Let’s be honest these days, most executive teams face unprecedented levels of complexity, stress and change and it can be both exhausting and frustrating.
Leaders nowadays have many identities, sit on many teams and cross-functional projects. They have to perform and transform a business in parallel: Very often they do not see themselves as a team.
Despite this polarities and pressure, organisations still have huge expectations around performance and results. That’s why we see a great deal of burnout.
Transformation and culture change requires time to think and yet there is never enough time. Ironically most of the research shows that high performance only occurs if teams prioritize that time together. Time to connect, build trust, think strategically, have difficult conversations and take action.
So how do you spend that time together? It has to be more than energizers and building pasta towers.
