Building a High-Performance Team™ · 2 days
A team of stars
isn't a star team.
Talent alone doesn't make a team perform. Trust does: the kind that lets people admit mistakes, challenge ideas and hold each other to account. This workshop gives leaders the tools to build that trust on purpose, and to keep it when the pressure is on.
#1 factor
Google's study of 180 teams found psychological safety mattered most
Team scan
Find out exactly where your team is stuck
Team charter
Leave with agreed norms the whole team can see
Sound familiar?
"Everyone nods in the meeting, then complains afterwards."
"We agree on priorities, and then nothing changes."
"I'm the only one who holds people accountable."
What changes
From a group of individuals to a team that delivers.
01
Make it safe to speak up
Create the conditions where people raise problems early, share ideas and admit mistakes without fear.
02
Turn conflict into progress
Draw out honest debate about ideas, so decisions are better and people actually commit to them.
03
Share the accountability
Build a team where peers hold each other to standards, and results matter more than individual credit.
