In this episode of Misbehave, we explore why understanding behaviour is the key to effective team management.

We break down why skills alone aren’t enough. Great managers must grasp the deeper behavioural patterns that drive team dynamics.

We discuss the subconscious nature of behaviour, why personality profiling tools often miss the mark, and how self-awareness can transform a manager’s approach. You’ll also learn how to challenge "like me" bias, identify dominant behaviours in your team, and adapt your leadership style for better results.

This episode is packed with actionable insights for managers who want to lead with impact and build high-performing teams.
