One Thing for Team Cohesion – Many businesses are run by well-intentioned leadership teams who have a good understanding of the details of their business.
But they don’t spend a lot of time thinking or talking about why their organisation exists or what values should drive their behaviours.
And though they talk about being strategic, they can’t articulate a clear, simple strategy, and they don’t have a consistent method for evaluating their decisions.
The leadership team is constantly managing against a long list of broad-ranging goals, some of which may not be compatible and most of which relate to only a few members of the team.
In a cohesive leadership team, the members share a common passion for what they are committed to, abiding by the same set of values.
They have a clear plan for success and know exactly how they differ from the competition.
At any given moment, they can articulate their top, collective priority, and they understand how every member of the team contributes to achieving that priority.
Most importantly, your leadership team needs a level of trust that permits true debate and constructive conflict to occur.
