Leading a healthy organization isn’t complex – it’s simple, but requires mastery of four disciplines. Harder than it looks, but well worth the effort.
feat. James Felton
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.
