So many teams miss out on becoming their best because they don’t understand the fundamentals of teamwork. Specifically, they don’t know how to harness the upside of positive, forward-focused accountability to build teams that trust one another, teams that perform and teams that learn continuously.

Through this inspiration session, former Air Force “Top Gun” Cujo Teschner will teach what it is that allows a group of people to transform into a team. He’ll speak about a flight path to team performance used by front-line high-performance teams that win through disruption. He’ll also teach the tenets of positive, forward-focused accountability practiced by winning teams known as “Debriefing”.

Cujo will do so by combining stories of military teams and personal experiences, and ending with a personal story of transformation, accountability and excellence where it matters most in a way that resonates on a personal level.

Learning Objectives:
– Understand the importance of a Shared Mission
– Recognize centrality of Team Purpose
– Appreciate the necessity of living Core Values
– Understand the definition of Accountability and the way to practice it in a way that builds a real team
– Understand and apply these tenets in both business and life.
