“Rethinking How Top Teams Work” with Wanda Wallace, Managing Partner of Leadership Forum and Darren Overfield, EVP, Coaching & Consulting at Kaiser Leadership Solutions

How do the most effective leadership teams really make decisions?

Why do traditional approaches to team effectiveness often fail?

My guests on this episode are Wanda Wallace, Managing Partner of Leadership Forum and Darren Overfield, EVP, Coaching & Consulting at Kaiser Leadership Solutions

During our conversation Wanda, Darren and I discuss:

• Why traditional ideas about executive team effectiveness often fail in the real world.
• The surprising discovery that “cliques” and subgroups in executive teams can actually help, not hurt, team effectiveness.
• Why transparency is critical to reducing conflict and improving team dynamics.
• How effective top teams “zoom in and zoom out” to encourage collaboration and healthy debates.
• How HR leaders can guide their leaders in creating natural “hubs” that result in high-performing teams.
