How can leaders create a strong and high-performing team? Andrea reflects on his decades of experience as a leader as well as the things he has learned from others in this episode. He outlines the 5 key lessons he has learnt to help build a team that is innovative, solution-focused and supported.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Every session and communication you have with a team is an opportunity to learn from them.
• Don’t underestimate your team’s creativity and solutions just because they have performed poorly in the past.
• Diversity is essential in teams, particularly around skillset and experience.
• We can unconsciously create a culture where a team ‘plays it safe’ instead of taking risks and being dynamic.
• Better performance comes from teams recognising and being given permission to continue learning.
• If your team feels supported and valued then they will perform at their best.

BEST MOMENTS

"When your past team performance isn’t great you tend to underestimate the people’s abilities to come up with new and creative solutions”

“When teams are given the freedom to experiment and fail they are really more likely to become out with new and innovative solutions”

“Every single action, every single behaviour, every single mindset is created around learning”
