This month I am introducing a new addition to the Teaching Learning Leading K12 library:
Team Building Tips with Steve.
These episodes will be monthly and run between 5 and 10 minutes.
I will be talking about ways to get your team to be a team.
Each episode will feature a resource that you can use to help you focus on the growth and health of your team.
On today’s show I ask the question “Is your team a team?”
So is it?
Here is a list of the resources that I mention:
The Advantage by Patrick Lencioni
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni
The 17 Indisputable Laws of Teamwork by John Maxwell
This is Your Life with Michael Hyatt (A Podcast)

Episode 55: Capturing a Child's Heart with Flip Flippen
Friday May 15, 2015
Friday May 15, 2015
Flip is focused on helping kids and teachers be successful by changing behaviors and attitudes.
He is the founder and chairman of the Flippen Group, “an educator training, corporate talent, and team development company.” He is also the author of The Flip Side: Break Free of the Behaviors That Hold You Back.
“Flip developed the theory of Overcoming Personal Constraints (OPC) to accelerate personal effectiveness by identifying and breaking debilitating behavior patterns that limit performance and hinder growth.”
“The theory and practice of Overcoming Personal Constraints are being used in board rooms, locker rooms, and briefing rooms to improve individual and team performance around the world.”
On today’s show, Flip connects his thoughts to creating better relationships in the school. He and his team work with the staff and students to understand how to identify those behaviors in the school house that keep the adults and students at odds with each other. He talks about the factors that need to be addressed to create a better school climate that will help adults and students be successful.
I think that you will really enjoy this conversation.
Flip is an amazing individual who has developed a way to reach out to many and help them overcome bad behaviors. After listening I encourage you to check out more about Flip and The Flippen Group.
