You booked the retreat. You ran the workshop. The team smiled.

But the next week? The same issues.

In today’s episode of Leadership in 5, James Mayhew shows why that happens—and how real team building happens where the work is done.

No gimmicks. No retreats. Just clarity, consistency, and a way of working the team can use all week long.

Show Notes

You’ll Learn:
