In ways we’ve never experienced, leaders and teams are adapting to change with no playbook.
From essential businesses having to ramp up to emergency-level responsiveness to all the industries required to shut down with little warning or preparation, everyone has moved to problem-solving mode under extreme pressure. Our Team Clock consultants at the Center for Team Excellence are seeing the best and the worst in leaders.
I’m excited to introduce Wes Becton, Michelle Sherbun, Monica Kerber and Jeremy Schreifels to the conversation. They, along with our team of consultants, have been caring for the people who take care of the people. They are seeing what works and what doesn’t.
