In this episode of Understaffed, Melissa conciergeelite.com welcomed Claire Chandler clairechandler.net as her guest. Claire is a corporate survivor who transitioned to entrepreneurship after being diagnosed with cancer and now works with leaders to help them resolve the collaboration conundrum and accelerate trust within their leadership teams through her Growth on Purpose approach.

Melissa and Claire discussed strategies for creating high-functioning teams on Understaffed. They both emphasized the importance of increasing self-awareness among leaders, accelerating trust across teams, and aligning around a shared purpose.

Claire also shared her insights on the importance of focusing on people first before worrying about performance and the crucial role of creating cultures of trust and transparency where employees feel comfortable bringing their full selves to work. She noted that existing cultures can often hold leaders hostage by making them too afraid of losing current staff members to make necessary changes or hire new talent.
