Building Teams with TEAMES & CO

Last Thursday was DisruptHR New Orleans., The theme of the night was the Future of Work, and there were 10 thought provoking presentations. Among them was our CEO, Tracy Eames. This week, she shares her experience presenting, enjoying the event, and simply loving the city for a few days. Tracy’s presentation was “Redefining Leadership: Soft Skill or Strategic Imperative”. A brief summary would be - Let's face the truth together: leadership is anything but soft. It is quantifiable and directly influences your company's bottom line. So why do we often dismiss it as a soft skill? Because tackling the complexities of leadership is daunting, and it's easier to brush it aside. When leadership is undervalued, organizations miss out on achieving goals, struggle with high turnover rates, and face a lack of employee engagement—a costly combination. But what if we shift our perspective on leadership? What if we empowered leaders in a new way? We will reframe leadership and discuss how leaders can unlock growth, foster effective teams, and cultivate a winning organizational culture. Don't miss out on this opportunity to revolutionize your approach to leadership and drive tangible results for your company.

Today we are sharing a behind the scenes look at a trip we took last week with the Asheville Chamber of Commerce. Each year our Chamber hosts a trip to a host city to support learning, exchange of ideas, and best practice sharing. This year I enjoyed a wonderful two days in the city of Charleston, South Carolina, where I was able to sit in on various panel discussions, learn about the King Street Business Improvement District (BID), and explore the city of Charleston with fellow leaders from Asheville.

In this week’s episode, Tracy Eames, CEO of TEAMES & CO is talking about optimizing your strategic planning process. Do you ever feel like you are always strategic planning? You start in August, and you have customer discovery, stakeholder surveys, data reporting, program/product assessments as you start creating forecasts for what next year could look like. And that usually ends up being a 200 tab Excel file, right. There is the forecast and the reforecast and the re-reforecast and so on down the line. And this takes a lot of time, right? It usually takes most of our Q3 and a lot of our Q4 because we sit in meeting rooms, especially the senior leadership. The worst part is that if you are setting strategy in Q3 & Q4, it means you are not setting goals until midway through Q1, and you are already behind the ball. How are teams expected to execute on the annual plan if they do not have goals until March. Today we talk about how you can streamline this process and help your teams be set up for success at the beginning of the year.
