Who Is Your First Team?
Summary
As a leader at any level, it is important to understand how you are making a wider, deeper, and bigger impact for the overall organization, not just the teams you lead.

You’ll learn how to implement a First Team mindset in your organizational culture at multiple levels (from the executive team to front-line managers). And you’ll learn how to leverage the first-team approach to create more clarity, collaboration, and accountability, all to help you achieve greater organizational alignment, higher-performing teams, and overall employee engagement.
