Sharon sits down with Karrie Brazaski, Fractional COO of Redwood Executive Coaching.

Karrie shares that in order to create a successful team, it is essential to foster a culture where it is okay to ask for help. When team members feel comfortable asking for assistance, they are more likely to feel invested in the team and its success. Additionally, teamwork becomes more efficient when everyone feels able to contribute their own skills and abilities. Asking for help also allows team members to build trust and rapport with one another, which can further enhance teamwork. Ultimately, by creating a culture where it is okay to ask for help, teams can become more cohesive and successful.

Sharon sits down with Retired Lieutenant Colonel Oakland McCulloch, Author of Your Leadership Legacy. 

LTC(R) McCulloch shares that it takes more than just one person to build a great company or organization- it takes teamwork. And, of course, every team needs a leader. A good leader is responsible for two things: having a vision for where they want the organization to go and creating a culture that will support that vision.

In other words, a leader needs to be able to see the big picture and then rally people around a shared set of values in order to make that picture a reality. It's no easy task, but it's certainly an essential one.

Sharon sits down with Executive Leadership Coach & Owner of Kempire Consulting, Kareen Mossad.  Kareem shares how transparent communication helps to create role clarity and a clear vision for teams. 

In any workplace, teamwork is essential for achieving common goals. However, teamwork can only be successful if there is clear communication between team members. That's why transparency is so important in the workplace. When everyone is on the same page, it's easier to identify roles and responsibilities. Furthermore, a shared vision helps teams to work together more effectively. By communicating openly and transparently, Kareem has found that businesses can create a more cohesive environment and achieve greater success.
