🎵 Start tearin’ the old man down...Run past the heather and down to the old road…
Omaha, somewhere in middle America...🎶
Hey Evolve!
Our team had its first "mostly-together" meeting in Omaha last week! A few attended virtually, but most of us were in a room and talking strategy, catching up and beginning to plan out the rest of the year.
Preparing for Q2
It was great to be back together and renew relationships in person. One thing we did that was very insightful was to go through GiANT's "5 Voices" material and map out our team. Turns out we have a heavier than normal influence of Nurturers, Guardians, and Connectors and we’re light on Pioneers and Creatives. On a personal note, I'm a Creative, and, as such, I'm always thinking down the road. This exercise really helped explain why I get my fair share of sideways looks when I’m sharing ideas. From a team perspective, we are all focused on executing right now. This exercise unpacked how different team members view the world. It really brought into focus what’s important to each team member and highlighted how we can execute well together.
For Q2's Community Day in each geographies, we’ll be working through the 5 Voices. It’s great stuff and as you look to build high performing teams and leave a strong personal legacy, understanding how people think and how to work well with them is very valuable. Remember to get your people signed up to attend.
We’re 3 weeks out from heading to Dallas to kick off Q2 hybrid fashion in North America. Get those legacy plans out, polish them up a bit, make some progress and come ready to share at your Q2 meeting.
Don't Forget!
Thursday, April 29, we'll be discussing "Things to Consider While Developing a DaaS Program" with GreatAmerica. Register for the webinar here.
Thanks for being a part of Evolve – stay healthy and lead strong!
