Best Practices: Achieving Cross-Functional Team Wins

In this week’s episode, Tracy Eames, CEO of TEAMES & CO is talking about how to help your teams achieve wins. All too often in our companies we operate in silos. These silos create friction between our teams and decrease our ability to reach strategic objectives. Today we are sharing a few tips and best practices about how to achieve strategic wins with your cross-functional teams.

Show Highlights:

• Highlight (01:40) - Tracy introduces why we are talking about cross functional team success. At TEAMES & CO we work on a lot of projects, but specifically, often a CTO or CIO is hiring us to help them figure out how to launch, an app or a website. These digital product launches require a high level of cross-functional collaboration, so we thought we would share a few best practices.
• Highlight (03:00) - Tracy shares why the way many leaders set goals today actually creates more friction than progress for cross-functional teams.
• Highlight (04:39) - Why having a cross functional mindset can make you a better leader.
• Highlight (5:50) - How can leaders model the behavior that they are looking to see from their teams.
