Reboot to Team 2.0

Top ten reasons to say"NO" to Reboot to team 2.0

1. My projects effortlessly complete on schedule and in budget every time.
2. Every team I’ve ever been on has shared vision.
3. In meetings, we only ever do what will get results.
4. No one here blames “management”, or anyone else, if they don’t get what they want.
5. Everybody here shares their best ideas right away.
6. Ideas are immediately unanimously approved, improved, or rejected by the team.
7. Action on approved ideas begins immediately.
8. If we avoid conflict it goes away.
9. I do everything myself. I don’t need to work with others and I have no customers.
10.I prefer crisis, inefficiency, and unresolved conflict – it gives me something to talk about over dinner.

"This was the most useful and life-changing training I've ever attended."
Pascal Van Cauwenberghe

We still have for 4 to 10 places to join the camp in February
