Teamwork without Tantrums
Never confuse a team of leaders with a leadership team! A team of leaders doesn’t share one vision, works in multiple directions, and fights one another rather than the competition. A leadership team, on the other hand, is focused on the unified vision, works collaboratively, and transcends silos. This keynote is for leaders that want their leadership teams to realize it’s full potential. Eric Kaufmann has dissected thousands of hours of teamwork and teaches how leadership teams can stop burning precious time, energy, and goodwill. Eric reveals the three poisons of leadership team effectiveness: 1) drag – misinformed disagreement, 2) drift – lack of vision, and 3) friction – internal conflict. He then offers clear and focused instructions for becoming a leadership team that accelerate results by creating flow, alignment, and cohesion. This keynote is a deep dive into: Understanding why every team throws tantrums Applying a process for uncovering team dysfunctions Accelerating the ability to significantly increase trust in the team Creating a leadership presence that inspires team alignment.
