EP 193 | Cultivate the Teams You D.R.E.A.M. About | Dr. Joey Faucette
Episode summary
How do you cultivate a Work Positive team culture when nearly 4 out of 5 people on your team are somewhere between going through the motions and actively working against you? How do you create a team so strong that people line up to join it, refuse to leave it, and do their best work inside it? Dr. Joey Faucette unveils his groundbreaking D.R.E.A.M. Teams framework for cultivating the teams you dream about leading. You discover how to define your culture on purpose, place the right people in the right seats, elevate courage, attend to each person, and magnify their strengths.
Listen as Dr. Joey explores:
☀️ Why managers account for 70% of the variance in team engagement and why that variance costs the global economy $438 billion in lost productivity annually
☀️ How a single misaligned leader, operating without self-awareness, can poison an entire culture one drop at a time and how a single intentional leader can transform it
☀️ Why top talent are the best evaluators in the room and why they often choose to work for a different company than yours
☀️ How fear paralyzes teams in communication, career progression, and innovation and how courage is the antidote that unlocks potential
☀️ Why people who felt seen, heard, and led suddenly felt none of those things when leaders stopped checking in during the pandemic
Dr. Joey transforms how you think about team culture by proving that as you apply the D.R.E.A.M. framework, you create a culture where people feel clearly led, rightly placed, bravely heard, personally seen, and genuinely celebrated.
