Building Player-Led Teams w/ Diana Futrovsky

Diana Futrovshy is the Managing Director at CRA Admired Leadership. She advises clients on how to engage employees, generate organizational alignment, and build leadership credibility. She has expertise in designing strategic messages, developing communication strategies, and executing large-scale change initiatives. Diana also has experience in leading CRA’s proprietary cascade process, a series of carefully orchestrated team conversations that foster employee understanding of business priorities and generate alignment among all levels of the organization.

In this episode, Diana shares her views on what constitutes an exceptional team, emphasizing that it goes beyond having a group of skilled individuals. We delve into the concept of Player-Led Teams, which are often more successful than hierarchical teams because they promote leadership among all members and prioritize collaboration rather than top-down control. Diana shares some insights on how teams can become more player-led.

Additionally, we explore the idea of Admired Leadership, which involves identifying the behaviors of successful leaders and teaching them to others.
