Interpersonal Alchemy: The Magic Behind High-Performing Teams

Alchemy is that seemingly magical process of transforming something worthless into something priceless. One piece of magic many of us seek to understand is how to turn that “OK” group of people into a kick-a$$, high-performing team. We believe there must be some magic at play with these teams, but it’s no magic, my friend. Instead, it has everything to do with how these people connect. Mark will share the magical elements that make up high-performing teams during this session. We’ll review several examples of high-performing teams (e.g., Navy Seals) and extract those elements that help them rise above the rest, including how they work together and their overall work environment. We’ll also review several techniques you can immediately start using to initiate that magical chemical reaction of high performance in your team. So join me in my laboratory and unleash your inner alchemist!
