Is The Vision for Your Team Big Enough?

Teams everywhere are BROKEN, and leaders need to ask the following three questions:

  • Are the stakes big enough? Have you created a Point of No Return? Have you burned the boats?
  • Have you created an environment where most of the people can do the right thing most of the time without supervision?
  • Is the accountability to the right & left; or is it up & down? Do you have true commitment versus mere compliance, and is the loyalty to each other versus you and the organization?
  • For leaders addressing the issues of a dysfunctional team, the best tool is the bathroom mirror accompanied by this question:

Can you push yourself out of your own comfort zone?
