Strategy Café

The dynamic of your leadership team, especially in a family business, is key to success. Great teams have more chance of surviving in a difficult market and will outperform other teams in a good one. There is no route to high performance without being deeply emotionally involved with one another and easing the tensions that pressure brings.

When interpersonal chemistry and relational intelligence in leadership teams are not yet developed, the tensions of daily life sometimes become 'Dead Cats.' Smellier than the elephant in the room (which we all know to ignore), a dead cat needs action, and our process of Burying the Dead Cats can heal relationships at breaking point.

Tune in as the Alembic Team discusses Dead Cats, and how to bury them. The tensions that naturally happen in the high pressure of business leadership, and even more so in family businesses, can gain momentum and push us apart.

Our process helps clients learn how to change the direction of that momentum, fix broken relationships, and make the impossible possible.

We hope you find value in listening to this webinar and would be pleased to talk to you more about how to do this for your family business or leadership team. Book a meeting with a member of the team on our website alembicstrategy.com.
