Our origin is built on three zones of team development that many get wrong because they typically focus on one of these three zones to the exclusion of the other two.
You may have noticed that there is a triangle within our logo. It is an isosceles triangle. Why? Because while everything rises and falls on leadership (John Maxwell), you cannot get your team moving without communicating effectively, and ultimately team assignments should highlight the strengths of your team members - not hide them.
Unless it is part of the hiring process, the factor missed by most teams is understanding the makeup of their team's strengths. And then there may be a breakdown in communication.
These Zone are Critical. Perhaps, rather than terminating team members - a focus on each zone would provide a way to accelerate performance. What does your focus and team development look like?

Ben led a group training for my clients all about social media & copy that converts! It was amazing value packed into 1-hour. I've also read his book & really enjoyed the tools & formulas he shares. Ben is professional, prepared, and committed to bringing value.
Dan and I worked together for two years. During that time Dan excelled as a leader in both curriculum implementation & assessment, as well as handling difficult situations in a professional manner.
Ben's leadership role is surpassed by his passion for excellence. His approach is very professional, demanding, yet personal and friendly. It was a pleasure to collaborate on many projects together. He is a great mentor, coach, people person who is always upbeat and positive. Has the right stuff to raise the bottom line to any organization!!
