A Leadership Problem
We all know the sayings – Teamwork makes the dreamwork. We can accomplish more with we than we can me. There is no “I” in “Team”. We get it! I do not know a leader who does not agree with axioms and wants to build a high-performing team around him or her. But executing on that desire is where the challenge lies.
A Leadership Solution
Few people understand the process of building a high-performing team more than Shawn Lovejoy. Shawn has been a successful real estate developer, a church planter, megachurch pastor, and a CEO of a fast-growing coaching and consulting organization. I have personally benefited from Shawn’s wisdom and insight. He recently released a book and coaching course entitled Building a Killer Team: Without Killing Yourself Or Your Team.
Both the book and course are must-haves for you and your leadership teams. To invest in your leadership and give you a preview, I’ve included 25 lessons from the book below. But you need to get the course as well. Click the images or links below to learn more and get the course. It may be the best investment you make in yourself and your leadership team all year.
