The TL;DR, Fixing Your Team Culture, Briefly


A bi-weekly roundup of leadership resources
March 16 - March 29

Fix A Broken Team Culture

There's beauty in being brief.

So, instead of my bi-weekly rambling story filled with puns and links, I'm actually giving you the TL;DR.

TL;DR: I wrote a new guide on how to reset team culture through crafting a leadership mandate.

It's three preliminary steps, four specific action items, and a FAQ designed to fix team disengagement, trust issues, and/or constant tension. Definitely not brief, but it's specific.

When I sense that I'm becoming disengaged, I try to have some alone time.

This newsletter is chock full of guides. Here's one more:

My longtime Accountabilibuddy and podcast cohost Alycia Angle and I created a guide that documented our own process for self-discovery, what we call the 30-Day Question Challenge. We did it in 2021, found amazing success, and decided to bring it back for Q2 of 2024.

It's a great guide for people seeking clarity in their goals, life purpose, invisible roadblocks, and more.

It's 30 questions over 30 days and we're starting on April 1st.

If you want to join us on the journey, write back to this email and we'll get you going.

Plan for a better new year,

Dan from Learn to Scale
