Team Development – Don’t Half-Arse It

from The Leader's Kitbag

Team development is not something you can half-arse.  In this episode, I share my own lessons from both sides of the fence; leading teams and facilitating team-development sessions.  I reflect on why I no longer deliver one-off off-sites, and how those well-intended but poorly followed-up sessions often do more harm than good.  Through a full English breakfast analogy (you’ll see), I unpack why leaders need to be all in for team development to work.  In this episode, you’ll learn: Why team development is a daily leadership habit, not an event The ‘chicken and pig’ test for commitment What to do before calling in a facilitator  Get Leadership Tools Straight to Your Inbox  If you’re serious about team development and want real, practical leadership insights that cut through the fluff, then subscribe to my newsletter here.  I’ll send you tools, ideas, and reflections to help you show up better every day, not just when you’re at an offsite.
