Episode Description from the Publisher

One of the most frustrating things for a manager is that their team's not performing, and they don't know what to do about it. The pressure starts mounting more and more. They start to doubt themselves, and things get worse and worse for everybody involved. The solution is to evaluate your team on these five pillars and then put in a strategy to solve it. In this episode you'll learn;- The five pillars that separate high-performing teams from the ones stuck firefighting, and the one score you'll walk away with that tells you exactly where to focus first- Why hiring your way out of a broken culture never works, and what actually happens when you throw a new headcount at a team with no clear expectations- The real cost of keeping a B-minus player on an A-player team, and why it’s causing your best people to check out or leave- What separates a leader who manages from one who actually leads, and why AI is about to make that gap the only thing that matters- How to build a culture that runs on its own momentum instead of one you have to hold together by sheer will every single day Scorecard Download: https://rmichaelanderson.com/teams-scorecard YOUR CHALLENGE:This week, score your team honestly across the five pillars, culture, purpose and vision, team makeup, engagement, and leadership, and identify the one pillar that's actually holding you back…because here's the thing, it's usually not the one you've been working on.Questions on this episode?Ask me in the Leadership Mindset 2.0 community on:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8944058/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/leadershipmindsetgroupDoors are open for the Team Performance Accelerator, Michael's three month live programme on building a team that takes ownership without you standing over it.
