Read the habit line aloud, ask the three questions, and leave with the one commitment. Any member of the team can facilitate; rotating the facilitator is itself a team habit. Built for command staffs, leadership teams, and academy cohorts working through Habits of High-Performing Teams together

This set contains every Leader Self-Assessment from all twenty chapters of Habits of High-Performing Teams: How Great Leaders Build Trust, Accountability, and Cultures That Perform Under Pressure in a printable format, so you can retake them over time, share them with your leadership team, and track your growth.
