The Unified Team Philosophy

The Unified Team

Most leadership is remedial.

For me, a Leader has three key roles...

1. To articulate the vision of what the collective is going to achieve.

2. Agreeing the strategic direction that everyone's going to follow.

3. Carrying the group along and ensuring the values of the beliefs of what it means to be part of the group are upheld.

The problem is that much of management is about picking up the pieces.

When communication has failed. When there's conflict. Or when people are struggling.

We put an enormous amount of pressure on leaders to be superhuman.

And then we're surprised when we see so much 'bad leadership'. The problem isn't the person. The problem is we set the bar too high.

What if instead of asking one individual to lift the group, we raised the team?

What if the team managed their own relationships. Kept communication flowing. And worked collectively.

This is what I call a Leader Ready team.

Ready to lead. Ready to be led. A team bonded in purpose.

Today is a different podcast episode.

I wanted to share the philosophy behind The Unified Team Podcast.
