HOW TO CREATE AN EXCEPTIONAL TEAM CULTURE - RAPID TEAMWORK MASTERCLASS PROGRAM

Welcome to the final introductory video on how to fix your broken team culture. Today you're going to learn about a solution to help you lead a more positive and productive team and build an exceptional team culture. Hi, I'm Sean Glaze, and after working with hundreds of teams and thousands of team leaders, I've put together a comprehensive step-by-step system that you can follow to build exceptional team cultures. In this video, I'm going to share with you exactly what a MasterClass in team culture looks like. But first, just in case you missed them, I want to invite you to catch up by watching the previous videos. They share very important ideas you'll need to understand to take advantage of the program we'll be discussing, and they'll help you overcome the challenges that you face as a team leader. Video 1 explains why strategy is not your priority. Video 2 identifies the 3 common traps that great team leaders want to avoid. And Video 3 describes 5 fixable reasons that teams will underachieve. Like hundreds of other leaders I've worked with, you need to create an environment where good people can thrive and know why they're there, know who they're there with, know what's expected, know how their actions impact and influence others, and know that they are appreciated for their contributions. And once you understand the issues that all teams experience, from goals to relationships to expectations to accountability to thanks and recognition, you can appreciate the comprehensive masterclass system that I've put together to help leaders like you build your own exceptional team culture. And as a team leader, you're here because you know that talent alone doesn't determine your success. Talent is essential, but it's never sufficient. And sometimes even good leaders neglect one or more of the important areas that team culture demands. Sometimes leaders focus on goals, some are great with responsibilities, some do a fantastic job with feedback, some really enjoy giving recognition, and some are great at clarifying expectations and standards. The issue is that sometimes leaders neglect one part of the system, and that first step towards failure is neglect. See, just like you can't leave out an important ingredient in a delicious recipe, you have to have each of these in sequence correctly in order to have an effective, high-performing culture. So if you're honest with yourself, as hard as you work, is there an area in those 5 that maybe you've neglected? Or that isn't your strong suit. One of those ingredients that maybe your team is presently missing. Because as I said, you can certainly work hard, but there's a huge difference between hard work and teamwork. And if your team is underachieving, it's likely not because of your lack of effort. It's probably because you lack a step-by-step recipe for success. So we've gone from unaware symptom aware to now recognizing that maybe there is a problem, but then recognizing the importance of finding a solution. You're watching this video because you have had to deal with one or more symptoms of a broken team culture, and maybe you recognize problems. But once you know that the problem exists, great leaders take the time to find and implement a solution. I learned a long time ago as a coach that my lack of awareness of solutions, my neglect of a few problems, kept my teams from winning basketball games. I searched for and experimented with culture-building ideas for years to find the right things to focus on, the right activities to implement, the right sequence. But along the way, all it cost me was a few games. The reality is that high school losses may put a frown on my face for a few days, but for you, a failing culture can be far more expensive. The stakes with your team are much higher than mine were as a coach. Your ability to build and sustain a healthy team culture could be affecting more than just emotions. It could be affecting your profits. With diminished performance and productivity, it could be affecting your people. With turnover or toxic interactions, it could be affecting your next promotion with questions about your leadership ability. But imagine if instead of wandering in the dark trying to follow a frustrating trail through unfamiliar territory, imagine if you had a map and a guide to help you accelerate your speed and shorten your path. What would that convenience and confidence be worth to you? Imagine having a more positive, productive, and profitable team culture in just 12 weeks. It's not just possible, It's proven, and you can learn how. The results your team is getting now are always a symptom of your behavior and your leadership, but often you just don't know what you aren't doing, and that has huge implications, which is why I put together the Rapid Teamwork Masterclass. This is a complete step-by-step system built for you as a smart team leader to help you transform your group into a great team. The Rapid Teamwork Masterclass is a leveraged coaching program, not just an online course. Yeah, you'll get video lessons and tools and activities and downloadable resources that walk you through each step from laying a foundation to maintaining the culture that you've created over time. But more importantly, along with those lessons and the resources I'll share, I'll be providing one-on-one milestone mentoring phone calls to help you along your journey. So what's included specifically? I'm glad you asked. To help you implement the ideas, we'll dive into 7 specific units so that you have the tools and the confidence to implement what your team needs and to create the culture you want. Module 1 includes the Rapid Teamwork Model and video lessons on how to navigate the course, how to prepare yourself to lead your team through change, how to plan out the process and sequence of implementation, based on your specific circumstances. It will give you tips and tools for doing things that may feel uncomfortable, that maybe you haven't done before, so that you can create an exceptional team culture. Module 2 begins with how to establish goals and to ensure your people have a shared purpose. You'll be able to walk your team through step-by-step, word-by-word instructions with downloads to help you establish a vision and a mission, to clarify team values, to know what to say and what to focus on in the those one-on-one conversations after you identify goals with your team. The next part of the sequence is Module 3, where you'll build quality team relationships. We'll make sure that you know how to connect with your team. You'll get activities to build camaraderie and connections. You'll learn how to inspire appreciation of different team personality types and how to interact with them more successfully as coworkers and clients. And finally, you'll discover how to build and strengthen trust quickly. The next module focuses on expectations, and it will give you the tools you need to walk your team through establishing agreements and standards for daily interactions. You'll learn how to use if-thens and pre-mortems to identify how you're going to overcome issues that your team will face. You'll define the tools and routines you're going to use for digital communications and meetings, and then we'll talk about what it means to clap for mistakes and how you and your team can move beyond them. Module 5 is all about inspiring personal accountability. I'll walk you through what it means to create empathy, why that's so important as the foundation of accountability for your team. We'll make sure that you understand how and why to outlaw review criticisms. We'll talk about how you can stop punishing and start coaching your people to be better teammates, and then how you can give and receive better feedback with everyone on your team. And have those sometimes difficult conversations and then how to prepare for them. Module 6 will focus upon toasts, recognition, and appreciation. It'll make sure that you understand the importance of letting people feel seen, of recognizing and identifying what your team needs to applaud, how to celebrate to get the behaviors you want. It'll teach you how to use milestones and $20 celebrations to make sure your people feel appreciated for their efforts, and you'll get handouts and activities to personalize recognition and make sure it's meaningful for your people. The last module, Module 7, includes tools and resources to make sure that you can maintain and continue to improve the process of growing and developing your team culture. Remember, a high-performing culture allows your strategy to succeed. So you'll learn why and how to put culture on your calendar, where you can find and use other resources that can be made available to you in that module. The entire Rapid Teamwork Masterclass includes access to over 26 video modules, a masterclass workbook to work through in the first module, over 30 tools and activities and downloads with step-by-step instructions to implement the activities that will grow your team at every step along the way. You'll get access to over 50 other digital resources in my members-only community, and even more importantly, you'll get access to some amazing Bonuses. Now, a number of people have historically seen Thomas Edison as an inspiring individual because of his perseverance, and his famous quote, "I haven't failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work," is something that many people are familiar with. The quote's supposed to be motivating, and it celebrates the persistence that he showed. But as a leader, I think about you and where you're at with your team, and I wonder to myself, is that necessarily something that we should applaud? Is stubborn persistence through 10,000 failures something that you have the patience and ability to endure in your current position? Confused is not a healthy way to lead and doesn't contribute to better results on your team. So if you're worn out and frustrated from dealing with behaviors that are sabotaging your team's performance or positivity or results, You need to make a decision. And the truth is that maybe a program like this isn't a good fit for you. Some leaders have an ego that keeps them working in isolation and wasting time and complaining as they continue to search for answers on their own. Some leaders don't want to plug into a proven system. They like doing things their way. Some leaders aren't serious about maximizing the performance or happiness of their people and don't mind losing good people because they're more focused on dealing with other things. But most leaders are smart enough to ask themselves this question: What will it cost you to do nothing? What is the price of complacency and inaction on your team? Because again, it's not just what we do, but what we don't do that we'll be held accountable for as leaders. And everything has a cost. As a leader, you probably know the price of many of these issues. Employee turnover is something that costs companies $20,000 to $30,000 for every good person that leaves. Employee productivity, according to McKinsey Group, diminishes almost a quarter, 25%, in organizations where their people are not connected or they don't have a compelling common goal or connections with people around them. Trust and accountability. Think about the expense of disrespectful behavior. According to the Sam Walton College of Business in Arkansas, workplace incivility has doubled over the past two decades and on average costs companies about $14,000 per employee every year because of lost production and work time. And of course, there's an emotional cost of doing nothing. Absenteeism, poor health, stress, internal conflict— they cost $350 billion a year according to Gallup. So if you're going home in the afternoons frustrated or upset or bothered by your team's performance, you owe it to yourself to find a way to be a better leader. So you have a choice: to be complacent or to be committed to growth and improvement. The people that have gone through the Rapid Teamwork Masterclass did so because they said it made more sense to follow a proven system instead of suffering through more of those 10,000 mistakes. They wanted to accelerate their speed and shorten their path to being a more effective leader sooner and with less frustration.

Bonus 3 is you will have unlimited email access to me to send questions, to share updates, to make sure that we maintain a connection so that you're never stuck in implementing the ideas and the lessons that I'll be sharing as part of the program. And then finally, and perhaps most valuable, is bonus number 4.
