We join leaders' intuitive abilities with a framework and a process they can follow and repeat and really make it their own." Chief, in today's Minisode I run you through the High Performance Teams framework that is behind the Chief Maker MiniMBA Program we run every quarter for executives and other aspiring senior leaders. Recently, in Episode 385, I spoke about the I AM GREAT method , which I believe is crucial to implement if you desire to lead a high-performing team. Today, I walk you through the 5 pillars of the HPT framework so that you get a clear understanding of what separates good teams from great ones. 🎧👉 chiefmaker.com/387 👂 EQUIP YOUR MIDDLE MANAGERS AND SENIOR LEADERS WITH THE TOOLS TO DRIVE CHANGE AND RESULTS.
