Join Leon, Dean, and Paul in this enlightening podcast, where they guide you on the path to recognising and conquering sources of drama and gossip that have the potential to undermine your team dynamics and relationships.

This principle applies to all circles of influence and is crucial for optimal performance. However, it holds particularly true for you as a leader and your team. Creating an expectation where individuals are encouraged to address issues directly with the person involved is one of the best things you can do for your company culture.

Empower your people with tools to express their thoughts and experiences constructively. Reinforce the idea that it is everyone's responsibility to act as a Firewall when approached with an issue about someone else. By advocating for the highest possible good of your team and its members, you demonstrate respect by addressing differences directly.

Tune in and prepare to enhance your communication skills and foster a healthier environment for collaboration!
