Ralph van Roosmalen - The Art of Teams

Teams are the basic building block of business organizations. Sixty-eight percent of the Fortune 1000 companies are using teams that can manage themselves. Research suggests that shifting toward a team-based organizational model improves performance, often significantly. However, many organizations struggle with team performance. Teams don’t deliver the expected value, don’t meet deadlines, underperform, are disengaged, or require extensive management.

There are many theories about successful teams. There is also a lot of academic research available. What if you would combine this all, using also real-life experiences? During this interview, connected to the book Art of Teams, Ralph will share six components that all successful teams have in common: 1. Achieve Clarity 2. Understand Their Impact 3. Trust One Another 4. Engage in Conflicts 5. Act Reliable 6. Care about Results

Not just the theory but also practices and tools that relate to the component. It is easy to say you need to engage in conflicts, but how do you successfully engage in conflicts? Ralph will also connect existing practices in a refreshing way to one of the six components but also introduce some new practices.

A pragmatic interview, that will give you insights and tools that you can apply the next when you are back with your team!
