Abstract:
In their efforts to build high performing teams, most organizations focus exclusively on building the skills of their individual members, but do talented individuals guarantee you’ll have a cohesive team? In this session, we’ll discuss the “stuff” – the intangibles – that transform a collection of talented individuals into extraordinary teams; how leaders connect the passion of each team member to the achievement of the team’s common goal; and helping team members understand their responsibility as curators of the organization’s culture.

Key Take-Aways:

• An understanding of the necessity for team members to make individual sacrifices in order to achieve the team’s common goal/shared vision
• Best practices for communicating openly and honestly to foster a culture of trust
• Insight into leveraging daily, focused discipline to develop machine-like consistency
