Do your teammates feel “all in” to you? Do they feel really committed? If you have doubts, here are four thoughts for you … because without commitment your team won’t get far. (1) Choose your teammates with their differing team roles in mind. Why? Because it’s essential that every member feels they have a role that adds value to the team’s endeavour. If they feel their role matters, they’re more likely to feel committed. (2) Get your team’s number one goal right. Make sure it’s energising, make sure it matters to everyone in the team. That way, they’ll naturally feel “all in”. Without a motivating number one goal, they won’t. (3) The team leader must put effort into understanding what makes every member “tick” and then act on what they learn. It’s essential they pay attention to individuals’ differing needs and motivations. One size doesn’t fit all. (4) There’s one other thing the team leader can do to boost collective commitment: make individual teammates feel noticed and appreciated. For example, say how much you appreciate something they’ve done or contributed. Or instead invite quieter members to say what they’re thinking. Ready to dive deeper?

Has your team effectiveness taken a hit since the pandemic?

Ever find yourself questioning if your team has the right people mix? Building a successful team starts with understanding the 'why' behind its existence - what I call its Basic Purpose. Then it’s about choosing people who fit this purpose AND bring in the eight key team behaviours to the table. (Shout out to Meredith Belbin here!) It's like being a team sports coach picking the ideal lineup where each player knows and excels in their position. Every one of your teammates should know their natural and secondary team roles – which aren’t the same as job titles. But just as important, they should value the team roles others play. You see, it’s easier to assume that your natural roles are the most important in a team. (They’re not.) Two-way appreciation builds a culture where everyone's strengths are recognised. That way you can leverage them for the team’s success. By being clear on your basic purpose, ensuring a good blend of team roles, and encouraging people to switch between their primary and secondary roles where needed, your team can avoid common pitfalls like unhelpful clashes and horrendous skill gaps. Are you ready to lead the charge in transforming your team dynamics?

As I was working through some organizational challenges for a client, my dog was napping beside me. That’s when it hit me: she’s the real CEO of our household. She’s established a clear North Star for the organization (getting all the attention) and successfully cascaded it down to her team. She’s also mastered strategic positioning—always securing the perfect spot to observe everything (from on top of the couch). When a crisis arises—like the Amazon delivery guy coming too close—she doesn’t waste time forming a committee. She charges to the door, leading from the front with a confident fury of barks. And delegation? She’s nailed that too. Why handle mundane tasks like fetching food and water when she’s got me for that? Plus, she never misses a meeting—our 1:1s are rock solid: two walks daily, rain or shine. That’s consistency. She’s got a clear North Star, well-defined objectives, delegates effectively, and is a master at driving organizational consensus. NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY I WORK HERE!

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀? For us, it's high performance. Here's a question I spend a lot of time thinking about: "Are we as a team all on the same page about what high performance actually means"? Last week, we did a 60-minute team building session with our Searchbox team on ‘High Performance’ and what it means to us as a team. The three main themes we talked about were leadership (leading ourselves and leading our clients), collaboration (working together and supporting each other) and client experience. We also did a start, stop, continue exercise - which allowed us to reflect on the behaviours and actions that could get us closer to our vision for high performance.

And finally - we concluded the session with an ‘empty chair’ exercise that we learnt from Jeff Bezos from Amazon. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁. So we put ourselves in our clients shoes, and reflected on what our clients might want from us as a high-performance team. It certainly gave our team plenty of new and interesting perspectives, along with plenty of motivation to keep reaching for the vision we've set for ourselves!
