Description

Not every group of people reporting to the same person should be treated as a single team.  In this episode of The Leader’s Kitbag, I share a personal story that highlights what happens when we force people into team structures that don’t reflect how they actually work together.  It’s a real-world example of what I talked about in the previous episode: if your people don’t share goals, aren’t interdependent, and don’t hold each other accountable, they’re not a team - and you need to lead them differently.  In this episode, you’ll learn: Why cramming non-teams into team routines wastes time How to structure meetings for different types of groups A better way to connect people without forcing false collaboration  Get Leadership Tools Straight to Your Inbox   If you want more straight-talking, practical content on leadership, communication, and team development, delivered in a relaxed, real-world way, then join my community via the newsletter here.  It’s free, useful, and designed for busy leaders who want to cut through the noise.
