Leading teams is never easy.
Even in organisations with talented, intelligent individuals, and great pay and benefits, it is still a real challenge to build strong and healthy teams.
Despite our best efforts as leaders, politics can easily set in, confusion can build, productivity drops and before we know it morale is ebbing away… taking time, and energy, and money and even our best people along with it.
How can we build healthy teams when we are all wired so differently from each other?
How can we build a foundation of cohesion and trust?
How can we engage in healthy conflict and debate?
And how can we get the best out of each other and create high performing teams?
