The Ideal Manager/Team Relationship
LIVE Event + Recording & PDF
Why do I do these?
I wanted to share my core motivation behind these sessions. I believe it matters. And I believe it is very unique.
I do everything I do because I want to help great people get ahead and learn the rarest and most potent skills to do so.
Your life is on a branch of the multiverse. I want your life (and career) to be on the highest branch possible, filled with more opportunities, success, and quality of life.
The Relationship That Unlocks a Team's Best Work
Read Monday's free post.
Every manager gets told the same things. Don't get too close to your team. You aren't friends. Keep it professional.
And every manager who follows that advice ends up with a team doing a fraction of their best work.
Here's what almost nobody sees: the single biggest driver of how hard someone thinks, how well they collaborate, and how fast they grow isn't pay, incentives, or pressure. It's one relationship. Theirs with you.
In this session, I'm going to show you exactly how that relationship works. Not made-up theory, but the actual mechanics of why a team does its best work for some leaders and withholds it from others. The brain processes people and impact with circuitry that goals and task lists never touch. Great leaders activate that circuitry on purpose. I'll show you how.
What you'll learn
The three default relationships every organization pushes managers into: Professional, Protector, and Ambitious...and why none of them produce a team's best work
The two forces that override the defaults: shared purpose and obligation, and exactly how to activate each one
How to surface who your team's work actually matters to...the move that changes how people execute
How to build the kind of relationship where tough conversations are easy and feedback actually works
How to make these relationships spread through your team and organization, not just from you
