Episode Description
Why do so many teams and groups fail to perform—achieving compromise at best and gridlock at worst? What does it take to end this gridlock? Join host Rasheryl McCreary and her guest, best-selling author Les McKeown. In THE SYNERGIST: Leading Your Team to Predictable Success, McKeown identifies three characters that sit at every business meeting, ’The Visionary’, ‘The Processor’, and ‘The Operator’ (VOP), each battling for their competing agendas and together blocking the way to real progress. Mckeown argues that every successful team includes a critical fourth player—the Synergist—who can take all three: the bold dreamers, the pragmatic realists, and the systems designers; and knit them together into a dynamic, well-rounded team. Most importantly, according to McKeown, the Synergist is a role anyone can learn. Tune in to the Leader and The Muse for practical, quick-start strategies to become a Synergist and lead your team to predictable success.
