16 Growth Strategies to Consider as a Team

Team Ground Rules: The Glue That Holds Extraordinary Teams Together
Ground rules are like the “rules of the road” for your team. They tell us how we should function, how to handle distractions, and what to do when things get off track. Without them, it’s easy for even the best-intentioned teams to lose their way. Think of these rules as your team’s “Constitution,” guiding your work and keeping things running smoothly. And just like any great Constitution, it can and should evolve over time.

Engaging Disengaged Participants in Strategic Planning
A client recently asked me, "What do you do when you’re facilitating strategic planning and there are people that aren’t engaged?
