74. Creating Team Harmony For Results

Secrets From a Coach - Debbie Green & Laura Thomson's Podcast

This second episode in our focus on healthy work relationships focuses on harmonious teams. Rather than a nice to have, it is a need to have - when we work in harmony we shift our attention on sorting out the results rather than each other. With record numbers of people leaving and starting roles there are a lot of new beginnings and firsts happening within teams. We share tips for welcoming new team members in without destabilising existing ones. Asking someone the question 'this is happening, what are your thoughts on how we make it work?' could be the game-changing 20 min chat today that secures results tomorrow. Its about shifting the mindset around team changes from being seen as a threat, to being seen as an opportunity. We share lessons from army leadership strategy on creating movement as the team size grows in scale. Rather than slowing things down, when a team is in tune with each other, scaling up the size speeds things up. Ideal listen for anyone who is part of a team going through change and needs to bring in the results.
