Recent Team Building and Leadership Images
I love my work and take many photos…Below are some recent images that the companies and teams are okay with me sharing
Photo Inquiry Friday What does commitment to the goal and project look like?
Having commitment results in role clarity and all team members knowing what role they play and what role the others play in achieving the goal; sufficient allocation of resources to remain committed; decision get made because the team members are committed and know the roles of the team.
Under-Employment
Under-employment is being caged or confined to do work that does not allow you to use your full capability ( Current-Actual-Capability ) within the tasks assigned. It is generally manifested through a person having “bigger ideas” and application of the work and seeing connections for improvement being told “That is not your job, stay in your area and do what you are told.”

Often resistance to change is just the lack of clarity.
Taking the time to be clear on what the goal or end of the process will look like and defining with clarity what is expected can be enough to move people and yourself into action.
Team Building Assessing Accountability and Authority
Team Building happens when the team has a shared purpose (goal) and the accountability of the team, team leader and team members is defined, shared and known. As this is shared and known each person has the necessary knowledge and ability to do their best work and be a fully contributing team member.
Team Building Agenda: Kick-off Program for IT Leadership Team
Occasionally I create a Team-Building program agenda that is good enough to share. Below is the Day-1 ‘Kick-off’ program to 4 months of work I will be doing with an IT Leadership Team. The kick-off is meant to be fun and informative, plus allow me to determine specific areas and strengths that I can offer to the Directors over the next 4 months in coaching and consulting meetings.
Photo Inquiry Friday The team is stuck?
“Stuckness” is incredibly common amongst teams. It may come from a myriad of problems and knowing the problem does not necessarily give us a solution.
Competence + Organizational Support = Successful Teams and People
In other words…with the right organizational circumstances where a person who is competent in their role with leadership accountability, people progress together; the progression together touches the deep-seated value for social cohesion.
