5 Conversations for Top Team Cultures
‘You don’t always need to be in the same room, you do need to be on the same page’
When you can listen deeply, challenge courageously and own your part, your team can truly be on the same page for high performance. This doesn’t mean more meetings or just being nicer, it demands a clear structure that tackles the specific human and strategic needs of your team – no matter how crazy things get.
