Let's Talk Teams

Do you want to know why your team is struggling with their productivity? Michael and Chris talk about the importance of making sure your team understands why they're doing the work they do, and how it fits in in with the vision the team shares.

Show Notes

Without a clear answer to the questions "why are we doing this", and "how does why I am doing contribute to the vision my manager has", team members will flounder, lose motivation and experience decreased productivity. In this episode, Michael and Chris talk about how productivity is influenced heavily by the team's understanding of the "big picture".

What is Let's Talk Teams?

We couldn’t find the podcast on building great teams so we made our own to document and share what we're learning along the way. Let’s Talk Teams is a weekly show where we talk about leading, building, and contributing to great teams at work. Some episodes are a peek behind the curtain at the conversations we’re having at Uptick as our teams grow and adapt. Others will be interviews with managers or discussions about a recent blog post.
