Team Leader's Playbook - How to Build Teams that Actually Deliver
André Martin
Org Psychologist | CEO Coach | Author
Build collective confidence so your team doesn't just perform—they dominate.
Most team leaders have never been taught how to actually lead a team.
You know how to do the work. But running an inspiring weekly meeting? Having the tough conversation? Setting goals that people commit to? You're winging it—and so is everyone else.
The Team Leader's Playbook is a 3-week intensive that builds the mindsets, frameworks, and tools to lead your team with clarity and confidence every day—by mastering the moments that matter most.
The course is built around building collective confidence through a playbook for 4 high-leverage moments:
Annual goal-setting — where alignment happens or doesn't
The weekly team meeting — where you focus energy on what matters most
The one-on-one — where trust is won or lost
The offsite — where you create commitment, conviction, and community
What's included:
9 hours of live, interactive sessions with Dr. André Martin
2 leadership assessments + a custom leadership profile
1 peer coaching session with your cohort
1 hour of office hours with Dr. Martin
30-day text-based nudge course to keep the momentum going
Lifetime access to all recordings and materials
