Shaping Change Inner Circle - July 2015
Welcome to the July Inner Circle!
If you haven’t joined the Facebook Group yet, you can find it here. It’s a closed group so only the members will see discussions and comments.
The topic for this month is creating accountability in your team.
We are continuing our learning series on the Patrick Lencioni 5 Dysfunctions of a Team model. In April we looked at trust, in May we covered constructive conflict in teams, in June it was building positive commitment in your team. This month we are looking at the importance of team accountability, and how to best create it.
If you haven’t completed the previous month’s activities, I’d encourage you to do those first. The model works as a pyramid, building strong foundations as we move up.
