Business (PDF)
In an increasingly diverse and globalized economy, even small and medium-sized businesses are faced with a host of human and systems challenges including worker shortage, increasing competition for products and services and a rapidly changing technological landscape. One of the key questions is: how do we lead teams with integrity for optimum effectiveness in these times of rapid change and uncertainty? At Anima, we believe that leadership with integrity – the key to successful teams – occurs when how we feel and think is in line with what we say and do. We call this, Aligned Personal Functioning (APF), and it serves as the foundational philosophy of our training programme. This unique, cutting-edge approach develops self-awareness and empathy combined with skills training in assertiveness, diversity and conflict resolution. Together, the APF competencies help to form highly open and creative teams that are resilient, inclusive, and, ultimately, more productive.

”This Anima leadership programme was very different from what I'd come to expect from developmental-type courses…instead of Annahid providing answers, the program set a compelling context so I could understand societal and cultural influences and then gave me a framework to evaluate my own experience, emotions and values in order to become a more effective member of my community. In short, I felt that my experience was really driven from my own being, my own core…rather than being a cookie cutter course that sought to tell me how to be and do things differently.”

The teams identified various changes in work flow patterns which made their loan process more streamlined and customer-focused. In addition, the leaders were able to speak about issues that had previously been unclear. The leaders became: approachable, vulnerable, empathic and caring as to what their teams were experiencing. As a result, the team members felt heard, honored, supported and outperformed their forecast for the quarter.
