Learn how to foster sustainable team-based leadership with a simple 5-part framework that increases productivity, inspires trust, and reinforces shared goals across a diverse array of teams.

With the demise of command-and-control leadership, what does leadership look like in the era of virtual teams and flat organizations? The answer is “teaming”. In Teaming is the New Leading, readers are introduced to the 5 Conversations framework which give teams clarity and help them thrive together.

The 5 Conversations are:
  1. Powering Up—This conversation is designed to ensure that teams have the resources and support they need to be successful.
  2. Committing and Recommitting—By making and keeping promises to teammates, other teams, and customers, teams can ensure psychological safety among members.
  3. Dealing with Drama—This conversation is designed to help teams navigate through conflict, when needed, and repair relationships when distrust, drama, and breaks in commitment happen.
  4. Learning to Innovate—Through gaining new knowledge while executing projects and initiatives, teams will motivate growth and greater success.
  5. Teaming with Teams—This conversation cultivates healthy team dynamics through framing the “voice of the customer” as a north star within the team.
Drawing heavily on the insight of Amy Edmondson, bestselling author Ken Jennings and coauthor Mike McCormick have created a practical and actionable framework that teams can start using immediately to increase productivity and commitment.
