In this episode of The Brad Hook Podcast, we are joined by Lloyd Fickett, the founder of The Collaborative Way (https://collaborativeway.com/). Lloyd shares his wisdom on building extraordinary teams through collaboration, respect, and a small set of practices that enhance how people work together. This conversation dives deep into the core principles of The Collaborative Way, a methodology that has been transforming workplaces for over 30 years, making them more productive and fulfilling.

Lloyd also discusses the importance of listening generously, speaking straight, being for each other, honoring commitments, and appreciation as foundational practices to success in both business and personal life. Tune in to learn how these practices not only improve company culture but also spill into people’s lives outside the workplace.

Notable Quotes:

• “To be extraordinary as a team, it’s not enough that individuals are extraordinary. It’s about how we work together.”
• “We’re not just listening generously for the sake of it, we’re listening generously to move forward, accomplish our mission, our vision, our objectives.”
• “It’s not just about what we achieve, but how we achieve it.”
