Ultimately, we agreed - it's the small moments, genuine conversations, and intentional focus on people that create workplaces where everyone can thrive.If you're passionate about leadership, management, and nurturing working environments where people perform at their best, this discussion offers fresh, practical insights you can take away today.More about Battling with Business:In the Battling with Business podcast, Gareth Tennant, a former Royal Marines Officer, and Chris Kitchener, a veteran of the software development world, explore ideas and concepts around teams and teamwork, leaders and leadership, and all things in between.

Vanessa Druskat: The Emotionally Intelligent Team Vanessa Druskat is an associate professor at the Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics at the University of New Hampshire. She advises leaders and teams at over a dozen Fortune 500 and Fortune Global 500 companies and wrote the best-selling Harvard Business Review article (with S. Wolff) on emotionally intelligent teams that has been chosen many times for inclusion in HBR's most valued articles. She is the author of The Emotionally Intelligent Team: Building Collaborative Groups that Outperform the Rest (Amazon, Bookshop)*. It's easy to assume that a good start for a great team is getting the smartest people together. That does help, but it's not the critical factor in whether a team performs. In this conversation, Vanessa and I discuss why the word belonging makes such a difference. Key Points Raw talent of the individual and their own interpersonal skills don't predict team performance. Belonging is critical for team performance. Leaders often miss this because they already feel like they belong. Team members understanding each other is the first and most critical norm. Beginning meetings with check-ins or gallery walks helps people understand each other, even if it's not discussed extensively. Inviting people to bring everyday objects to illustrate a more complex point helps make understanding accessible. The leader sets the tone, but it's the interaction between team members that makes the difference.

In this edition of Connected Leadership Bytes, Andy Lopata returns to the archives for a classic conversation with Goldie Sayers, Olympic bronze medalist and former Team GB Captain. Goldie draws powerful parallels between the high-stakes world of elite sport and the challenges of corporate leadership. She explains the necessity of creating a support team where every expert understands their role in the service of a single, clear goal—a principle she believes many businesses overlook. Drawing on her experience captaining a team of individualistic athletes to huge success, Goldie discusses how to manage maverick talent, foster a team bond without stifling individuality, and unite everyone behind a common purpose. She also speaks candidly about navigating career-defining adversity, including the emotional impact of receiving her Olympic medal 11 years later due to a rival's doping violation. Goldie emphasises the importance of planning your next move by building a network before you need it. This episode is a masterclass in resilience, team dynamics, and navigating profound career transitions, offering invaluable lessons for leaders in any field. Key Takeaways Alignment Over Expertise: A team of brilliant but siloed experts is ineffective. True high performance comes when every member communicates and works in unison toward a single, clearly defined goal. Clarity is a Superpower: Unlike elite sport where the objective is crystal clear (e.g., the Olympics), businesses often suffer from a lack of purpose-clarity. When team members don't know what they're collectively pulling towards, productivity and morale suffer. Manage the Individual, Lead the Team: Leading high-performing individuals requires a delicate balance. It's crucial to set clear boundaries and a team code of conduct while allowing individuals the flexibility to work in the way that best suits them. Plan for Transition Early: Career transitions are an emotional journey, not just a practical one. The most successful transitions are gradual and well-planned, supported by a diverse network and mentors who have navigated similar paths. Adversity Requires Forward Focus: When faced with setbacks like injury or injustice, dwelling on the past is counterproductive. The key to resilience is to acknowledge the disappointment, learn from it, and immediately shift focus to the next goal.

5 Habits of High Performing TeamsWhat makes some teams do exceptionally well, and others perform poorly? Do they have more talented team members, better resources, or are they simply being lucky?Teams that stand out are not more talented, better skilled, or have greater opportunities. What sets them apart are their habits and practices.Empowering work culture, support from leaders in the organization, and clarity of vision and goals are important, but they're insufficient to drive excellence and high performance in teams.Building extraordinary workplaces with high-performing teams requires more than hiring the right talent and equipping them with the right opportunities. It requires cultivating the right habits and incorporating them into daily work and life.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

For most of us, workplace engagement isn't a solo sport—it's a team one. The ADP (yes, the payroll people) Research Institute's study across 19 countries found that most of us, regardless of company size, are immersed in team life. In companies of 150 or more employees, 82% of employees work on teams, and nearly 3/4ths juggle more than one team. Even if your employer has fewer than 20 people, 2/3rds of us are teaming up on one, two or even three teams. This matters: team membership doubles our odds of scoring high on Gallup's engagement metrics, with this research concluding that the sweet spot belonging is being on five distinct teams. It is not just the number of teams, but whether we trust the team leader that can make us 12 times more likely to be fully engaged. Let's go back to the holy grail of Google's Project Aristotle, which took team-obsession to a new level.  Google spent twp years studying 180 teams to crack the high-performing team code. They discovered that talent and resources aren't the magic ingredients—they're just the gravy. The meat and potatoes or tofu and rice for the team? Psychological safety—the freedom to speak up, take risks, and make mistakes without fear of public humiliation. It turns out, when people feel safe to contribute, they get bold, creative, and collaborative.  Leaders create psychological safety with dependability, structure and clarity, meaning, and impact.  McKinsey's research builds on this, showing that effective teams come in different “archetypes.” A cycling team is like a NASCAR pit crew—specialized, coordinated, but with independent metrics. Agile software teams are more like relay squads—high interdependence and shared outcomes, where dropped balls ripple through the race. Surgical teams? Think rowing crew—total synchronicity, clearly defined roles, and an unshakable sense of belonging.   To truly hum, teams need to tend to their “health drivers,” grouped into four areas. Configuration means having the right roles and perspectives. Alignment is clarity on purpose and shared commitment. Execution covers collaboration, communication, decision making, and feedback. Renewal—the often-overlooked one—ensures long-term sustainability through belonging, psychological safety, recognition, and trust. Not every team needs to nail all of the team health drivers - of the 17 identified health drivers even top performing teams are only “very good” at about 11, which is like a C-! Four health drivers stand out as the performance heavyweights: trust, communication, innovative thinking, and decision making.  Much of this is what we know - what is surprising is that just getting some of the elements that create healthy and effective teams right is a game-changer in the workplace.

Somya Mehra: How Upper Management Can Destroy a High-Performing Team in Minutes Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. While working as a business analyst at a startup building an exam evaluation product for universities, Somya witnessed a well-functioning team with good collaboration and timely delivery. However, upper management began challenging the team lead and Scrum Master, accusing the team of padding story points. When leadership confronted the team, the tech lead threw the entire team under the bus, breaking all trust. The CEO's declaration that he could detect padding in estimates shattered the relationship between developers and leadership, leading team members to want to leave. Featured Book of the Week: Agile Retrospectives by Larsen and Derby Somya recommends "Agile Retrospectives" by Larsen and Derby because doing Scrum right means doing retrospectives right. As someone who wanted to excel as a retro facilitator, she found this book invaluable due to its excellent reviews and practical examples. The book provides several examples of how to facilitate retrospectives effectively, making it her go-to recommendation for Scrum Masters wanting to improve their retrospective facilitation skills.

Authentic Leadership and People-First Culture with Chris Robinson of Maxwell LeadershipIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge speaks with Chris Robinson, Executive Vice President of the Maxwell Leadership Institute and founder of chrisrobinsonspeaker.com. Chris shares a transformative approach to leadership rooted in authenticity, empathy, and personal connection. This episode explores how leaders can foster a culture that retains talent, inspires teams, and builds lasting impact by putting people first.Leadership That Connects: How to Build Culture Through Trust and CareChris Robinson believes that effective leadership comes down to three critical questions every team member asks: Can I trust you? Can you help me? Do you care for me? When leaders can genuinely answer “yes” to all three, they foster deeper relationships and stronger organizational cultures. Building trust starts with transparency and consistency, while being helpful means actively supporting team growth with resources, guidance, and encouragement. Most importantly, caring for your team goes beyond metrics—it requires recognizing their aspirations, listening to their concerns, and showing genuine appreciation.The cost of poor leadership, Chris warns, is high—and turnover is just the beginning. Financial losses, low morale, and declining productivity often stem from leaders who fail to connect or invest in their people. He recommends using a “retention calculator” to understand the true cost of losing a team member and encourages proactive practices like stay interviews and real-time feedback to keep teams engaged. Leaders who create a safe, responsive environment ultimately retain top talent and reduce disruption.To build a sustainable, people-first leadership culture, Chris uses tools like the “My Favorite Things” survey—gathering personal insights about team members' interests, motivators, and milestones. Recognizing employees in small but meaningful ways—like remembering birthdays or rewarding them with their favorite treat—creates a culture of appreciation. Consistency is key: leaders must model the behavior they expect, train mid-level managers to do the same, and build common language and values across the organization using proven frameworks like those from John Maxwell.About Chris RobinsonChris Robinson is the Executive Vice President of the Maxwell Leadership Institute, an international speaker, coach, and entrepreneur. He empowers leaders to grow personally and professionally by equipping them with actionable leadership tools and people-first principles that drive real results.About Maxwell LeadershipMaxwell Leadership provides proven leadership development programs based on the teachings of John C.

So, you've built a team… but you're still the one putting out fires, making all the decisions, and carrying the whole business on your back.That's because most leadership models are built top-down. The founder makes the calls. The team waits for direction. And over time, the business becomes more dependent on you—not less.Keith Ferrazzi has spent two decades helping leaders break out of that trap. After coaching thousands of teams and running 3,000+ diagnostics, he found that leadership alone isn't enough. The highest-performing organizations operate through teamship—a shift from hierarchy to shared ownership, where teams push each other higher and drive results together.You might recognize Keith from his bestselling books like Never Eat Alone or Leading Without Authority. His latest book, Never Lead Alone, breaks down the 10 key shifts that help teams lead together, instead of leaning on one person to carry the load.In this episode, we get into what those shifts look like in real life. From peer-to-peer coaching to energy checks to open feedback loops, Keith shares the simple practices that help your team show up, take ownership, and lead alongside you—not behind you.3 of the biggest insights from Keith…#1.) The Peer Coaching Framework That Unlocked 50% Growth at MerrillKeith's 5-5-5 peer-to-peer coaching model helped Merrill Lynch advisors boost net new accounts by 50%—not through top-down management, but by creating safe, structured peer groups that crowdsource solutions and accelerate breakthroughs. It's a repeatable system any advisory team can implement to grow faster and smarter.#2.) Stop Leading Alone—Start Co-ElevatingKeith's newest book, Never Lead Alone, flips traditional leadership on its head. Instead of top-down command, he shows how elite teams grow faster when they hold each other accountable, run energy checks, and give honest feedback without fear. This is how teams co-elevate—and outperform.#3.) Why AI Will Replace Advisors Who Don't EvolveKeith doesn't sugarcoat it—AI is coming for the average advisor. But for those willing to lean in, it's a multiplier. Learn how to become a “black belt” in AI, build smarter communities, and use technology to deepen—not replace—your human relationships.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/127FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: Get copies of Keith's book, "Never Eat Alone" AND "Never Lead Alone" [while supplies last]To get access to today's free gift AND become a DBDL Insider with VIP access to future resources and exclusive content, text "127" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.
