Many companies today have studied Patrick Lencioni’s The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, but few that I have come across have implemented it in a permanent, sustainable way. I am excited to present Matt Wool, CEO of Acceleration Partners as his company is one of the few who have. In 2012, he was the 4th employee of the company who now has well over 300 employees. During his time there, he has been a large driver of their success including numerous placements on the Inc 500 and awards for Best Places to work in Forbes and Glassdoor. This episode is full of how we can improve communication, vulnerability, self-awareness, collaboration, accountability and more within our organization.

 

What You’ll Learn:

 

• Creating a culture of accountability
• Encouraging collaboration as a 100% virtual company
• How Matt models vulnerability for his team
• Strategies to becoming more self-aware and how you are being perceived as a leader
• How to foster connection within your team
• Why initiatives don’t stick and what to do about it
