5 Disciplines that distinguish high performing teams with Bernard Desmidt

In this robust and interesting podcast, team coach and leadership expert Bernard Desmidt, introduces the 5 Disciplines that distinguish high performing teams and shares what it takes for teams to transition to flourish and achieve the most impactful results.

Bernard kicks off the conversation with the 80:60:20 Paradox - Why is it that 80% of leaders claim to spend 60% of their time in teams, yet only 20% of teams are high performing, collaborative teams?

He takes the confusion out of what we mean by collaboration, 'we can’t see what we can’t distinguish' and draws a dominant distinction between a team that functions and is cohesive versus a team that is collaborative and flourishes - a subtle but significant one and the 3 key elements that determine that distinction... 'Collaboration dances with conflict'.

Stephanie and Bernard explore the culture of a flourishing team and what to look for and then finish off with the 3 steps for leaders to get started on the journey to a high performance team.
