·Cohort-based Course
This is your secret weapon to get your team performing at its best.
Course overview
People quit their boss, not their company.
A leader's job is to align your team. And a team charter is a simple & powerful tool that helps you do just that.
Help your team do more with less and do it better through clear expectations and good relationships.
Who is this one-day workshop for
01
Busy Managers who need their teams to show up and get the work done — with no need to micromanage them.
02
New Managers who want to set your team (and yourself) up for success from the start — and those who need to re-set a struggling team too.
03
HR / L&D Leaders who want to build a cohort of skilled team leaders across a company (a great use of a professional development stipend!).
What you’ll get out of this workshop
A simple procedure to guide a complex process.
A team charter is an easy-to-use tool that moves a team through the stages of team development (forming, storming, norming & performing) quickly and without missing steps (that you'll have to do over later).
When to set boundaries and when to allow agency.
One of the hardest things for leaders to navigate is knowing how much freedom to allow their teams to have. We'll dig deep on this topic and give you some simple heuristics to follow.
What to do when things go wrong.
No two teams are the same and no process is 100% fool proof. I'll help you understand where charters can go wrong and how to modify your approach when they do.
The question that changes everything.
There's one question you can ask your team that will unlock their potential. But you have to come to class to find out what it is (or just follow my writing because I do talk about it a lot 😊).
