Fix the Friction That’s Slowing Your Team Down
High-performing teams don’t fail from lack of talent. They stall from misalignment.
At Russo Leadership, we help you reset the underlying structure—so trust deepens, ownership holds, and execution flows.
What You’re Feeling Is a System Issue. Not a People Problem
When teams start to drift, here’s what it often looks like:
Roles overlap or fall through the cracks
Feedback feels unsafe, personal, or unclear
Meetings waste time instead of driving clarity
Conflict gets buried—or blows up
Collaboration feels heavy, not high-functioning
Most teams don’t need another offsite.
They need a pressure-informed leadership system.
What We Solve
Every program is built to address real, functional breakdowns—not deliver insights that fade by Monday.
We focus on four common friction points—and resolve them at the root.
DiSC® Workplace
Problem: Miscommunication, relational static, friction
Solution: Establishes a shared language for how people operate, connect, and collaborate
Best for: Teams who want to stop taking things personally and start working better together
DiSC® Productive Conflict
Problem: Conflict that’s avoided, reactive, or mismanaged
Solution: Teaches teams how to engage tension directly—with clarity, candor, and control
Best for: Teams that tiptoe around issues or blow past them without resolution
The Five Behaviors® Team Development
Problem: Low trust, unclear commitments, accountability gaps
Solution: Builds the foundations that hold under pressure: trust, conflict, commitment, accountability, and results
Best for: Intact teams ready to operate with full alignment
The 6 Types of Working Genius®
Problem: Energy drains, burnout, and unclear fit
Solution: Maps where team energy thrives or stalls—then aligns roles to strengths
Best for: Fast-moving teams struggling with hidden execution drag
Every Experience Includes:
Pre-assessments and friction diagnostics
Custom team reports and behavior reports
Live facilitation (virtual or in-person)
Action planning for sustained change
How You Know It’s Time for a Reset:
Team members misread each other often
Feedback is feared, softened, or skipped
Ownership is fuzzy—work gets duplicated or dropped
Meetings spin but don’t land
Execution feels harder than it should
If you’re seeing these symptoms, don’t wait for it to show up in retention, engagement, or delivery.
Let’s fix it now—before it costs you more.
What Teams Recover:
A shared language for collaboration under pressure
Feedback and conflict fluency—not just tolerance
Trust that’s not fragile, but functional
Clear roles, clean execution, and faster decisions
