Building Global Teams That Actually Work with Adam O’Connor


Listen Later

Join host Karl Pontau as he sits down with Adam O'Connor, Chief Commercial Officer at Gear Inc., for a refreshingly honest conversation about what it really takes to build successful international teams.

What You'll Discover:

  • The "outcomes over people" management philosophy that's helped Adam scale teams across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific
  • Why that cringe-worthy story about his team member doing a terrible English accent taught him everything about servant leadership
  • The AI reality check: Why those flashy sales automation tools are failing (and what actually works)
  • How to give your global team members the autonomy they need while keeping everyone rowing in the same direction
  • The secret to building teams that run smoothly even when you're on vacation

Perfect For:

Leaders managing remote or international teams, anyone curious about servant leadership, or entrepreneurs looking to scale globally without losing their sanity.

Bottom Line: It's not about controlling how people work—it's about empowering them to achieve the outcomes that matter. Because whether your business is B2B or B2C, it's really H2H: human to human.
