Whether it’s teams on fast-paced project teams or executive teams full of ego and co-opetition, dysfunction is so often the norm that we become resigned to it. It doesn’t have to be that way, and in fact it’s a critical competitive advantage if it’s never that way. Learn: - What’s at the heart of team dysfunction. - How teams could approach problems but rarely do. - How our own actions are often to blame. - Understand the real key to influence in group dynamics.  - The criticality of team cohesion at the executive level and what it takes to achieve it. Bob Johnson, Ph.D., is the Founder and Managing Partner at Shoreline Partners. With a track record of guiding over 1,000 CEOs, executives, and their teams, he equips clients with the awareness and skills to transform friction into fuel - turning their recurring problems into partnerships that drive performance. #### Who should listen? - Executives wanting to improve their influence on and dynamics of the teams they lead. - Leaders at all levels who feel like they are spending too much time as “The Referee.” #### Show Notes - NEW!

With a track record of guiding over 1,000 CEOs, executives, and their teams, he equips clients with the awareness and skills to transform friction into fuel - turning their recurring problems into partnerships that drive performance. He empowers leadership and cross-functional teams to break free from ‘here-we-go-again’ conflicts and build cultures where people have one another’s backs. At the core of his work is a game-changing insight: trust, collaboration, and decision quality don’t improve just by wanting them to—they require skilled learning. Yet, even the most capable leaders unknowingly sabotage learning while believing they’re committed to it. Dr. Johnson helps leaders and teams see, own, and transform this universal human blind sport as a catalyst for breakthrough results. Prior to his work in the corporate sector, Dr. Johnson served as Division Psychologist with the 1st Infantry Division, United States Army. During his five years of active duty service, he completed assignments in Germany, Iraq, Kuwait, and the United States.
