I coach and consult to leaders and teams using exclusive tools and training from The Table Group, A Patrick Lencioni Company, that has helped pioneer the field of organizational health. For a company to be successful it needs to be good at two things: it needs to be Smart and it needs to be Healthy. Smart is strategy, technology, marketing and finance. It is the decision sciences, and as important as that is, it is only half the equation and yet receives most of the attention of management teams. The other half, Healthy, is when an organization has minimal politics and confusion, high morale and productively and low turnover. Healthy organizations outcompete their smart counterparts because they learn from their mistakes, react quicker to opportunities and teach their teams to do the same. In short, teams that are healthy have a real and lasting competitive advantage over companies that just focus on the smart part. It starts with clarity - getting clear and aligned around direction and priorities, and improving culture by focusing on how employees are managed, communicated to and how they run meetings. This is not soft, or touchy-feely, but fast, practical and relevant. When team dynamics and alignment improve, real change takes a matter of days and weeks. Organizations get healthy, and teams get more done in less time, with results that flow right to the bottom-line.
