Forget Teambuilding!
how to make high-performance teamwork the way we do business

Abstract

The goal is to get the right talents working together on every team, regardless of where staff report, with clear individual accountabilities and a clear chain of command -- and to do all this automatically, all the time, without the need for executive intervention.

The truth is, few organizations accomplish this goal. People get along fine, but teamwork breaks down due to unclear accountabilities and contention for control.

Team-building generally doesn't help, because the root cause is rarely interpersonal. The problems are systemic.

This session explains how to make high-performance teamwork happen consistently by clarifying who's the "prime contractor" and who are the "sub-contractors" within each team.
