Leadership consulting that strengthens teams and develops leaders.
Because the success of your organization comes from the strength of your team.
Are you experiencing any of these problems at work?
Absense of Trust
Team members don't trust one another and without trust a team cannot thrive.
Fear of Conflict
Team members don't have the real conversations – saying what needs to be said and bringing their true opinions for the best for the team.
Lack of Commitment
Team members don't stick to decisions. They are passive or only partially commit to what needs to be done for the good of the organization.
Avoidance of Accountability
Team members just "do their job" or "stay in their own lane" rather than push one another to do their best. They do not hold one another accountable for their behaviors and performance.
Inattention to Results
Team members care more about their personal status and pursuits over the collective success of the team – like the kid who is happy after the soccer game personally scoring 3 goals even though their team lost.
Work doesn't have to be miserable.
We’ll help you build a team that people love being a part of – including you.
You don't have to do it alone.
We understand your problem because we've been there too. We've made the same mistakes you have and have discovered there's a better way forward.
At Haakenson Consulting, we know that you want your work to be more fulfilling. In order for that to happen, you need to build a thriving, more successful organization. The problem is that all teams are potentially dysfunctional, which makes your work exponentially more difficult. We believe that successful teamwork is not about mastering subtle, sophisticated theories, but rather about embracing common sense principles with uncommon levels of discipline and persistence.
We understand the hurdles to making that happen, which is why we can help.
"Organizational health is the single greatest competitive advantage in any business.
The vast majority of organizations today have more than enough intelligence, experience and knowledge to be successful. What they lack is organizational health."
Patrick Lencioni, The Table Group
