Leadership, Morale, and Evidence-Based Agility: A Reflection

Writer: Sarah GruneisenSarah Gruneisen

Today was a day of inspiration and learning. I had the privilege of participating in two powerful events that reinforced the vital connection between leadership and team effectiveness.


🔥 First, I was inspired by Remco Nabuurs’ presentation during our company’s leadership training. One slide stood out, in particular: the emphasis on creating value by aligning mission, technology, compliance, finance, and, most importantly, people. Leadership is about empowering teams, building trust, and creating high-belonging environments to unlock their potential.


🔥 Second, I attended a workshop and meetup led by Christina Mumm and Barry Overeem, where Christina shared how The LEGO Group leverages scientific research to improve team and organizational effectiveness. Key takeaways:


💚 Team effectiveness is driven by psychological safety, shared goals, and team autonomy.

💚👉 Data should never be a tool for control or punishment - it’s a conversation starter.

💚 Leadership’s role is foundational in supporting team morale and continuous improvement.

Much like a dragon guarding its treasure, great leaders protect the psychological safety of their teams. But unlike the hoarding dragon of myths, these leaders don’t keep this treasure to themselves; they share it, nurture it, and grow it collaboratively with their teams. After all, a team that feels safe and valued is a team that can soar to unimaginable heights.


As a leader and coach, I find these insights profoundly validating. Both events highlighted a shared truth: great teams don’t thrive by accident. It takes intentionality, support, and a willingness to use evidence-based practices to empower teams and create real value for employees and customers alike.


❤️‍🔥 What are your thoughts on using data to improve team effectiveness? Have you seen examples where it’s been used unethically or as a catalyst for growth?


Let’s keep the conversation going; after all, leadership and agility are journeys, not destinations.
