You know the challenge in bringing a group of diverse bright individuals together to be a team and perform consistently well.

In meetings, you notice who is first to express an opinion and who are the ones that sit back. You wonder, what’s holding them back from contributing? You find yourself tuning out, looking out to the distance, the future and dreading the next time you bring the team together.

Just how do you experience the ‘sum of your team being greater than its parts’?

You want to visualize something new. Ask yourself, what could a 1% improvement in your team’s performance mean to your organization? What would a 10% improvement mean? What percentage is meaningful to you given the business outcomes you lead?

Feel the sense of pride when you see an engaged team, sharing ideas, contributing to the mutual cause with agility and innovation, and at the end of the day, having a sense of belonging, inclusion and yes, even fun! This is a team that accepts responsibility for the authority you gave them to soar.

This is the needed outcome achieved when your team engages with a generative team coach. How do high performing teams happen, it’s not by accident? Excellence is an activity that occurs with intent, yours and from each of your team members.
