When team results are not as expected, leaders are asked to fix things. The first place to look at is people: who’s achieving their KPIs and who’s not. Sometimes, things don't seem to be moving in the right direction, even with a superstar onboard. Because one person’s efforts are not enough to sustain high performance in the long run. Multiple factors influence team performance. As leaders, our role is to guide and nurture each of the team's members, as well as support and improve their coherence when working interdependently toward achieving collective goals. Here's what we'll cover: 1. Team results should not depend on the results of only one individual, and if they do, there’s a systemic issue that needs attention. 2. Why does replacing team members or adjusting processes and systems not do the trick? 3. The bad idea of having team results relying on a superstar Join us!

Awareness plays a key role in personal development. Team culture awareness does the same for team coherence and greatly impacts the team's ability to achieve high performance. “This is how we do things around here.” “This is how we are.” are phrases that speak just about that - team culture. Understanding your team culture can help create a stronger, more successful team. It can help you achieve your goals and meet your KPIs faster. Failure to do so can cost you a lot of time, energy, and resources and give you headaches. Team culture and how it supports or prevents achieving better results is what we will talk about in this episode of the Team X Podcast. Here is what we’re covering: What is team culture and how does it differ from the larger organization’s culture? Why is it important to be aware of your team’s culture? How does team culture impact high performance? Tune in!

Significant changes are disruptive for teams: Rapid expansion, with quite a bunch of people having to be integrated into a team. Pivoting the business model to adjust to the current market situation. Mergers and acquisitions, with teams merging or getting restructured. All these things can affect the team’s dynamics and performance. They can hinder morale and have an impact on KPI achievement. All these are good opportunities for managers to coach their teams. Team coaching a team going through these three major changes is what we’re talking about on this episode of the Team X Podcast powered by Rosentall Coaching. Join us!

“[only] what gets measured, gets managed” management guru Peter Drucker once said. Teams are living, breathing, collective entities, with a level of complexity that lies between that of an individual and that of an organization (which is a team of teams). Before embarking on a journey of growth and development as a manager or team leader, you need to be able to assess where your team is at. How do you assess your team’s performance in order to lead it to high performance? This is what we’re talking about on the next episode of the Team X Podcast. Here’s what we’ll cover: The difference between individual and team assessment Why do you need to assess your team What to measure when assessing your team Join us!

Independence is a substantial value for most people. While dependence tends to get a bad rep. How about interdependence? In the context of teamwork and high-performing teams, these three values harmoniously intermingle. Interdependence is defined as the extent to which team members work collectively, affect, and are affected by others. Interdependence requires trust, as team members need to exchange information, knowledge, and resources, and coordinate in decision making. It helps create a sense of sharing a common path for the team members. At the same time, certain tasks, goals, and outcomes still need to be achieved independently by individuals who depend on each other. How do these three all play into the team dynamics? This is what we’re talking about on this episode of the Team X Podcast powered by Rosentall Coaching. Follow us and learn more about how team coaching can improve team performance.

As a people leader, you have your own personal values. So do your team members. Hard work, integrity, passion, growth, health, responsibility, humor, acceptance. The list can go on. Most likely, it’s due to them that you’re successful in your career. You might share some of the same values with your individual team members. You might have complementary ones. Or maybe even different. How do you align people driven by different values to work together towards a common goal and achieve high performance? Identifying a set of core values that they can all relate to and can rally behind is a starting point. This is what we’re doing in the next Team X Podcast episode powered by Rosental Coaching: figuring out what the top 5 core values that drive a high-performing team are. The core values of a team are the beliefs that inspire it. They drive the team’s actions. They guide its decisions. A team’s core values can be the same as the main organization’s values. They can be derived from them. They can even be different. What are your team’s core values? Join the conversation and share them with us!

Employees don't quit companies; they quit managers! This adage is well known to most people in the business world. Attrition is a significant disruptor for any team in any organization. And the negative consequences caused by it give many leaders lots of headaches. Each team has its own dynamics. These unseen forces govern the interactions between the group's members and their leadership. How they respond to internal and external influences. The way they keep themselves and each other accountable. These forces are the underpinnings of everything going on in a team. How can you and your team keep performing at high levels despite attrition? Despite new team members' long raping up time? Despite strategy changes. Despite resource shortages. One of the answers is to develop sustainable teams. This is the topic of this new episode of the Team X Podcast.

Some of the biggest struggles many leaders have are lack of time and work overload.   Imagine delegating tasks to your team and then moving on to do your high-ROI tasks.  Without your team members returning with a million questions.  Without you having to babysit them along the way.

One of the most frequent issues leaders want to work on is improving their relationship with their team. Leaders who care about their team are investing lots of time and money in trying to 'fix’ the team, offering them more training, more tools, more rewards, team building events, etc., only to discover that something is not working properly, something is still missing. Surprisingly, the solution to the issue declared by the leader can often be addressed by looking somewhere else. Learn more about team coaching at https://rosentallcoaching.com/
