Are you or your teams experiencing difficulty with timely decision-making?
Is your organisation experiencing resistance to leadership and management decisions?
Does it feel like team members work against each other instead of with each other?
It is clear there is unresolved tension?
Are some of your partners or clients disengaged or struggling to find a way to work with you?
Are excuses, gossip, cliques, or postponement common roadblocks to effectively collaborating?
The same topics keep getting discussed in circular conversations?
There are a few people who generate all the ideas or action, without much engagement from others?
Do you want your team, organisation, or clients to:
Retain valuable people?
Appropriately address elephants in the room that are blocking progress?
