About

Even strong leadership teams can stall when the stakes are high. Because high performance (especially under pressure) rests on a foundation of trust. "I trust you with my career" kind of trust, because that's often what's going on beneath the surface. You can be sure that's present in your team when your leaders are able to name their hardest problems, challenge one another directly, and stay with the conversation long enough to solve them together. Without that kind of trust, here's what usually happens: → Tension builds between two leaders. → They complain to you in private, but sugarcoat the real issues with each other. → You push for the conversation to happen. It does, but only on the surface. → They patch things up with polite half-truths. → Weeks later, the same issue resurfaces. You step in and make the call they keep dodging. When this happens more than once, its what I call a "here we go again" loop. Familiar, frustrating, and expensive. If your team is like many I’ve worked with, you’ve seen this loop repeat, especially in moments when alignment and execution matter most. Another team-building event won't solve this dynamic. That's because a shared meal or a day on the course won't disrupt the mindset traps and cross-functional blind spots that keep this pattern alive. That’s where I can help. I work with executive teams to help them shift from: • Armwrestling over who’s right → Learning from each other • Reacting to problems → Preventing them together • Lobbying in private → Owning decisions as a team I bring structured frameworks and over two decades of experience helping exec teams move from high-friction to high-functioning. We turn surface-level collaboration into operational trust, improving speed, agility, and results. Great teams don’t avoid conflict. They use it to get better, faster. If your team needs to break out of their "here we go again" loop, let’s talk. www.teamtransformationmethod.com dr.bob@teamtransformationmethod.com 310.228.7866 --- Here's what clients say: 📢 "Conflicts are way down, and my team are now proactive in getting each others' perspectives." – VP Quality, MedTech 📢 "Without this program, we would have ended up in internal warfare.

During active duty service as a psychologist in the US Army, I was responsible for a broad range of activities, to include leading a Combat Stress Control Team during a year-long deployment to Iraq. During a three year assignment in Schweinfurt, Germany, I served as a clinic administer, direct care provider, and expert forensic witness. Additionally, my team and I partnered closely with company- and battalion-level leaders to prepare a combat brigade for a successful deployment to Iraq and redeployment and re-integration with their families. Finally, our Combat Stress Control Team partnered with the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) to apply research-based best-practices to the enhancement of small team performance in the austere and dangerous conditions of a deployment to Iraq.
