Agenda

Welcome & Opening Remarks

Michael McCarroll, Teamraderie CEO

In 2024, a two-year study tracked 100+ workplace teams and identified habits differentiating high-performing teams. Unlike many studies, teams were evaluated on their actual work product using dimensions such as “Efficiency,” “Results,” and “Innovation.” Learn what behaviors and practices identify productive and high-performing teams—and understand what must be in place across your entire workforce to become a high-performance culture.

This session will help you equip teams with a valuable tool to reframe challenges and unlock fresh, insightful ideation.

Empowering High-Performance Teams for Speed

Presentation and Discussion
Health drivers:
Trust, Communication
Anne Morriss, HBS, Author of Move Fast & Fix Things
Best-selling author and scholar Anne Morriss challenges the assumption that teams must move “slow” in order to fix things. Sharing research from Harvard Business School and elsewhere, Anne will share tactics that help teams sustain speed without compromising excellence. This session will provide actionable strategies to help teams move fast, make meaningful progress, and drive results—without burning out their people in the process.

Decision Making, Communication
Col. Robert Teschner, former U.S. Air Force Fighter Weapons School Instructor
Retired Air Force Colonel Robert “Cujo” Teschner will share research on the most effective ways to help teams assume an attitude of accountability without blame. He will then put the room into a short simulation exercise in which you will practice this new technique and watch its effectiveness on rapid issue identification and resolution. This session will equip you with techniques to foster a culture of ownership, drive continuous improvement, and help teams navigate the path forward after every mission.

Measure High-Performance Teaming

Presentation and Discussion
Health drivers:
