Your team's two biggest enemies
Research shows that fun and performance in the workplace have two enemies that are more threatening than any others: poor communication and a lack of trust. These are the two cornerstones of a close-knit team that is enthusiastic and delivers outstanding work.
The key question for many teams and leaders is: how do you go about building communication and trust? More meetings? A trendy new communication tool? A day of team-building games followed by a barbecue?
These things can contribute to the atmosphere. But they don’t fundamentally deepen and strengthen the cohesion of your team.
Your story
Who are you as a team member or leader behind your professional role? What has shaped you, and what drives or holds you back? Where are your vulnerabilities? And what resources do you tap into when things get heated?
Your culture
A healthy company is sustained by a healthy culture.
How do you know if yours is healthy, ready to live the brand, meet the demands of your market and fulfil your vision of organisational wellbeing?
Your team
When did it function at its very best, and what do you experience in the less successful moments? What stories lie on and beneath the surface about who you are, what you do, and why it matters?
