“8 out of every 10 problems are sourced back to lack of open honest communication. That means 8 out of every 10 problems we’re faced with at work probably could have been fixed if we got that unsaid said.”

In this week’s episode, my special guest reminds us leaders how important it is to get the unsaid said with anyone, including the team that we work with.

In this conversation, we also discuss…
“Performing” teams VS “achieving” teams
Emotional Safety Not Psychological Safety
Essential elements of a consistently high-achieving team
Creating a consistent communication business rhythm
Being powerful and overcoming any situation no matter the circumstances
Leading in times of great ambiguity and change
Innovating daily in any environment
And more!
