In this episode of The IT Experts Podcast, we explore what it really takes to build a high performing team inside your MSP, and why so many leaders feel stuck when trying to get there. I am joined by an expert power panel featuring Zoe Chatley, Phylip Morgan, and Julie Hutchison, bringing together real world experience from leadership, recruitment, and growth to give you practical insight into how to move from confusion to clarity when building your team.     The conversation opens with a simple yet powerful truth. Every business is moving from one place to another. The challenge is that many MSP owners have not clearly defined where they are heading. As Phylip Morgan explains, leadership is about moving from here to there, and without that clarity, building a high performing team becomes difficult because no one truly knows what success looks like. Vision is not a corporate exercise. It is a practical tool that gives your team direction, confidence, and purpose.     Julie Hutchison brings this to life by highlighting that most leaders do have a vision, although it is often blurred. Many MSP owners stay on the hamster wheel of doing, without stopping to think about what they really want. Creating a high performing team starts with stepping back and defining a clear, specific outcome that your team can align with and work towards together.     Once that clarity is in place, everything begins to shift. A high performing team is not built through pressure or control. It is built through alignment. When your team understands where the business is going, they can make better decisions, take ownership, and move forward with confidence. This is where leadership becomes less about doing everything and more about guiding others to succeed.     A key theme throughout this episode is accountability. Julie Hutchison explains that accountability is not about pressure. It is about creating an environment where people know what is expected and feel supported to deliver it. A high performing team thrives when individuals are clear on their role, understand what good looks like, and have the confidence to take action within clear guide rails.     Phylip Morgan reinforces this by sharing the importance of clarity in expectations. When people know what is expected of them, have the right tools, and are given the opportunity to do what they do best, performance improves naturally. A high performing team is built on this foundation of clarity, communication, and trust.     Zoe Chatley adds a critical perspective from recruitment and team building. Many MSPs hire out of urgency rather than strategy, which makes it harder to build a high performing team. When you are clear on your vision, you can attract people who believe in what you are building. This creates stronger alignment, better retention, and a team that grows with your business over time.     The panel also highlights the importance of learning through experience. Building a high performing team is not about getting everything right the first time. It is about making informed decisions, learning from mistakes, and refining your approach as your business grows. With the right leadership mindset, these lessons become the foundation for long term success.     What stands out in this episode is how simple the fundamentals really are. Building a high performing team is not about complex frameworks. It is about clarity, consistency, and leadership that creates trust. When you combine these elements, you create a business where people want to contribute, grow, and succeed together.     If you are looking to build a high performing team in your MSP, this episode will help you focus on what truly matters. Start by getting clear on your direction, create the right environment for your people, and lead with intention.

Ontario's electricity demand will grow 65% by 2050, driven by electrification, data centers, population growth, and industrial expansion. Can the province meet the challenge?At this Empire Club Energy Series event, three of Ontario's foremost energy leaders—Lesley Gallinger (IESO), Nicolle Butcher (OPG), and Michele Harradence (Enbridge Gas)—join moderator Dr. Monica Gattinger to address that question with transparency and operational candor.Lesley Gallinger opens with Ontario's strategic position: rated normal risk for reliability while every neighboring Canadian and American system faces elevated or high risk for the decade ahead. That stability was operationally proven during January's polar vortex when Ontario exported power to struggling grids while maintaining domestic reliability. She introduces the energy quadrilemma—balancing reliability, affordability, sustainability, and economic growth—where trade-offs are inevitable and planning must be iterative.Nicolle Butcher emphasizes momentum as Ontario's differentiator. Darlington refurbishment delivered ahead of schedule and under budget. SMR construction is underway. Nuclear supply chain built through decades of continuous work now attracts international interest. The province is not starting infrastructure builds from scratch but accelerating from proven industrial capacity.Michele Harradence grounds the conversation in operational reality. During extreme cold, natural gas and nuclear combined delivered nearly 80% of electricity generation while gas simultaneously heated 15 million people directly. She calls for deeper coordination across sectors, moving from hope to certainty that integrated systems can handle peak demand.The panel explores regulatory speed, capital deployment certainty, supply chain resilience, labor force planning, and the cultural shift from siloed planning to transparent coordination. From environmental assessments for long-lead projects like Wesleyville to Major Project Identification Committees providing regional visibility, Ontario's planning processes are evolving to support economic growth rather than simply follow it.This conversation demonstrates why Ontario's energy sector is foundational to the province's economic future—and why planning discipline, execution speed, and cross-sector collaboration will determine whether potential converts to prosperity.Subscribe for more thought leadership from Canada's essential forum.

Operating conditions for supply chains continue to shift faster than most organizations can plan for. Labor pressures, evolving customer expectations, geopolitical uncertainty, and increasingly complex global networks are forcing leaders to rethink how decisions get made and how teams stay aligned when certainty is no longer guaranteed.In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton is joined by Mario Morhy, Vice President, Integrated Planning at Sam's Club, Mike Gomes, Vice President of Supply Chain North America at Perfetti Van Melle, and Rodrigo Alponti, Senior Vice President Global Supply Chain at STADA Group.
