\n\tEven a group of very bright, capable, talented people can get off track easily. Keeping everyone aligned and focused on the same key results is a daily struggle for most teams and organizations. Most people consider themselves to be accountable people. The issue is: Are they crystal clear about what they’re supposed to be accountable for? <\/p>\n

\n\tHas This Ever Happened to You? <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tYou meet with your team to debate a pesky issue. Everyone nods when you ask if you’ve come to an agreement and a course of action. Then they walk out of the room. The problem is that everyone leaving that room is at a different level of alignment, some higher than others. But you won’t know that until days or weeks down the road when results aren’t achieved. As you’re doing a post-mortem on the situation, you discover the team was never really aligned in the first place. <\/p>\n

\n\tA new app called Propeller, developed by consulting and training organization Partners In Leadership, is a simple solution, whether you are a community of volunteers, small to medium-sized business, or an organization with thousands of employees. It simplifies your complex team situations and gives you tangible, in-the-moment solutions as well as feedback. <\/p>\n

\n\tPropeller gets to the heart of what matters most for your team. If they get off track, you’ll know immediately if your key results are in jeopardy. Leaders, or those who want that leadership track, now can address their teams through video uploads, in-the-moment feedback, recognition for those who deserve it, and more. <\/p>\n

\n\tNamed for its ability to move individuals, teams and organizations in the right direction, Propeller has five elements: <\/p>\n

\n
1. \n\t\tYour team leader first enters the desired key results.<\/strong> What matters most to your team, your company? These will be your team’s top priorities, preferably three to five metrics. It’s important to define success in the simplest, most basic terms. Propeller enables you to make these key results clear, memorable, meaningful, and measurable. <\/li>\n
2. \n\t\tA daily coaching process. <\/strong>In-the-moment feedback keeps everyone connected and engaged. Everyone can see each other’s impact on key results and provide constructive reactions. Users are recognized for their contributions. Likewise, as a leader, you can see if everyone is aligned to “take the hill” or have each other’s back. <\/li>\n
3. \n\t\tA crowd-sourcing approach to problem solving.<\/strong> When a team is trying to achieve something, there are always unanticipated obstacles. Everyone must move into problem solving mode quickly and everyone must be on board. Propeller enables you to get immediate input from the entire team. <\/li>\n
4. \n\t\tWisdom.<\/strong> You will develop a stronger team culture and get better at applying personal accountability to every situation. It empowers people at all levels of an organization to mentor one another. It teaches you on the go how to be the best type of leader for any organization. <\/li>\n
5. \n\t\tLeadership video communication.<\/strong> Leaders can directly reach out, daily if they want, to their team members to guide and mentor the team on what matters most for the day, week, month or year. Give updates on key results, new events, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   \n\tPropeller keeps people focused on the team’s core purpose, while giving them the ability and agility to change quickly as needed. <\/p>\n

   \n\tPartners In Leadership is providing an introductory three-for-free offer: Any team leader can download Propeller, add two team members for free, and start using Propeller at no charge.
