I am deeply honored to have had the opportunity to visit the newly opened people development hub of a global professional services company in Beijing and facilitate a session with an incredible group of senior leaders, including the Heads of Regions, Services, and Countries from Australia, China, Japan, Korea, and more. Our discussion focused on enhancing trust and fostering cross-team collaboration at a regional level, and I was truly inspired by their engagement, openness, and wisdom.
Several key insights emerged from our dialogue, which are valuable for any leader looking to build high-performing teams:
- Establish Alignment on What "Winning" Looks Like: Defining what success entails is the bedrock of effective teamwork.
- Build Trust: Trust is cultivated through understanding different working styles and having the courage to be vulnerable with one another.
- Establish Clear Working Protocols: It is essential to have clear protocols in place, such as recognizing that silence does not necessarily indicate agreement.
I was genuinely impressed by the level of engagement among the leaders throughout the training workshop. Their humility, curiosity, and willingness to share experiences and perspectives created a rich and meaningful dialogue.
This experience reinforced my belief that the best leaders remain open and approachable, regardless of their level of seniority. It is truly inspiring to work with such high-caliber professionals.
