Is your company one resignation away from disaster?

In most SMEs, 1–2 “super employees” quietly carry 70% of the work. You know exactly who yours is. Let’s call her Lia.

The day Lia takes MC, the whole company slows down. The day she resigns, it’s a disaster.

Meanwhile, you’re the project manager, the quality checker, and the backup plan for every job in the company. It’s 9.40pm on a Tuesday, and you’re still on WhatsApp — chasing.

Does this sound like you?

You miss deadlines every project is a headache
You rely on 1–2 ‘super employees’ if they’re not here, things don’t get done
Communication is difficult no transparency and slow decisions
Nobody takes ownership when things go wrong

The problem isn’t your people.
It’s because you don’t have a good system.

Why does nothing move unless you push?

Not because your people are lazy or incapable. The same person who “can’t get anything done” at work can organise their own 300-guest wedding, or their own perfect vacation.

So why can’t they perform for you?

You tried these, but they only work marginally:

You don’t have a people problem — you have a missing system. High-performing teams at MNCs and leading tech companies run on three boring-sounding things:

SOPs

that live on paper, not in one employee’s head

Ownership

so clear that nobody waits to be chased

Workflows

everyone can see — so “I thought he was doing it” dies

A system can be installed. That’s what Creating Super Teams does — in 2 days, on your team’s real work.

Creating Super Teams
the proven solution that works immediately

Creating Super Teams is a hands-on 2-day training that installs the missing system in your company — the SOPs, ownership and workflows you just read about — built directly on your team’s real work, not case studies.

And it’s built for Malaysian SMEs specifically: no corporate bureaucracy, no consultant-speak, no six-month transformation project. Your actual team, in one room, for two days — and the system keeps running after everyone goes home. Even if your Lia one day resigns.

Inside the 2 days

No slides marathon. Your team works on their own real projects from the first hour — the workshop is built around your business, not case studies.

Day 1

See the problem. Fix the flow.

  • Module 1: Why your team is busy but results are slow — experience how overload slows teams down, and find your team’s hidden bottlenecks, unclear priorities and invisible work
  • Module 2: Fix the flow of work — make work visible and aligned, reduce overload, and focus on finishing instead of starting more
Day 2

Make it stick. Keep improving.

  • Module 3: Stop the back-and-forth — make decisions stick — clear ownership and accountability, faster decisions, less rework
  • Module 4: Build a team that improves itself — simple routines your team runs on their own, surfacing problems early, improving every week without the boss pushing

Ownership without chasing

Status updates arrive before you ask. Problems come to you with proposed solutions attached.

Deadlines that hold

Commitments are made by the team, tracked by the team, defended by the team.

A boss who can step back

Take the two-week holiday. The system doesn’t go on leave.

Why I built this

“In 23 years of enterprise work, I kept meeting SME bosses with all the hunger in the world — and none of the management tools. For two decades, Agile has transformed how the world’s biggest companies operate; almost none of that knowledge ever reached the SME. That never sat right with me. Now the AI + human age is arriving — and it will reward teams that run on a system, not on chasing. Creating Super Teams is my answer: the essential management knowledge of those 23 years, condensed into 2 days, and built to work on Monday morning.”

Real feedback from Ethan’s training classes

“The main impediments I have encountered are missing deadlines and lack of transparency on what is our teammates’ workload — at the end of the day, someone has to pick up the slack! [Now] I understand why… it is always about transparency, inspect and adapt.”

Fadzlianie YusofProject Manager, Product Validation

“Change and uncertainty are not an inconvenience, but a source of opportunity. Thank you to the excellent Trainer Ethan Soo for his valuable insights and exercises.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the HRD Corp claim work?

Creating Super Teams is 100% HRD Corp claimable. If your company contributes to the HRD Corp levy, the training cost can be claimed from your existing levy — often at no extra cash cost to you. We guide you through the paperwork: the grant application before the training and the claim after. Not sure if you’re eligible? We’ll confirm your levy eligibility for you during the free 15-minute Team Diagnostic.

We’re too busy for 2 days of training.

That’s usually the strongest sign you need it. The busyness is the symptom — chasing, rework and fire-fighting consume far more than 2 days every month. And because the workshop runs on your team’s real projects, the work doesn’t stop for the training: your team keeps moving it forward inside the room.

We’ve done team training before. Nothing changed.

Most training fails the Monday-morning test: inspiring on the day, zero change to how work actually flows. Creating Super Teams doesn’t teach concepts and hope. It installs a concrete system — ownership, visible work, a delivery rhythm — onto your team’s actual projects during the workshop, and your team leaves with a 30-day plan they built themselves. What changes on Monday is decided before Day 2 ends.

My industry is different — will this work for us?

The system isn’t industry-specific: it works anywhere work arrives, gets divided among people, and has to ship. Ethan has installed it in banks, airports, manufacturers, government agencies and tech companies. Because the 2 days run on your team’s real work, it fits your industry by construction — and if we honestly think your case isn’t a fit, we’ll tell you that on the free 15-minute call.

What if my team is small (under 10 pax)?

That’s normal for SMEs — many of the teams we train are small. The workshop is hands-on and works best when your real, everyday team is in the room together, even if that’s only a handful of people. Book the free Team Diagnostic and we’ll recommend the best format and pricing for your team size.

Is this classroom lecturing?

No. There is no slides marathon. Creating Super Teams is a hands-on 2-day workshop: your team works through exercises, simulations, and their own real work problems — and applies what they learn on the spot. Your people learn by doing, because that’s what actually changes how they work when they’re back at their desks.

How much does the full training cost?

From RM350 per pax per day for the 2-day program. The final quote depends on your team size and location. Because the training is 100% HRD Corp claimable, your HRD Corp levy may cover the full cost. We’ll confirm the exact number — and your levy eligibility — on the free 15-minute call.
