Summary:
I love baseball.   Seeing an outfielder make an outstanding catch, watching a pitcher throw a no-hitter, or hearing the crack of the bat when a slugger hits one  out of the park is a real thrill to me.  Growing up, I always imagined  playing professional baseball and
could have made it to the big leagues  except I couldn’t hit as well, throw as hard, or field as good (i.e., I  was a far cry from being talented enough!).  As an adult, one thing that I have grown to appreciate about baseball is the teamwork involved in  winning games.  A pitcher can pitch a great game, but if the offense  doesn’t produce any runs they can still lose the game.  Or, you can have the best home-run hitter in the league on your team and you could still lose 100 games in a season.  The team has to work together to deliver results, in the form of wins.

This couldn’t be more true when  it comes to work teams.  You could have an outstanding team member who  nails every one of her deliverables, but if the team leader is weak or  if other team members aren’t doing what is expected of them then the  entire team is going to fail.  While the one team member is a stand-out  performer, she is unable to carry the weight of the entire team herself.  She will be a star on a losing team.

As team leaders, we face a daunting challenge of how to unify our teams to where they are able to  work together in delivering greater results than any one team member  could do on his or her own.  Whether it be due to lack of clarity in roles & responsibilities, team infighting, poor accountability, or non-recognition of results, a team that doesn’t perform well as a team  won’t deliver what the organization needs and will get the team leader  voted off the island. 

This seminar is focused on helping team  leaders understand five key factors which contribute to a unified team  and helping them put changes in place to better align and unify their  work teams and deliver  outstanding results for their organization.  Also keep in mind that these are not the only factors which unify teams.   They are, in my experience, five key factors which contribute to team  success and are also prone to be overlooked.  So, without further ado,  let’s get to business…
