Clients often wonder why so much time is spent with the teams of people in an organization rather than the leader. We have found that talking to the team reveals a lot of information about their leader.

A large percentage of the time team members are confused about the vision of the company as well as the direction they are trying to go. Generally teams understand that the goal is to increase business, to improve processes and maintain a healthy bottom-line but have no map on how to get there or what role they must play. Working hard does not necessarily increase capabilities. The team must be on the same page and understand what steps must be taken to get to the goal with time-lines to keep everyone in check. These pieces are tougher to build and must be planned in advance so that everyone is working efficiently together.

Some questions to consider asking your team:

• Do you feel like the entire team is on the same page?

• Are you clear about your role in the company’s plan or are you confused?

• What do you feel is the next big hurdle?
