It’s never been more important to reinvent the way we lead teams. That old-school fear-based way of doing things is so 2018…or should we say 1818?
The chemical reactions in our brains impact results and how we work together. Being afraid of the boss, office politics, or crisis culture is not a positive environment.

If you’re looking to inspire innovation, set the tone with language that sets the stage for growth, development, and authenticity. This allows space for learning and experimenting.
