The Ideal Team Player
Build a team of humble, hungry, and emotionally smart contributors.
The Ideal Team Player is a two-part training designed to help organizations strengthen their teams from the inside out. Inspired by Patrick Lencioni’s popular leadership framework, this workshop teaches participants to embrace the three core traits every great team member needs: humility, hunger, and people smarts.
Through discussion, real-life examples, and guided reflection, team members will explore how these characteristics show up at work — and how developing them leads to better collaboration, stronger accountability, and long-term success.
