Stronger Together: Game-Changing Leadership Strategies to Erase Territorial Divides
Why do we still struggle to collaborate effectively despite our focus on culture, engagement, and communication? Why are territorial divides still present in many organizations? Why do we accept this as “the way it is?”
Could it be we have overlooked the solution hiding in plain sight? Perhaps the solution to why teams are disconnected, why there are communication gaps, why we suffer from disruptive conflict, why our differences get in the way, and why we experience us vs. them thinking is that we simply haven’t consistently practiced how to work together effectively?
In this engaging keynote, teamwork expert Mark Kenny demonstrates how practicing a few game-changing teamwork strategies is crucial for organizational success. Just like a sports team practices team cohesion and chemistry, Mark showcases how practicing these teamwork and collaboration strategies transforms business performance, culture, and job satisfaction.
Discover how overcoming territorial divides, fostering engagement, resolving disruptive conflicts, improving results, and appreciating our differences hinge on mastering the game-changing leadership strategies of working together.
Learning Objectives:
- Describing the root causes of territorial divides and collaboration challenges.
- Using game-changing strategies to foster greater team engagement.
- Discovering how deliberately practicing teamwork can improve overall results and build strategic cohesion within your organization.
- Constructing the practical steps to practice effective teamwork within your organization.
Building Tomorrow Together: Stop Us vs. Them Mentalities
What hinders a collaborative spirit between us, amongst team members and teams, at all levels? Why is a culture of teamwork so elusive? Why do our differences keep getting in the way?
While we all play a role in building a spirit of collaboration and teamwork, it’s easier to wait for someone else to take the lead. But waiting for someone else perpetuates the cycle of disconnectedness, disruptive differences, frustration, team cohesion challenges, and us vs. them thinking. The solution starts with each of us making one game-changing decision: to take personal responsibility for practicing teamwork. When we each take personal responsibility for practicing teamwork, it creates hope, connection, a collaborative spirit, and an appreciation of our differences.
In this interactive keynote, teamwork expert Mark Kenny demonstrates how a personal commitment to teamwork transforms cultural and organizational success. Like members of a sports team who are personally committed to working together, Mark highlights the profound impact a personal commitment to actively practice teamwork and collaboration has on results, culture, joy, and engagement.
Discover how taking personal responsibility to practice teamwork is the key to building a tomorrow that everyone wants.
