Sometimes, understanding the root of your team’s dysfunction is the only way to help them actually function. This week, Jacob dives into the topic of building a cohesive team and incentivizing team success over individual success.  Why is trust the one central element to building a strong, cohesive team? Jacob emphasizes the importance of leaders demonstrating trustworthiness through their actions and explains why conflict resolution and accountability are explored as key components in fostering a healthy team dynamic.  He also shares a framework called SAO (Situation, Action, Outcome), revealing how it can be used to reward behaviors that contribute to the team's success. Plus, don’t forget to check out the book "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team" by Patrick Lencioni as a valuable resource for leaders looking to improve team cohesion.    00:00:00 - Building a Cohesive Team for Success 00:01:42 - Addressing the Five Dysfunctions of a Team 00:05:55 - The Invaluable Book on Team Dysfunction 00:06:53 - Building Trust and Accountability in Teams 00:07:58 - Building Trust and Handling Mistakes 00:17:21 - Incentivizing Team Success Over Individual Success   Follow Jacob: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jakeespi/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/MrJacobEspi   Ready to unlock the secret to developing a healthy, happy, and more profitable team?
