How to Lead a Team That Gets Results

Accountability is the thing most teams say they want and most leaders find hardest to hold. This free course walks through five leadership disciplines, one email a day, drawn from the practices SLG teaches Fellows.

• Day 1: How to Build a Cohesive Team. Clarity is not achieved when something is said, but when it is understood. Define what excellence looks like and confirm shared alignment before work begins.
• Day 2: Keeping Expectations on Track Without Micromanaging. Follow up intentionally, state your level of involvement upfront, and build accountability without hovering.
• Day 3: When Expectations Still Are Not Met. The discipline of empathetic accountability: holding someone to a clear standard while genuinely acknowledging their reality.
• Day 4: When to Escalate. The difference between supporting development and enabling underperformance, and the confidence to seek support before a situation grows beyond your scope.
• Day 5: Building a Culture Where Excellence Is a Shared Expectation. Connecting the disciplines into a single framework you can lead from consistently.

The course is free, and it asks nothing of you afterward.
