Even the strongest teams struggle when the conditions aren’t right.
Leadership is about creating the environment for performance — not just managing it.
Yesterday I worked with a team that had been through a tough period — trust strained, pace relentless, connection frayed.
We explored the 6 Team Conditions, and one insight landed hard:
60–80% of team effectiveness isn’t about personalities — it’s about the conditions we create for people to do their best work. It’s also about the order in which we address these conditions….
Of course, performance still matters. But when leaders focus only on individuals, and not the system around them, they end up managing symptoms, not causes.
The real work is in creating the right conditions — connection, interdependence, clarity of purpose, boundaries, support, and shared mindset — so people can thrive and deliver.
At CPEM Consulting Group, we believe sustainable performance starts with reflection.
Sometimes the most important leadership act isn’t another decision — it’s a pause.
A moment to ask: What’s really happening in our system?
Because when leaders slow down to see the system clearly, they start setting people up for success — not just managing the aftermath.
If this resonates, ask yourself — what’s really driving performance in your system right now?
