If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

Imagine the Chicago Bulls without Phil Jackson.  They would still be a good team.  A very, very good team.  But would they have been great?  Six NBA championships great? Probably not.  Assembling a group of talented individuals is only the first step on a long journey to forging a world class team.

Working with Mark, you will find answers to questions such as:

• How do you meld a bunch of talented individual contributors into a collaborative team dedicated to a collective goal?

• How do you decide who decides?  Is one person charged with making the final decisions? Or are decisions made by consensus?  Is the same method used for all decisions, or does it depend on the subject under discussion?

• How are goals and expectations set?  And how are team members held accountable for meeting these goals and satisfying these expectations?

•  How do you establish a culture that is safe for feedback and constructive criticism?

• How do you have those difficult conversations with low performers?

• How do you insure that each member has a positive impact on the team?  And that the team has a positive impact on the world? 

• How do you manage “cross-border” communication in multicultural teams?
