Your agency doesn't have a sales problem. It has a people problem. I spent 15+ years building teams, from scrappy startups, to scaling tech companies, to huge agencies like GroupM and WPP. Now, I give small agency owners the SOPs, frameworks, and hard truths they need to build high-performance cultures that run without them.

A bi-weekly roundup of leadership resources March 16 - March 29 Fix A Broken Team CultureThere'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.
A TL;DR from the CROWhen I sense that I'm becoming disengaged, I try to have some alone time. -Roman Noodles, Chief Ruff Officer Better Communication Helps TooYou know what also helps build a healthy team culture? Good communication. Have you downloaded our new free eBook on improving communication? 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.
