14. Nurturing High-Performance Leadership Teams

In this episode we unpack the topic of: Nurturing High-Performance Leadership Teams. Our special guest is Becca Sweetman, a leadership team coach who has worked across leading VC backed organisations like Kano, MOO and Babylon Health. We discuss the following: 

• What is a high performing team? How do you achieve it? 
• What is the PERILL framework and why is that a good one to use? 
• How do you do an audit of leadership team performance? 
• How do you work through areas of tension between two leadership team members? 
• How can psychometric or behavioral analysis tools help in understanding team members' preferences and work styles?
• With limited time for leadership to “gel” in a scale-up, how do you accelerate that process?
• What is your view on the PERILL and Lencioni approaches to team performance? Which approach do you think would be more effective in a startup environment? 
• Can you share any strategies or techniques that can foster a safe and productive environment for team discussions?
•
