Stefan Lindegaard
I help sharpen your leadership approach, build high-performance teams and enhance corporate innovation through new, original tools like Team Dynamics Cards and the Gap Map Overview.
As part of developing a blueprint for building high-performance teams (see the link to the recent post on this in the comments), I dive into the topic of Training and Resources for High-Performance Leadership.
This element helps you reflect on and navigate the wide array of educational materials and professional development opportunities available to enhance your leadership in the realms of trust, psychological safety, team empowerment, and effective collaboration.
Here are some ideas and inspiration for this journey:
1. Study key literature and case studies on successful high-performance teams to grasp foundational principles.
2. Attend leadership training and workshops focused specifically on building and managing high-performance teams.
3. Use 360-degree feedback tools to identify personal leadership strengths and areas for improvement.
4. Engage with a mentor or coach who has experience in leading high-performance teams to refine your leadership skills.
5. Maintain a leadership journal, noting what strategies work, your reactions to stress, and how you handle team dynamics.
To further dive into key literature, here are some great resources that can help you on your journey in understanding and building high-performance teams:
