Does your leadership team have a Super Bowl? That may be one reason why it’s stuck and uncommitted.

Read the Transcript

You know this Sunday is the Super Bowl between the Rams and the Bengals. What is your Super Bowl? A lot of leadership teams and organizations are stuck because they don’t have an ambition. I watched a documentary not too long ago on the Apollo program. Or there’s some organizations that are trying to eradicate disease or trying to disrupt industries. You know whatever it is it doesn’t have to be that big. But what’s the ambition of your leadership team? What is it trying to achieve ultimately? Without that it’s easy to get stuck in the mud and it’s hard to get unstuck and move forward without having that guiding compass.

If your leadership team is stuck, it could be because you are prioritizing certainty over clarity.

Read the Transcript

 You know, I was leafing through the book The New Leadership Literacies again and I was reminded of
something really important and that is clarity over certainty. So many leadership teams and organizations are stuck right now, because they’re waiting for certainty. What is the world going to look like? What’s next? How should we move forward? What your team and organization needs is clarity. This is what we’re going to focus on now. This is what we’re going to rally around. This is what’s most important. Clarity over certainty is a way to get unstuck.

 Football teams know what they are ultimately trying to achieve. What is your team trying to achieve?

In order to re-energize your team, it needs to be going someplace. As I’m sitting here at the beginning of February 2022 the Rams and the Bengals are going to the Super Bowl. They have a clear ambition that they’re trying to achieve. What is your team ultimately trying to achieve? Or is it just treading water doing the same normal work that it does every day? Have a conversation about that with your team as part of the process to re-energize so everyone is going someplace and trying to achieve the same collective vision and purpose.

What is the key to having a difficult conversation so that you can build a leadership team of team players?

Read the Transcript

You know, I recorded a video about the importance of having a difficult conversation to be sure that you have team players on the team and that begs the question, how do you have a difficult conversation? So I just wanted to share what I’ve learned which is if you need to have a difficult conversation the way to do that is to right now go and have the difficult conversation and just get it out on the table. It really isn’t that complicated. The hard part is just to go and do it.

What do we need to do as leaders if we don’t have team players on the team?

Read the Transcript

You know, sometimes we don’t have team players on the team and that’s where we need to start. We need team players on the team. Michael Brody-Waite says that most leaders are sitting on a difficult conversation around a person, around a behavior or around a situation. Is there a difficult conversation that you’ve been putting off that is keeping your team from being re-energized and having team players on the team?                    I encourage you not to put that off any longer.
