In this solocast I talk about relationship building and the factors that go into a high performing team. Relationship building is important in driving performance rankings, but it is not the top factor. Other capabilities such as taking initiative, displaying integrity, inspiring others, and driving for results have a greater influence on performance rankings.The number one factor is the ability to establish stretch goals. Building relationships is still important, but these other skills should be prioritized.This episode was sponsored by NZ Mortgages.

In this solocast, I talk about the five tactics of high-performing teams based on research from Gallup. The first tactic is having a common purpose, where everyone in the team knows the shared vision and strategy. The second tactic is connection, which involves creating a sense of belonging and maintaining strong relationships within the team. The third tactic is communication, emphasizing the importance of simple, accurate, and succinct communication that is individualized. The fourth tactic is collaboration, which allows for creativity and growth. The final tactic is celebration, where micro and macro wins are acknowledged and rewarded.Let me know if this is something you’re interested in.On my channel, I aim to bring you world-class guests and create epic videos to help you level up your leadership and personal mastery.If you could take the time to subscribe, that would help my channel grow and it would mean you wouldn’t miss an episode.
