While so many leaders limit their search for an advantage to conventional and largely exhausted areas like marketing, strategy and technology, Lencioni demonstrates that there is an untapped gold mine sitting right beneath them. Instead of trying to become smarter, he asserts that leaders and organizations need to shift their focus to becoming healthier, allowing them to tap into the more-than-sufficient intelligence and expertise they already have. A healthy organization is characterized by one that has minimal politics and confusion, high degrees of morale and productivity, and very low turnover among good employees. Drawing on his twenty year experience consulting to some of the world's leading teams and reaffirming many of the themes cultivated in his other best-selling books, Lencioni will reveal the four actionable steps to achieving long-term, sustainable success with special concentration on teamwork and collaboration. Learning Points for Participants Lencioni will share his passion for organizational health and illustrate why it is the last enduring competitive advantage available in business today. Using his humor and storytelling skills, he will share real life examples of a handful of companies that have mastered this process and are thriving in spite of challenging market conditions. Next, Lencioni will present a thorough overview of each of the four disciplines. He will focus on the following key areas while providing you with practical advice and solutions: Developing a culture of teamwork and trust Fostering productive conflict and peer accountability Ensuring a steadfast commitment to the collective results of your team Creating clarity and alignment in your organization.
