Great success. We’ve covered all four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive and with one session to go, we’re working on operationalizing it. Today was all about Groundedness and Getting Naked!

This was episode 172 of our week-daily virtual coffee, which takes place in Konktown’s discord server and Clubhouse’s Startup Club from 8-9am EST. It’s free and open to anyone from anywhere in the world.

Some of the key highlights from today’s show included:

1. Building a cohesive leadership team is critical for organizational success and reducing politics.
2. Organizations need to overcommunicate their values, purpose, and priorities through repetition across different settings. 
3. Rich O Connor’s success was due to his commitment to simplicity and discipline through the 4 disciplines.
4. Assessing team cohesion through compelling meetings, unguarded debate, accountability, understanding strengths/weaknesses, and avoiding gossip.
5. Personality types like the MBTI can help teams understand each other to build trust and cohesion.
