World-Class Leadership at the 2019 Global Leadership Summit

Enterprise Solutions Architect

        Earlier this year I switched to a different group at Xerox and was struck by how different the pace and  culture of the new team was, compared to my previous group. Despite a steep learning curve, seemingly impossible deadlines, and a global team operating in different time zones, I observed  teammates having a greater ability to help and support. When I asked them about it, they attributed it to trust and           relationships. 

I was reminded of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, by Patrick Lencioni. I read it again, and was amazed at how on-point it still is, almost two decades since it’s original release in 2002, highlighting trust and vulnerability as the top two things to work on, when building a strong team. 

Patrick Lencioni will be one of the speakers at this year’s Global Leadership Summit!

He will unpack his new work on motivation and how it shapes our leadership.
      I have recently started reading one of Patrick’s  other books “The Ideal Team Player,” which is also going to be   available at the Summit’s Resource  Center.
      2019 is my third year as a Resource Coordinator and a member of the planning committee for the Global Leadership Summit hosted by The LightHeart Institute. I’m looking forward to the high quality content sharing and to meeting my fellow community leaders.
