Introduction Every leader knows that high performing teams are essential for an organization's success. But why do companies struggle to build powerful, focused teams that work well together? What's the secret?
Transformation expert Richard Hawkes, author of Navigate the Swirl (Wiley, April 19, 2022), explains that the key to building high performing teams is getting leadership and culture right before diving into roles, strategies, and execution. He observes that: "A great strategy in an ineffective culture is worth less than a mediocre strategy in a learning culture."
