To be a leader means managing constant complexity. Shifting priorities, team dynamics, capacity challenges, and the pressure to execute while everything keeps changing.
Our Leadership Strategy Sessions are supportive, no-fluff monthly virtual meetings for leaders navigating the real challenges of modern team life.
Each session blends practical guidance, coaching, and peer Q&A. We tackle what's most timely and relevant, from clarifying team roles and managing capacity to leading through change and building trust.
You don't need to prep. You just need to show up as you are, with whatever's on your plate. These sessions are designed to meet you where you are.
Last month, we looked at whether your team had what it needed to execute. This month, we're looking at what might be slowing them down even when those things are in place.
In almost every team, there are patterns of waste hiding in plain sight: work that stalls because someone is waiting on a response, projects that get touched too many times before they ship, outputs that require rework because something wasn't clear upstream. These aren't signs of a bad team. They're signs of a system with friction that no one has named yet.
In this session, we'll use TIMWOOD to identify where the drag is coming from and what to address first. We'll focus on the patterns most common in knowledge work and creative teams:
-
Where wait times are building up, and who or what is causing the bottleneck
-
Where overprocessing is holding things back instead of making them better
-
Where overproduction creates drag — multiple versions of the same thing, work that gets created but never used, reinventing from scratch when a template would do
-
How defects (rework, miscommunication, unclear handoffs) ripple through a team and eat capacity
The goal isn't to turn your team into a machine. It's to clear the friction that's making good work harder than it needs to be before the Q2 ramp-up adds more to everyone's plate.
Bring questions about: Bottlenecks you've noticed but haven't been able to name, decisions or deliverables that keep getting recycled instead of shipped, how to talk to your team about friction without it feeling like criticism, and how to create better conditions for your team's best work in Q2.
