Finding the Right Leadership Topics for DTEC Audiences
Here is a collection of potential topics for 45-60min session each. We will add more as we narrow down to topics of most value.
Is Your Team Truly Investable?
Working Genius & the Hidden Side of Startup Due Diligence
When investors say they "bet on the team," what exactly are they looking for—and how can your startup actually demonstrate it?
In this session, you will explore the "team" side of due diligence: what makes a leadership team truly investable beyond pitch decks, financials, and product demos. Using Patrick Lencioni's Six Types of Working Genius as a practical lens, you will map where your founding or leadership team might have critical gaps or untapped strengths. You will walk away with a clearer language and simple tools to talk about your team with investors, as well as concrete ideas for strengthening collaboration, trust, and execution inside your startup.

Creating a Winning Leadership Team
The Five Dysfunctions Framework & Building Organizational Health
Your leadership is only as strong as your leadership team. No one wins alone—people lose alone.
In our previous session, you learned how to assemble the right people using Working Genius. Now the question shifts: you have your team—how do you make them truly exceptional? You will explore the Five Dysfunctions of a Team and map the cascade from absent trust to artificial harmony, weak commitment, and avoided accountability. You will walk away with a practical framework to diagnose where your leadership team struggles and concrete actions to rebuild trust and shared accountability.
