Participants: Branch managers from Retail banking
The pain
In the West Auckland area, there had been a number of staff changes and a new area manager appointed. The team was a mix of some new people to the role and others who had been there for some time. The area manager wanted a program that would bring them all together, align their values to the organisation and increase the trust and communication. The area manager had experienced JOLT Challenge in a previous role and knew who to call to help achieve his goals.

What the client says
“With ten Bank Managers looking after 110 staff it was really important for me to bring some new and more established individuals together to form a stronger team culture. In a retail environment the Bank Manager role is very diverse and demanding. They needed tools to not only help them lead in their professional capacity but also to add value in their personal lives. Having more balanced and robust leaders was a key goal and I saw JOLT as a way to get them on this journey.
The weekly link ups provided an important time to share what they learned from each chapter of JOLT and how they could apply in everyday situations. Key to the learning was the activities and exercises and sharing which challenged a team that is still getting to know one another. I like the way the JOLT book gave the foundation understanding of how the brain and body works and responds and then questioned the participants to delve deeper into their own behaviour in a number of areas. The Journal provides time for self-reflection and building of ideas. Those who got the most from this 9-week course were disciplined around pre-work, weekly reading, exercises and post work.
I am pleased with the outcome for my team as I have seen them grow as individuals and I see the tools of JOLT come through in their current leadership styles. This was not your standard Leadership or business course, it was much more holistic and that is part of the reason we chose JOLT.”
— Chris Rickards, Area Manager, West Auckland, Retail Banking
