The Five Dysfunctions of a Team

THE FIVE DYSFUNCTIONS OF A TEAM gives you the framework for understanding how and why companies get really messed up, and what you as a leader can do to build a great work culture.   I am usually called in to revive a leader, or his/her team as a last resort.  Kind of like marriage counseling is to couples, they don’t get help until it’s almost too late.

If you want to expedite your leadership learning curve,  save thousands of dollars in consulting and coaching fees, then learn this material.  Then, call me to do a fun team building retreat, or a strategic plan instead of conflict resolution.  But if you’re already in the trenches with your employees firing at you from the enemy line, I do love a challenge.  Do know that if I can learn leadership principles that can turn an organization around, anyone can!  It’s not an accident you’re where you are, and it’s not failure to get the coaching you need before it’s urgent!  Enjoy the video . . .

How my Leadership Ladder was Climbed I

Part I

Why is this blog called “Confessions of an Accidental Leader”?  It’s because I myself never set out to “BE” a leader, or to be “LEADING” leaders.  It was a natural progression of my interests, passion, and personality 30 years ago.  It began when a friend shared that if you read 7 books on any one given subject, that you would be considered an expert in that field.  While recuperating from surgery, I attempted just such a feat by consuming anything I could get my hands on regarding the behavioral styles method called DISC.  From there, for fun and personal enjoyment I began sharing the information informally with groups.  People found it instantaneously fascinating, and particularly helpful, so I was soon asked by friends and their husbands to conduct workshop for their office staff and employees.  What started as a hobby, launched me into the arena of entrepreneurship,  consulting, coaching, training on team-building, conflict resolution, communication and ultimately leading.  I’ve since become certified in a myriad of applicable competencies see: www.dpdwebsite for more information on my journey.
