"The strength of any relationship is the speed of repair. In fleet leadership, trust isn’t optional—it’s the operating system."
📄 Episode Summary
In this raw and insightful solo episode, The Fleet Success Show host and RTA CEO Josh Turley shares a behind-the-scenes look into RTA’s latest executive planning offsite—and the deep leadership lessons that emerged.
Josh walks listeners through the three powerful trust-building exercises used during the session, all rooted in Patrick Lencioni’s framework from The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. These are not fluffy icebreakers—these are intentional, sometimes uncomfortable, but deeply transformative exercises that strengthen trust, foster accountability, and eliminate dysfunction from leadership teams.
Fleet managers, especially those leading multi-department teams or navigating difficult internal dynamics, will gain practical insight into how to build psychological safety, align on purpose, and create a culture where candid feedback is not only welcome—but expected.
Whether you’re dealing with drama in the shop, silos across departments, or a lack of accountability from your leadership team, this episode is packed with real-world, repeatable tactics to build cohesion from the inside out.
