3 Insights from This Episode:

1. What got you to where you are, will not get you to where you need to go. Les breaks down what is Predictable Success and what is needed to get your team to grow for the next level.
2. The Synergist is a learned style that says “We are all here to do what is best for the whole”. We all have styles of working together that we are best at, but sometimes we need to learn a new style in order to make our organization the best it can be. ACES uses the synergist quiz to determine coalition member styles and learn to put them in the roles that would suit them best.
3. Know what you want to do. Les talks about how he left his large organization because he liked the flexibility and freedom a small organization could offer.
