Why Should I Come To The Team Effectiveness Intensive?
I spoke with a manager last week who told me that “I’m doing everything I can, but we still feel stuck.” As a manager, it can be hard to know when to invest in your own development and when to take action. We’re so used to “leaders eating last” that we’re hesitant to take action.
But when things aren’t going the way you want them to, you have to step up. To quote my friend Gary: “It’s not your fault, but it is your problem.”
This is where the Team Effectiveness Intensive comes in. It’s a hands-on experience for managers who want to stop firefighting and start leading a team that actually works together.
Are you seeing any of these things happening on your team?
People are working hard, but the results are inconsistent.
High performers aren’t collaborating.
Someone on your team isn’t pulling their weight.
Getting to a decision feels impossible - endless discussions over Slack or hallway sidebars.
Delegated work comes back off-target.
You keep stepping in to solve the same problems and no one else is taking ownership.
Managing a team is really hard, and there are no simple solutions. We tend to blame the things we can see - personality clashes, poor processes, individual performance, leadership failures. And those are real!
But as a team leader, it doesn’t matter who is at fault and where the blame lies. Regardless of the environment you’re in, enabling a thriving team is your responsibility.
This isn’t about fixing dysfunction. It’s about unlocking the true potential of your team; helping everyone - including yourself! - get out of their own way so that everyone can thrive.
How will the Team Effectiveness Intensive help me?
Everyone’s experience in these Intensives looks different. After the Intensive, you’ll be better equipped to:
Delegate more clearly, and actually see the work done right.
Be clear about your team’s priorities, and hold people accountable to them.
Give consistent feedback, and stop dreading difficult conversations.
Help your team find their own path forward, rather than always giving them the answers.
Build excitement and enthusiasm to be a part of the team.
And above all, you’ll see your team start to take responsibility for the work they’re delivering, rather than coming to you to solve every problem.
Support and tools don’t stop with the workshop itself. You’ll leave the course with…
A cohort of people managing teams in different geographies and industries that you can go to for advice or support.
Insight into how you make decisions, how you work best, and what kind of leader you want to be.
A “talk track” on key leadership concepts you can bring back to your team and your peers.
A collection of dad puns and random water sport metaphors for leadership.
