[TRANSCRIPT] Change should actually be the middle name of every business. In his latest book, Playing To Win, A.G.’s Lafley talks about the five things that every leader should do to execute strategy and get the company to win. And, ultimately, all five come down to change. The companies that don’t change will go the way of the dinosaurs. No one really agrees on what happened to the dinosaurs; however everyone agrees they are dead. And it has something to do with their inability to change. Think about companies like Motorola, Kodak, Palm, Saab, Atari, Myspace, and Borders. What do they have in common? They are either in steep decline or demise because of their inability to stay relevant, to be flexible, and to change. At some level, even though it’s not always fun, we should be glad and relieved when our organizations change. If you work at an organization that doesn’t change, you should be very afraid.

In this video, I talk about the importance of change.
 
Teamwork is the core foundation of your organization. When you can help your team members become more productive, cohesive, and synergistic, you’ll create an unstoppable force that can take your company anywhere you want to go. Laura Stack’s T-E-A-M model will help facilitate this shift. We must all work together to keep from wasting each other’s collective time.

Laura can help your leaders create and maintain the kind of environment that fosters team success for the long haul. If time allows, the team will generate its own code of conduct to guide future relationships and behavior. Through fun team-building activities, they will leave with increased cohesiveness, cooperation, and trust. Great for all-hands and department meetings!
