Recontract and reboot your business in a remote/hybrid world

- This is a unique time. In a time of inflection, in a time of change, when people are using remote work in ways that they've never used it before, let's not waste this opportunity. Let's not only learn how to be remote and virtual better, but let's learn how to be a better team in the process. I want you to learn the attributes of a high-performing team so that you don't go back to work, but instead you go forward to work. Five years forward to work. Being an extraordinary team like you've never been before. Allow me to go over the eight critical attributes of a high-performing team. Where is your team? On number one, candor. How clear and how candid and how courageous and how bold is your team in a room with each other? Collaboration. Is your team capable of coming into a room, wrestling critical issues, and in fact, do they demand it? Are they constantly looking to come to the team for collaboration or are they just plugging their work into a team? Teaming out. Who do you think of as your team? Are you using the fact that you're virtual as an opportunity to be significantly more inclusive, significantly more open and inviting critical members in to breakthrough in ideas, but also make sure that those individuals who are going to be present for the execution or implementation of ideas are a part of creating it. Accountability. We're going to shift accountability from being all accountable to the leader, hub and spoke to an individual at the center, to the team being accountable to each other. Is that your team? Development. Is every member of your team deeply committed to go higher as an individual, but more importantly, are they actually committed to take each other higher, giving each other that kind of coaching and elevating each other's competencies and performance? Energy. Is your team committed to each other's resilience, to each other's energy and lifting each other up, celebrating each other? That's a critical team. Relationships. How much does your team care about each other? How much is your team committed to each other? Is it a team bonded to each other that deeply cares? And finally, outcomes. Is your team committed to high-performing outcomes, transformational outcomes, going 10 X, not just 10%? The most important takeaway is that a great team is not leader-centric. A great team is a group of individuals working together. The word I use is actually co-elevate. Co-elevation occurs when a team is jointly aligned and committed to a shared mission, but also committed to each other. It's one thing for a team to be aligned against a similar set of goals, as individuals showing up and performing. But if they're co-elevating, that team is leaning in, 20% of their head is focused on each other's success, not just their own. And as a result, we have more innovation, we have more feedback and we absolutely have less risk. A co-elevating team is a team committed to the mission and each other.
