The Six Steps to Building a High Performing Team
Why do certain groups add up to be greater than the sum of their parts while others add up actually to be less? The critical insight is that interactions between individuals matter significantly more than the talent of the individual people in the team. Have your managers learn the Six Levels of High Performing Teams to transform your teams.
Your managers control the culture of your entire organization and are the most significant factor in driving your company's success. However, managers are often promoted as reward to their past success of a job well-done instead of the people leader skills necessary in leading a high performing team. The result: your managers are stuck as an oversized overworked individual contributor.
Most managers do not spend the necessary time to build an effective team, and while they may know some of the pieces, they lack the understanding of how it all fits together. Elevate from manager to leader through small everyday acts of coaching, encouragement, and empowerment. In this keynote Fahd orients managers towards a pulse-check of their team dynamics and takes a digestible framework for creating a high-performing team.
Often, leadership isn’t about grandiose heroic actions. Leadership opportunities lay in small everyday acts of service through coaching, encouragement, and empowerment. Symptoms of leadership can be found in the implicit subtext and culture that it creates*We also offer this keynote as a workshop. Contact us for details.
Do you believe in the inherent goodness of people?
How answering this question can shift your culture.
The pressure is on to create a competitive organizational culture, but the crux of culture begins at broader horizons than flexible work schedules, trendy open-concept offices and benefit packages with obscure wellness treatments.
While you have a set of wordsmithed values that leaders agree to, why is it that we so often see leaders put at odds with their own words? Culture begins with the mindsets of people and the honest values practiced - not preached.
Through shared stories, case studies, and research, Fahd offers a new perspective on culture by exploring this loaded question. Audiences are encouraged to flirt with the idea that humans are inherently good and how this mindset can apply to all HR policies and Talent Strategies to upscale team culture.

The 6 Steps to Embodying a Leader’s Mindset
We’ve created this myth to expect singular, grandiose, charismatic leaders to pave the way forward. Be the north star. In practice it is seldom the case, and leaders can come from anywhere.
It's tempting to sway yourself into assuming all of the responsibility as a leader. As if its burden entirely weighs on one person only. But effective leadership is a teamwork activity. And great organizations cannot be built on one person's shoulders.
A group that is taught and given permission to lead dynamically from their strengths grounded in a mission and values can achieve and adapt to the constant of change. This is the agility a culture of leadership offers, the rest is a domino effect. You just need to be the first domino.
The days where seniority is rewarded are over. Employees who treat their job like routine threaten their own potential to take ownership, lead, and get promoted. The real magic happens when employees are empowered to take risks. And it all begins with a leadership mindset.
