There is a wrong time to review how your team works. As an accredited Five Behaviours of a Cohesive Team Coach, I’m always passionate about building better teams. But if things aren’t so settled, it might not be the right time for reviewing team dynamics if you want to get the most out of the process. If you have a new team (less than two months together), if you know that significant changes to team responsibilities or team expansion are on the way, or if there are significant organisational changes on the way you may be best waiting until the team is on a more stable footing before focussing in on improving performance. When I coach teams on the Five Behaviours, we use a team diagnostic to measure where the team is on each of the five. It's a fabulous metric to begin talking about current behaviours and work on improving dynamics and performance in the team. And of course, it means you can look back and see how far your team has come which will power you forwards to do more! ====== #FiveBehaviours #TeamDynamics #PerformanceImprovement

Avoiding Harmony Addiction in Organisations💡  Is your team's "no blame culture" actually masking a deeper issue of blame avoidance and harmony addiction? 🤔 This week on the Product Agility Podcast, I sat down with Jurriaan Kamer, co-author of Unblock: How to Create Focused and Adaptable Organizations, to explore how organisations can move beyond surface-level harmony and foster real alignment and agility. 🎙️ What we covered: Why avoiding conflict often masks deeper systemic issues. How to address behaviours and fears with a systemic lens rather than pointing fingers. The importance of fostering environments where constructive feedback leads to growth, not resentment. ✅ Key takeaway: Psychological safety isn’t about avoiding conflict; it’s about creating a culture where hard conversations can lead to meaningful change. If you’re ready to challenge harmony addiction and unlock true agility in your organisation, this episode is packed with actionable insights and fresh perspectives. 🎧 Give it a listen, and let us know: How does your organisation handle the hard conversations? #ProductAgilityPodcast #Leadership #PsychologicalSafety #AgileLeadership #TeamCulture

Barry Overeem asks a super relevant question, "Is 'Business Agility' still a thing?" The term may be dissolving but the need is greater than ever IMO. (He also references a great article by Christiaan Verwijs https://lnkd.in/ew3SxXAX) It's ironic that what he says about the term Business Agility might be true (it may have perpetuated the divide between IT and the Business), the challenges it set out to solve have still not been solved. In the Fortune 500, how many big companies have made progress on making their "whole company" agile? Capital One claims they conquered agile then laid off everyone with agile titles (are they perfect? I dunno, but I doubt it) Then like dominoes other financial institutions did the same (more out of fear, competition, inflation concerns, etc.) and as I've written about before Layoffs.fyi reports there have been 390,252 people laid off in 2023+2024... it's like the Great Depression for tech+agile workers out there in spite of the low unemployment numbers. Everywhere I look I still see dysfunction. The term Business Agility may have lost it's luster, but we need it more than ever... and unfortunately it feels like the big companies are in denial, or just so conservative at the moment that they've stopped hiring and investing in it. Companies have trained up software teams sure, but reorganizing with less layers, being more product focused and strategy aligned... and creating less organizational dependencies for teams... hardly anyone has actually done that well. My theory is that after there is more confidence in the economy, our industry will come roaring back. Hopefully the focus will be on the strategic alignment between business and high level product-driven goals and refocusing the roles of managers to better support agility everywhere in the company. #agile #businessagility #modernwaysofworking #product #valuedriven

While waiting for my flight (and wondering why I didn't book an earlier one) I find myself with time to reflect on #iventivamsterdam. There are valuable insights to be gained from conversations between #learningvendors and #learningprofessionals, especially when the pressure of a sales or renewal process is removed. This was my first iVentiv event focused solely on Leadership Development, and even though I’m writing this post while exhausted, I'm leaving with powerful perspectives on: Developing deep self-awareness Creating psychological safety Navigating the evolving HR landscape Building diverse leadership teams Leveraging the impact of coaching These are just the things that come to the top of my mind, but what I appreciate most is knowing that each person I spent the last few days with likely walked away with completely different highlights. As a side note, I've finally had a group picture taken without having my eyes closed 😃 For anyone that attended, what were your highlights? #enjoythelittlethings #learninganddevelopment #talentmanagement #leadershipdevelopment #opensesame

Salesforce Managers. Here's an idea from our outgoing interim CIO. Have your new team-members write their 90 day plan on their 90th day. There is a lot of advice directed at new-hires to draft a 90 day plan on day 1 or even cover it in their job interviews. I don't really agree with that because they don't know anything about the org, culture, and processes until they start. But if you want to have a high performing team, ask every new hire to draft the 90 day plan they wished they would have had when they started. A perfect task for their 90th first day.

It’s inspiring to see that at Novo Nordisk, learning is truly embraced at a strategic level. During UNLEASH, I had the chance to speak with Sanne Mantoni Macaire and raised an important point: in many organizations, the learning function is still viewed through a top-down lens and not always recognized as a strategic pillar. I was curious to hear her thoughts as 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 on how to elevate learning to become a core, strategic element of an organization’s success. One personal insight I gained from our conversation is how vital it is to claim your place as a 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿. 💡 To be seen as strategic within the organization, it’s essential to craft a𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆, 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 that other departments can see and experience, and 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 across teams—becoming a true driving force in 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗲𝘀. 🚀 UNLEASH 2024 was filled with incredible speakers, and I’m grateful to read your key takeaways—thank you for sharing, Sanne! 🙌 #UNLEASH2024 #Leadership #LearningAndDevelopment #StrategicLearning #HRInnovation #PeopleDevelopment #Collaboration #Strategy #FutureOfWork #Inspiration #Impact #CrossTeamCommunication

Everyone has different likes and needs when it comes to working styles, but it’s very interesting how Dan Schawbel, HR futurist and best-selling author, explains the two sides of working remotely. Yes, it gives you more flexibility, but it can also make you feel detached and lonely at times. What are your thoughts on this? #HumanResource #remotework

Why make culture tangible? ⚙️ This is why 👇 Too many companies believe they invest in culture, have a handle on culture, and understand their culture, thinking it will lead to high-performing teams. But it does not ❌. Why? 🤔 Because too often we focus on culture at a surface level; We mean: 👉 Emotions 👉 Vibes 👉 Making employees happy If you’re in a leadership team and the below quote resonates with you, you should: 🗺️ Map your culture at an operational level (check out our culture heatmap diagnostic) ⚙️ Break down and link root causes of problems at an operational level (tools, systems, processes, principles, rituals..) 💡Pick the right solution approach for maximum impact (e.g just do it? Vs co-creation) ♻️ Get the right feedback loops in place at a macro and micro level to make sure you can continue to manage it moving forward … oh and you should come work with us at Open Org as your culture support partner so we can guide you every step of the way 👣 https://lnkd.in/eqzUjaUn

I love this quote from Benjamin Franklin: "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." As a leader, if you want to build a top-tier ADR/SDR/BDR team, you need to give them a stage to perform on! 🚀 How can you expect someone to give their best if they arrive on their first day and the onboarding is not planned? If you don’t coach them or practice with them? To master new techniques like discovery questions, objection handling, or problem-based language, there’s one crucial factor:    PRACTICE            Reflect on your experiences with sports or playing musical instruments. How did you improve? Practice. Lots of it. Often, even more than actually engaging in the game itself. At Hexagon we have an environment where practice is ingrained in our culture and where learning is continuous. Join us and be part of a culture that values development, celebrates success, and invests in its people 👇 https://lnkd.in/eUj4RKAX
