Podcasts about Team effectiveness

Talent acquisition remains stuck in the past while organizations have drastically evolved. "We still hire like it's 1999," explains Leandro Cartelli, CEO of Lana Talent, highlighting a critical disconnect between modern business needs and outdated hiring practices.In this episode,  Dave and Peter explore with Leandro how successful teams are built through strategic cultural assessment rather than simple skill matching. The conversation reveals the difference between "cultural fit" and "cultural add," and how one retail company reduced their 80% turnover rate by half, saving millions through targeted assessment questions.Leandro breaks down why remote team success hinges on comprehensive onboarding (which drives 80% better retention) and intentional connection building beyond work tasks. Without deliberate efforts like virtual team activities and structured check-ins, remote work becomes "just a slogan" rather than a successful strategy.Key Takeaways:Culture encompasses both fit and add - assess how candidates navigate existing dynamics while bringing fresh perspectivesRemote work requires intentional investment - comprehensive onboarding and dedicated connection-building are non-negotiableTreat talent acquisition strategically - connect hiring with development plans and performance expectations for real business impact

In this episode of The Future of Teamwork, Dane Groeneveld interviews Jenna Cohen, Senior Vice President of Team Effectiveness at LEAD3R. They have a thoughtful discussion on the evolving role of organizational development and how effective teams are designed, not just built.Dane and Jenna explore why proactive planning and culture-setting are key to long-term success, how to create the right conditions for teams to thrive during change, and the importance of mid-level leadership and peer alignment in cross-functional work. Plus, Jenna shares innovative exercises for building strong team dynamics.Whether you're an executive, team leader, or just passionate about building healthier organizations, this episode offers insights on how to make team effectiveness a strategic advantage.

What if the greatest gift you could offer others wasn't advice—but presence?In this episode of Working Your Way, we sit down with Dr. Kristin Long, DPsa, LP, LCAT, a depth-oriented psychotherapist, drama therapist, and educator whose work centers on trauma, embodiment, and creative healing. Kristin brings a rich background in performance, psychology, and internal inquiry to explore what it means to truly be with ourselves and one another and to build her own diverse and fulfilling career.We talk about the projections and expectations we internalize from childhood, the lifelong process of unlearning them, and the difference between fixing and witnessing. Kristin shares how her own journey has shaped her ability to hold space with compassion and clarity. Whether you're a leader, a healer, or simply someone craving more connection, Kristin's grounded wisdom offers a reminder that healing doesn't come from knowing all the answers—it comes from learning how to stay.Resources:Learn more at https://www.kristinlongnyc.com/Connect with Kristin on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/klongnycListen - Episode 60.

Our return guest this week on the Faculty Factory Podcast is Adam D. Wolfe, MD, PhD. Dr. Wolfe shares with us some key communication strategies for better conflict resolution and team building, some of which can also assist with sharing life-altering information with patients in the clinic. The techniques outlined in this episode are designed to help prevent conflict and preserve interprofessional relationships when inevitable tensions arise. Dr. Wolfe is the Interim Division Chief of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at CHRISTUS Children's, affiliated with Baylor College of Medicine in San Antonio, and is also the Associate Professor of Pediatrics and the Program Director of the Pediatric Residency Program. Additionally, he serves as the Assistant Dean of Medical Education and holds the Jann L. Harrison Endowed Chair in Pediatric Graduate Medical Education. “If you start with goals, you can often end a lot of conflict by simply restating what it is you're all trying to accomplish,” Dr. Wolfe said. Not only do many of the strategies outlined in the interview work well with professional colleagues at work, but these same principles often apply to when you're talking to families in a clinical situation, as we learn in the latter stages of this interview. “Do whatever you can to preserve your interpersonal relationships. If you are in conflict, think about how you can preserve that relationship so that person can remain available to you and you can remain available to them… it's what makes this work rewarding,” Dr. Wolfe added.

BONUS: Beyond Individual Talent: 2 Leadership Myths We all Believed in with Arne Roock In this BONUS episode, we delve into the complexities of team effectiveness with Arne Roock, an experienced Agile consultant who has worked with organizations ranging from startups to large corporations. Arne shares his insights on what truly makes teams perform at their highest level, why simply assembling talented individuals isn't enough, and how organizations can move beyond the "feature factory" mindset to focus on outcomes and impact. The Myth of Individual Talent in Teams "A team of experts is not an expert team." Arne breaks down the common misconception that placing highly talented individuals together automatically creates a high-performing team. Drawing parallels from sports, he points to examples like the "Red Army" hockey team and the famous "Miracle on Ice," where team cohesion proved more valuable than individual star power. Through his consulting work, Arne observed that quick-fix workshops often produced short-term improvements but failed to create lasting change. Sometimes, teams even deteriorated after temporary interventions. This led him to Richard Hackman's work on team effectiveness, particularly the 60-30-10 rule: leaders should spend 60% of their time designing teams, 30% launching teams, and only 10% on coaching interventions. Coaching alone cannot change a team's trajectory without proper design and launch Leaders should engage with coaches at the beginning of team formation Teams need sufficient stability to achieve meaningful impact Existing teams can be relaunched or redesigned to improve performance In this segment, wer refer to Richard Hackman's 6 conditions for effective teams, and to Margaret Heffernan's Superchicken Paradox Ted Talk, and to the episode with Heidi Helfand about Re-teaming. Balancing Delivery Focus with Team Development "Organizations trends go in waves." Arne discusses the pendulum swing in organizational approaches, noting how Agile emerged as a countermovement to process-centric methodologies. Currently, he observes a strong emphasis on delivery, with many organizations repositioning Scrum Masters as delivery leads. This trend, while addressing immediate business needs, often undermines the fundamental team-building aspects of the Scrum Master role. Arne suggests that we need to find balance between delivery pressure and people-centered approaches, treating these as polarities to manage rather than problems to solve. In this segment, we refer to the book Polarity Management by  Barry Johnson, and to Arne's blog post about cross-functional teams. Moving Beyond the Feature Factory "Delivery manager will undermine team responsibility." When organizations want to shift from deadline-driven development to outcome-focused work, Arne recommends examining team design fundamentals first. He cautions that adding delivery managers won't fix teams that haven't been properly designed and launched. Most organizations operate as "feature factories," focusing on output rather than outcomes. Arne suggests two high-impact practices that can help teams deliver more value: Implementing meaningful sprint goals and effective sprint reviews Using OKRs with specific checks on value delivered, not just features completed Arne emphasizes that the Scrum Master role is a full-time position, and when they're pushed to prioritize delivery management, important team-building work gets neglected. Proper team design creates the foundation for shared delivery ownership without requiring additional management roles. In this segment, we talk about an article that explains how to use OKR's with a “value-check” included.  About Arne Roock Arne works as a consultant for Agile methods and (leadership) team effectiveness. As a trainer and coach he supported both startups and big corporations in different industries. For the past ten years he took a deep dive into the tech industry as an embedded coach with Jimdo and Spotify. You can link with Arne Roock on LinkedIn and connect with Arne Roock on Mastodon.

Zvonimir Durcevic: The Solution-Focused Retrospective for Agile Teams, Turning Problems Into Goals 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. Zvonimir defines Scrum Master success as being explicit and intentional about defining and achieving goals. He references Richard Hackmann's model of team effectiveness as a framework to evaluate whether he's helping teams become truly effective. For Zvone, success comes from creating structures that provide teams with feedback about their performance and being explicit about the team's purpose through practices like chartering. By focusing on these elements, Scrum Masters can help teams build the foundation for sustainable success. Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Problems Are Disguised Goals This solution-focused retrospective format, inspired by the work of Ralph Miata and Veronika Jungwirth, allows teams to briefly acknowledge problems before pivoting quickly to what they want to achieve instead. Zvonimir explains that while teams need space to express challenges, the format redirects energy toward envisioning a better future through solution-focused questions. The process includes validating problems, using scale questions (0-10) to assess current status, reviewing past attempts at reaching goals, and designing small experiments to move toward desired outcomes. This approach helps teams shift from problem-orientation to goal-orientation. Self-reflection Question: How might reframing your team's persistent problems as goals change your approach to addressing them? [Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Psychological safety isn't just a leadership buzzword—it's the foundation of strong, high-performing teams. When people feel safe to speak up, challenge ideas, admit mistakes, and contribute freely, they do better work. But too often, fear of judgment, rejection, or failure holds people back.In this episode, I break down:What psychological safety really is (and what it isn't)How to create the conditions for it to thrive on your teamWhat gets in the way of psychological safety—and how to fix itAs we dive into the barriers leaders face, we explore the four stages of psychological safety, share about why different people experience it in different ways, and highlight how personality differences can impact how we show up at work.When leaders build an environment where people feel safe to take risks and be themselves, teams become more creative, engaged, and effective. Listen in to learn how to create a culture that supports authenticity, inclusion, and great results—without burnout.

In this podcast recorded at Ogletree Deakins' national Workplace Strategies seminar, Director of Career Development Marcia Stokes, Ph.D., and Board Member Diana Nehro discuss how “behavioral styles” can impact trust and communication in addition to how employees and managers can leverage their styles and those of their team to minimize conflict and misunderstanding.

In this episode of the Psych in Business podcast, Dr. Ernest Wayde explores the intricacies of team effectiveness models specifically focusing on Richard Hackman's model. As a psychologist and researcher, Hackman emphasizes the importance of creating comprehensive systems for teams, transcending individual behaviors.Hackman posits that team leaders should prioritize five crucial conditions to enhance team effectiveness. These conditions are explored in-depth, with a primary emphasis on the team's behavior and perspective. The model's success is gauged by three key factors: the acceptability of the team's product to clients, the team's growth in capabilities, and the meaningful and satisfying group experience for its members.The first section of the five conditions centers on establishing a real team with clear boundaries and specific team authority. Dr. Wayde delves into the necessity of shared tasks, interdependence among team members, and the pitfalls of unbounded teams. The importance of stable membership and clear team boundaries is underscored to foster trust and communication.The second condition is a compelling direction for the team as resulting in energized and challenging work that is meaningful and well defined. This facilities orientation of all team members towards the same goal and direction. The third condition is enabling structure that supports the work of the team. This is achieved through having the right mix and size of the team, clear roles and responsibilities and established behavioral norms.The podcast concludes by addressing two external conditions crucial for team success—supportive organizational context and coaching/leadership. Adequate resources, recognition, feedback, and opportunities for learning are imperative, as is effective leadership that guides, supports, and manages conflicts constructively.You can visit his business website at: https://www.waydeconsulting.com/

The relationship ladder emphasizes engagement and includes steps such as civility, shared respect, psychological safety, and cohesion. On the other side, the functioning ladder centers around team effectiveness, incorporating steps like common purpose, role clarity, strategic communication, and review and improvement.Dr. Wayde discusses the significance of these steps in fostering a positive team environment, aligning team goals with the larger mission of the organization, and promoting open communication and strategic collaboration. He highlights the interdependence of psychological safety, communication, and overall team effectiveness.Additionally, Dr. Wayde introduces the VA Team Assessment, a valuable tool based on the model, designed to help teams evaluate their performance on these key dimensions. The assessment serves as a starting point for team discussions, fostering a shared understanding of strengths, challenges, and perspectives among team members.Listeners gain insights into practical applications of the VA model, with Dr. Wayde sharing his experiences using the team assessment for both executive and non-executive teams.
