The Leading Edge Teams Approach
Do you need better KPIs, metrics, and dashboards? Sure you do. But they'll only be effective if your team knows how to work together. Business systems and people systems must be fully integrated. Here's what it looks like.
People are the problem.
And people are the solution. Â
 ONE CRITICAL CHANGE CAN TURN OBSTACLES INTO ONRAMPS.
Working with people can be a messy, frustrating, and confusing ordeal. We need their creativity, critical thinking skills, and ingenuity to craft solutions that scale successfully. But emotional reactivity and interpersonal struggles often get in the way, tanking the company's ambitions — and everyone's professional hopes along with them.
The Leading Edge Teams approach addresses the self-protective tendencies that hinder your team's abilities. It turns obstacles into onramps by giving people the tools to govern their responses and make better choices. These choices will accelerate each team member's professional growth... and your organization's collective success.Â
"The Business Part": Creating Systems that Work
Creating a strategic plan for your business sounds straightforward. You may have ambitious goals and a clear vision already in place. However, the reality of running a business requires pivoting, adaptation, and flexibility from your team. Not only do you need a plan that can be modified, but you need a structure that allows for changes to filter down from the highest level to the lowest, so that objectives are still met on a regular basis.
When we work with you on "The Business Part," we'll talk about what it really looks like to create this dynamic strategic plan and how to break it down into manageable parts. We'll discuss how to get your team on board and set up a structure for success that accommodates both your big goals and the internal and external realities that you face as you run your company.
"The People Part": Harnessing the Power of Your Team
At Leading Edge Teams, we continuously observe how people interact and function. In our experience, we’ve never met a company that didn’t have at least a few disaster stories in which people’s behavior was the root problem. It’s a biological fact that as human beings, we’re emotional, reactive, messy, and fallible. We are much less often in conscious control of our thoughts and behavior than we like to think.
Handling "The People Part" includes learning how to activate team drive and unity, skills and dedication, in unison with critical thinking and innovation, to perform confidently together to move forward — to achieve both daily goals and long-term outcomes.
Bringing It All TogetherÂ
 Bringing together "The Business Part" and "The People Part" is the recipe for winning over the long term — reaching those big goals and increasing team satisfaction along the way.Â
We'll create consistency in your annual planning, improving the overall structure and role setup of your organization, and use concepts like Self-Leadership, ACE Agreements, reversing the micro-management cycle ("managing up") and improving the culture of your company by putting your vision and values into action.
We offer a few different opportunities to provide you with both training and implementation support, including private consulting, workshops & off-sites, speaking engagements, and a leadership program. Simply pick the one that best fits your company, and we'll tailor our approach to meet your needs!
