Poor Team Performance is Rising: What's Changed & What to Do About it. With Cameron Geddes, Australia

from The Authentic Advisor · host Mindshop

Why Teams Aren't Performing (And How Advisors Can Actually Help Fix Them).Everyone's busy. But busy isn't the same as effective and right now, most teams are doing a lot of the former while quietly losing grip on the latter.Cameron Geddes has spent close to two decades working inside teams across health, government and corporate organisations. In this episode he gives a frank, no-fluff assessment of what's actually breaking team performance right now, what high-performing leaders are doing differently and how business advisors can support them.The real culprits aren't the ones most leaders focus on. Fatigue and overload are symptoms, not causes. Poor operating cadence, absent leadership and weak alignment are what's actually doing the damage. Cam also draws a sharp distinction between training and learning that every advisor working with leaders needs to hear. Without follow-through and real application, behaviour simply doesn't change, and the gap doesn't close itself.His parting challenge is to stop being the answer to everything. In a world where AI is eroding the value of information and accelerating the value of judgment, the shift from giving answers to asking great questions is the single most important move a leader can make right now.A tight, honest conversation with someone who's seen what works from the inside. Well worth the 30 minutes.Chapters00:00 Why good teams are struggling02:13 Busy but not effective06:05 When leaders go missing10:10 Why alignment breaks down14:15 Training vs learning18:04 The one word: discipline22:09 Stop being the answer
