture, impact of leadership on High Performance Teams, becoming a transformation leader to transform vision into action.
At Bodhih, High Performance Culture workshops, the focus of learning is on understanding the leadership potential. Through games, videos, and facilitator led presentations, the class understand the nuances of right leadership behaviour, key challenges, and roles and responsibilities intrinsic to such environment. Learners are provided with clarity on how someone’s behaviour can impact their potential for better leadership.
What drives a high performance culture?
Bodhih’s program on High Performance Culture characteristics kicks off with understanding team dynamics. Participants through facilitator led presentation and group discussions, spend time to delayer how various communication channels works in a group, and how accountability and responsibilities sharing underlines the group’s binding culture. The facilitator brings real world example to illustrate how high performance culture characteristics involves relentlessly defining Key Responsibilities Areas (KRA’s) and measuring them with the outside reality. The reality checks are one feature of high performance teams.
Bodhih’s facilitators are seasoned professionals who create linkages between skills picked up in the workshops and then to apply them in participant’s current roles. This is done through specific illustrations and analogies and is true for the next session at the High Performance Culture program – Personal effectiveness and Decision making.
High performance culture means doing the right things at the right time for the right reasons in the right ways.
In this module of the High Performance Culture characteristics, through facilitator led presentations and group discussions, participants are familiarised with knowledge on the circle of life / Circle of control /Circle of Influence and Circle of no control. Through individual reflection, participants are made aware of creating private victory for self by operating from areas of control. This module is where collective mindsets are trained to identify proactive behaviour from reactive behaviour and its impact on creating high performing teams.
Bodhih’s workshop on High Performance Culture training moves to the next item on agenda – Decision making.
Class participants through a reflective activity, gain an overview of a structured methodology for decision making by gathering information and prioritizing and evaluating it. Bodhih’s facilitators handhold the class in answering questions – what the optimum measurements or decision is making, and how can teams persevere to find stronger solutions rather than the best possible choices available to them.
At Bodhih, High Performance Culture techniques is a popular session that is part of a larger Leadership skills training suite.
The session draws richly from latest research done on High Performance Culture Characteristics.
The heart of Bodhih’s High Performance Culture program lies in the powerful session that dissects the topic of getting your point across and Saying it right.
Led through case studies, and group discussions, class participants understand the criticality of non-stop communication, dangers of interpretation, and different strokes for different people. Bodhih’s facilitator through class exercises and real-world information, helps participants decode various communication styles and ways to reconcile any disagreements. This is the module where students practice voice modulation, para-verbal skills, and active listening exercises to ensure the complete information is transmitted and received.
High performance culture characteristics lays a stress on openness and transparency in actions.
Bodhih’s facilitator further use group activity and individual reflection, to surface the crucial nature of being assertive in High Performance Cultures. Learners are given an overview of assertiveness, importance of using assertiveness at work, assertive bill of rights, when and how to be assertive and finally assertiveness techniques.
Through rich illustrations and real-life simulations, Bodhih’s class participants thereafter appreciate how to negotiate when the time calls for it. High performance culture characteristics often need its participants to know different styles of negotiation, and specific techniques for higher success. Through case studies and exercises, the group practices these nuances.

Sample training plan: 2-day hands-on design
This two-day design treats culture as what a team does every week, not what the poster says. Managers bring their own team's key result areas, a recent missed target and one meeting they dread. They audit accountability, sort worries into what they control, rebuild a decision their team fumbled, practise saying the hard thing assertively and negotiate a resource trade-off. The capstone is a culture pitch to a panel of senior leaders, followed by a 60-day experiment in their own team.
Participants can diagnose their team's culture, rewrite accountabilities that bite and run a decision that ends in ownership.
