This course explores the core principles of The Advantage — Patrick Lencioni’s groundbreaking framework for building healthy, high-performing teams. Led by Al Amador, a seasoned leadership consultant and longtime partner of The Table Group, this session distills over two decades of real-world experience helping executive teams at companies like Apple, Netflix, Cisco, Kaiser and The North Face achieve greater unity, focus and accountability.
Through powerful stories and practical exercises, Al reveals how behavioral alignment — not technical skill — determines a team’s long-term success. You’ll learn how to build vulnerability-based trust, create clarity around priorities and establish peer-to-peer accountability that drives performance across every level of your organization.

✔️ Practical methods to build vulnerability-based trust and eliminate unhealthy conflict
✔️ How to define and communicate your team’s “rally cry” to align focus and energy
✔️ Why managing behaviors leads to better outcomes than managing numbers alone
✔️ How to balance your commitment between the team you lead and the team you’re on
