"If you don't know where you're going, any way will take you there" said the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland. So how do you make your direction so clear for a team that they all follow and are eager to follow the same path? Let's build on last week's episode and look at creating a clarity that is really compelling in your team.

What difference would it make to your leadership if you knew that there were just three conditions that you need to focus on and could make your team incredibly successful?

Team leaders are leading in an environment today that has significantly changed in many ways. Being awesome at your skill or trade will only get you so far. So we are starting a mini-series of Connects, which over the following weeks will tackle the big rocks that team leaders need to get a handle on to really thrive in this new world of work.

Transformation and evolution happens bit by bit. Today's Connect will set you up for success for the rest of your journey, so that you can achieve the change that you want for yourself, your team, and your organisation.

Do you wake up in the middle of the night and add to your to-do list by your bedside, and that never ever ends. Hmm. And then maybe wonder why you feel burnt out.

Ever feel worried that something you really want to go well, ooh, will just fail or go badly? Well, welcome to the world of self-fulfilling prophecies and how you can change them to deliver the success that you seek.

We're realizing that the only thing that we really have control of is yourself. But how do you actually do that and then really positively impact your leadership?

You've had a week to get clear on your circle of influence. Now you'll have a chance to take some time out to reflect on how it went.

Things are a bit confusing and complex at the moment, and as a team leader you may be feeling that things are a little out of your control, but you may have more of a grip than you think.

We know the challenges that teams and leaders face today. We've led team and have worked with thousands of team leaders from the shores of Tanzania to the floors of Silicon Valley.
