“I love what I do, I just wish my team worked better together,”

you say whenever anyone asks you about work.

“I love what I do, I just wish my team worked better together,”

you say whenever anyone asks you about work.

And it’s true. You do love what you do. It’s just that every day is starting to feel like Groundhog Day, and you feel like your team is just running through the motions.

Every project starts well. There’s a flurry of activity and big ideas on the best way to kick everything off...then as everyone starts doing their tasks, small things start to drop off.

Projects that should be a snap move at a snail’s pace...
  • Your team agonizes over decisions…
  • Key team members lose track of project flow and who is responsible for doing what…
  • ​Task ownership handoffs get missed completely...
And too often, you end up redoing the work yourself to ensure that it’s done right...

It feels sloppy, and you just wish there was a way to engage your employees to build teams that are connected, supportive, and get optimum results. It’s affecting your company culture and you worry that clients will start to notice.

It’s even more true when everyone is working remotely and you can’t shout down the hall or pop into someone’s office. 

You know you have great people on your team, you just wish you could help them work together more effectively.

You just don’t know how to build an agile project team...and you’re exhausted and burned out.

You are not alone in your frustration or burnout…

You are not alone in your frustration or burnout…

According to a 2017 study by Kronos and Future Workplace, employee burnout is the biggest threat to workforce engagement…
…and with 67% of workers feeling burned out at least some of the time, if not most of it, it’s a no-brainer that your team feels the same way.

…and with 67% of workers feeling burned out at least some of the time, if not most of it, it’s a no-brainer that your team feels the same way.

But there’s ANOTHER reason you are struggling to build an asynchronous team and it's not just because you’re burnt out with too much on your plate. The real reason is that your team isn’t doing three ESSENTIAL things that lead to greater efficiency and higher productivity.

01

They don’t lean on one 
another’s strengths.

It’s all too easy to focus on your job and what you do best. That is, after all, why you get paid the big bucks. However, when you and your team pay attention to what one another does well and where they’re struggling, it’s easier to adjust the project based on the skillset of the team so that your projects keep moving and get optimal results.

02

They don’t know how to have fun.

Everyone gets a case of the Mondays from time to time, but going into work shouldn’t feel like a drag. When your team is accountable and trusts one another, they have a more positive mindset and more productive. Teams that get the best results tend to enjoy working together too.

03

They aren’t growing their individual strengths.

It’s all too easy to get comfortable with your routine. After all, a routine can be a very good thing, but it can also stifle individual development. When you encourage and reward your team for finding small ways to build their individual skills, they’re more likely to innovate and think outside the box. Even small individual improvements can make a huge impact on the whole team’s productivity and success.

04

They aren’t helping one another grow.

When team members feel like everything is a competition, they are less likely to share knowledge with one another. Instead, when you prioritize emotional and conversational intelligence, your team is more open to teaching one another and growing as a team. A rising tide lifts all ships, and teams that embrace supporting one another tend to focus more on the overarching project goals and get better results.

Even though it may seem impossible to develop connected and agile teams that work well together, are open to feedback, and genuinely want to support one another’s growth, there is good news…

...you can get more done in less time without the stress or overwhelm.

Hi, I’m Gerald Leonard.

I know your struggles as a team leader because I’ve been there myself more times than I can count in my 20+ years as a project manager for multinational corporations, Fortune 500 companies, State and Federal Government, as well as DOD agencies.

I know that you’re stressed, overwhelmed, and wanting more...and I want to help you and your team reduce the frustration and grow your efficiency and get better results.

My unique lens as both a professional bassist and seasoned business management consultant means that my approach ties deeply into my lifelong experience in both the music and business worlds.

Over the years, music has played a huge role in my entire life, teaching me, among other things, the discipline of practice, playing fairly with friends, how to listen, how to connect with others, and how to have fun.

As a consultant helping businesses of all sizes solve problems with efficiency and productivity, I focus most often on cultural adjustments like improving understanding and communication than on sweeping organizational changes.
One day, I noticed that the teams who adapted best to change had one thing in common— an agile mindset. As I started exploring what that meant, I realized that these strong teams also have some surprising parallels with the best jazz ensembles I’ve played with, so I started digging deeper.

What I discovered is this...in both agile teams and jazz ensembles, each person plays a valuable role, and they’re each good at what they do. The similarities go even deeper as both groups also excel in listening, improvising, and adjusting for better collaboration, and achieving peak performance.

So I got to work. I identified nine key areas where business leaders can learn from jazz ensembles to build an agile team...and I started incorporating these training strategies into my consulting practice with IMMEDIATE RESULTS.

And, Workplace Jazz was born. I designed the IMPROVISE framework to start building more engaged and increasingly agile teams almost overnight. 
They streamline their work, overcome burnout, keep a better eye on the overarching project goals, and get more done faster.

As the founder of the Leonard Productivity Intelligence Institute, I teach my clients behind-the-scenes secrets of jazz musicians to innovate, improvise, and collaborate. And, I’ve helped hundreds of leaders just like you learn strategies to help their team achieve peak performance again and again.

And, now you can have access to this unique, successful approach to developing a healthier company culture that integrates productivity, workplace culture, music, and neuroscience. You can take your team from burned out, disjointed, and going through the motions to fully aligned, flexible, and having an agile mindset.

And, you can regain your sense of purpose, create a healthier and more productive workplace culture, and achieve more in less time.

Here’s How It All Breaks Down:

In this module, we’ll explore how what’s happening in your brain is impacting your performance ---and that of your team. We’ll dig into the neuroscience of where your brain is less stressed and more impactful and set the stage for why neuroscience is important to the Workplace Jazz framework.

“Workplace Jazz has a universal theme and will appeal to those in music and in business. As a drummer, who’s performed with Gerald, I feel this comparison between jazz musicians and agile teams makes for a great read.
