Art’s Weekly Leadership Message: Get Engaged to Help Your Project Teams Succeed
I hear from hundreds of professionals every year in workshops, via coaching assignments or in classrooms, about the challenges they have working in and on project teams. From almost every student’s worst nightmare, the classroom group project, to major strategic initiatives with high-level sponsorship, the complaints are consistent: we as leaders don’t do enough to support team development and performance. While the list of things that can go horribly wrong on project teams is long, these 5 consistently rise to the top of the lament list.
A Black Friday Jolt of Leadership Caffeine™-Book Promotion and Helping Hand
Note from Art: It's a great time of year to think of the people doing the heavy lifting for you. What better gift than one filled with ideas, inspiration and a call to action in pursuit of great results. Any and all of my profits from the book sale here will be donated to a local Chicago-area Food Pantry during this Holiday Season.
