Elite Speaker Series featuring Robert "Cujo" Teschner

Robert Teschner’s topic is “Debrief to Win, Foundations of Accountable Leadership”.  Many organizations struggle with implementing system-wide accountability.  Holding people accountable for their decisions is a challenging prospect for anyone, especially those who lack experience in this field.  An additional pressure point is the prospect of accountable leadership in a rapidly-changing environment, in an age where disruptors are constantly emerging, challenging “the old way” of doing business. 

Organizations that thrive in this age of rapid change are those that have built processes and employ methodologies focusing on human interactions.  Critically, they’ve adopted cultures that embrace improvement and value accountability in all aspects of their operations.  Either by design or chance they are following the approach high-performing military teams take to enable success in complex environments the world-over.  Learning from these high-performing military teams is a powerful option for any organization that intends to win despite disruptive change.  Mr. Teschner will provide insight into how high-performing military teams teach leadership, practice accountability and deal with complexity.

Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how high-performing military teams organize and prepare for operations in Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) environments.  They will gain a foundational understanding of the high-performing team Debrief model, to include an appreciation for the cultural requirements necessary for successful implementation within their own teams and organizations.
