S1E13 - Co-Elevation – Beyond Collaboration to Lifting Each Other Higher
Manage episode 520166458 series 3701877
In this final driver of the Vision to Results framework, Glenn Price and Terry Reynolds explore the idea of co-elevation — the step beyond collaboration that separates competent teams from truly high-performing ones. For years the model used “collaboration” as the twelfth driver, until they realised collaboration often just means sharing the work. Co-elevation is something very different. It’s when leaders actively lift each other, tap into one another’s strengths, and collectively raise the performance of the organisation, creating the kind of momentum where one plus one genuinely becomes three.
Throughout the episode, Glenn and Terry unpack why staying in your swim lane limits progress, and why the best teams think like business leaders first and technical specialists second. They explore how trust, vulnerability and positive intent underpin co-elevation, and share real examples of executive teams who walk into meetings as “the leadership team”, not as heads of separate functions. They also lean into the importance of honest, in-the-room conversations, where challenge is seen as a contribution, not a threat.
You’ll hear practical guidance on how to lead across as well as down, how to make peer-to-peer challenge normal, how to reward wins that cross boundaries, and how choosing to trust quickly can create remarkable speed across the whole organisation.
