A Leadership Journey

I've come to realize that I'm not quite the leader that I thought I was. I say this because I am currently a part of two very dysfunctional teams within a company that I've been with for almost 10 years & despite ongoing efforts, I can't seem to facilitate the positive change necessary to jump start this amazing microbrewery concept.

With that having been said, I AM A LEADER, and therefore I will do what every successful leader before me has done...I will press on, continue to learn, keep an open mind to fresh ideas, & collaborate with other like-minded leaders in order to find the ever elusive formula necessary to triumph over this particular challenge!

One tool that I've found to help me out with this endeavor is Patrick Lencioni's book , The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. After all, if you're not reading...you're not leading! 

Over the next several weeks, I will be attempting to put into play the valuable lessons & information that I was able to gather while reading this book.

I feel that Lencioni's model for identifying the (5) dysfunctions of most teams gets right to the core of the matter & addresses key issues that are usually hard for groups to identify themselves.

So, what's next?!?!         APPLICATION!!!

I purchased a total of nine books as Christmas gifts for the entire Brewzzi Management Team!

THE PURPOSE...To get everyone of us on the same page and functioning as a team.

THE END GOAL (THE WIN)...A management team that is dedicated towards achieving results & capable of replicating the success we encountered during this process to the teams that we ourselves lead.

I hope you will become an active participant during this journey. There are a few different ways you can do that:

1) Feel free to comment on this post & the ones to follow.

2) Read the book!!! Then share your own discoveries with me in your comments.

3) Visit me at Brewzzi Restaurant located @ CityPlace in West Palm Beach, Florida to see the results for yourself & strike up a conversation with me.

I look forward to sharing this journey with all of you!
Here's to "Making Life Happen"!!!
