Challenges

  • New Team, Fractured Alignment:  Low trust and misalignment within a newly formed team were hindering effective communication and collaboration, making it challenging to build a cohesive unit.
  • Leadership Skill Gaps: Variability in leadership skills and training across the team created challenges in making strategic decisions and managing workloads effectively.
  • Role Ambiguity: A lack of clarity around roles, responsibilities, and decision-making processes was leading to inefficiencies and productivity issues.

  • Build a Coaching Culture: Equip leaders with coaching tools to deepen trust, strengthen communication, and enhance collaboration.
  • Drive Accountability and Clarity: Establish clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and decision-making frameworks to boost productivity and ownership of team objectives.
