I often see teams engrossed by deadlines, governing structures, strategic plans, and KPIs. All good stuff. And yet the result of over focusing here can lead to unclear communication, festering tensions, and a whole lot of unnecessary drama. 

To do the work means also working on the team relationship. The behaviours and beliefs that create the ‘us’ of a team fuel the work – that’s where the magic happens. 

Ask the question: how do we work together?

Co-create the answer: it reduces drama, inserts accountability, creates conditions for innovation, and clarifies team culture. 

Challenges and conflict are inevitable. Drama comes and goes. Taking the time to explore how you’ll navigate that chaos together is crucial.
