Leaders create teams with the highest of hopes, but often fail to set them up for success. This leads to unnecessary frustration, wasted time and increased cynicism. I think of the famous “Rental Car Reservation” scene from Seinfeld …
The comedian Rodney Dangerfield used to say, “I went to a fight, and a hockey game broke out.” He was poking fun at the sport that can sometimes devolve from a skillful display of talent into a brawl. Sadly, this reminded me of my work with leaders and teams.
John Cleese had it right when he filmed his hilarious video, “Meetings, Bloody Meetings.” As a Principal Consultant with The Table Group, the subject of meetings is often discussed when working with leadership teams on their journeys to organizational health.
