Let's Talk Teams

When team members are faced with a decision between working on a goal or working on something they know they have to do as a part of their ongoing responsibilities, the urgent or necessary things crucial to the team's success, they usually often make the right decision. In this episode we talk about that tension and how managers need to ensure their team members see the value in the work they're doing and the role they're filling.

When team members are faced with a decision between working on a goal or working on something they know they have to do as a part of their ongoing responsibilities, the urgent or necessary things crucial to the team's success, they usually often make the right decision. But in doing that, they can feel bad about not making progress on their long-term goals.

In this episode Michael and Chris talk about that tension and how managers need to ensure their team members see the value in the work they're doing and the role they're filling.

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.
