MAXIMIZING TEAM POTENTIAL

With John Hagel and Tracey Grose 

September 15, 2026

8:00–9:00am Pacific  /  11:00am–12:00pm Eastern  /  17:00–18:00 CET

For leaders looking to boost team potential, adaptability, and accelerated learning. 

During this 1-hour online discussion, John Hagel will talk about how corporate leaders can grow a team's potential by helping them move beyond fear-based thinking to embrace opportunity-driven calls to action, and turn collaboration into a powerful cycle of experimentation, action and learning.


Participants will take home new perspectives on the role emotion plays in maximizing team and organizational potential as well as actionable insights and practices to help take their teams to the next level.


This talk will provide an introduction to the Center for Growth's upcoming in-person and online programming tailored for corporate leaders who seek to tap into greater depths of their team's potential and achieve greater results. 


 In this session you will: 

  • Recognize the narrative your organization is currently living
  • Explore how you can shape a team and organizational narrative around an exciting opportunity
  • Explore methods for turning collaboration into a powerful cycle of experimentation, action and learning
  • Better understand the role emotion plays in maximizing team and organizational potential
  • Gain insight into what the In-Depth Programs with John Hagel can offer


 The guidance and insights were powerful, the format was quite engaging and actionable on the spot, building new relationships in a safe environment. 

Jack Stephenson, Senior Advisor, McKinsey & Company

You see the disruption. But do you also see the opportunity?

 Whether driven by AI transformation or geopolitical disruption, uncertainty is increasing. How do we position our teams and ourselves for success in disruptive times? As leaders, what do our teams need today to achieve their potential? 


What we need are proven practices for turning fear and uncertainty into excitement, connection, and accelerated learning in order to achieve success.


How do we position ourselves for success in disruptive times? How do we recognize the power of emotion in combination with skills and intellect?


We live in cultures where expressing fear is treated as a sign of weakness. Fear of uncertainty can surface in the form of frustration, objection and rigidity.

Fear shortens your time horizon. It makes you more cautious, less inclined to trust other people, and more convinced you have to handle big challenges on your own.


You will have practical exercises and time to talk with John directly and with other participants.


What the hour is

One hour, live online, with John Hagel. $60, applied to your first full program.


John Hagel introduces the Three Pillars, the framework he has built over four decades of work with leaders and organizations. There are exercises. There is time to talk with John directly, and with the other people in the room.

Pillar 1 Opportunity Narratives

Pillar 2 Passion of the Explorer

Pillar 2 Passion of the Explorer

The story you tell yourself about the future. Is it mostly threat, or mostly opportunity? And how can you communicate an exciting opportunity that will attract others to help you achieve it?

Pillar 2 Passion of the Explorer

Pillar 2 Passion of the Explorer

Pillar 2 Passion of the Explorer

A specific kind of passion that researchers find in people and teams who can sustain extreme performance improvement. It combines a sustained drive toward more impact in something that genuinely matters to you, an appetite for unexpected challenges, and an instinct to reach out to others for help.

Pillar 3 Power of Platforms

Pillar 2 Passion of the Explorer

Pillar 3 Power of Platforms

How do we accelerate learning for ourselves and our teams in a changing world? An impact group is a trust-based group of 3-15 people who are driven to act and learn toward achieving an important outcome. Within a group, each person learns at a far more rapid pace than alone. When these groups connect into networks, learning can spread exponentially.

What you leave with

An hour of applied work, and specifically:

New clarity on the power of existing narratives and the ability to shape them

New understanding for your own innate resource for fueling your focus and commitment and how to connect with others to achieve the impact you desire

New understanding for the architecture and methods for accelerated learning through action and experimentation

Practice with proven methods for sustaining momentum and progress

A sense for what the 3-Day In-Depth Programs could offer you
