All the Feels: Sweet & Salty
Healthy teamwork embraces disagreement, shared leadership, active participation, and honest feedback to create a constructive atmosphere where teams grow stronger together.
All the Feels: Bringing Joy to Teams
Effective teams thrive when shared vision, people development, clear purpose, collaboration, and open communication work together to create alignment and momentum.
All the Feels: It Takes a Village
When teamwork is functioning well, teams experience greater satisfaction, stronger collaboration, and better decision-making. Effective teams create synergy that allows individuals to contribute their strengths while overcoming weaknesses together.
Are You Married to Teamwork or Growing Apart?
Are you married to teamwork or growing apart as of late? Just like marriage, effective teams require commitment, shared responsibility, and intentional leadership development. When individuals carry the load alone, productivity suffers and organizational effectiveness breaks down. True team leadership is not about titles or hierarchy but about shared vision, mutual respect, and collaborative responsibility. When leaders commit to team development, invest in healthy relationships, and model intentional leadership, teams grow stronger, more resilient, and aligned around a common mission.
To Team or Not to Team…That is the Question!
What would happen if you did not prioritize enhancing your own team leadership? The truth is that a lack of intentionality in leadership development can weaken your team culture, slow organizational growth, and limit long term success. When leaders invest in team training, collaboration, and communication skills, the results are expansive and deeply rewarding.
Exponential Leadership: It Starts on the Inside
With solid character emitting from the heart of a leader, other virtues naturally emanate, exemplifying the standards for the team. Effective leaders and their staff members can be compared to a ship’s captain and the crew: even though it is essential that the ship’s captain have some vision of what lies beyond the horizon, it is also important that the crew understand the standards by which their performance will be assessed as they sail toward it.
OWN YOUR TEAM’S DEVELOPMENT
It is very important that we, as leaders, determine what developmental stage our team is in, not only for the purpose of knowing our responsibilities, but because your team needs to work its way through the elements of each phase. There are valuable formation skills that are attained through each stage. Wise leaders regularly reflect on those under their care, both individually and as a team.
