EP#71 | How Great Teams Work Better Together PT. 2

Part one of my conversation with Adam and Larissa, co-founders of MakeTeamWork, discusses why a culture of trust and psychological safety is critical for creating successful teams. A talk regarding masculine and feminine cultures was one of the most intriguing aspects of our chat.   In a feminine society, the emphasis is on the quality of life and the people. While in a male society, competitiveness, accomplishment, and success are valued. A culture that pervades all institutions, especially schools. It's the difference between working to live and living to work.   The only way to ensure that everyone can contribute to uncovering and addressing issues, as well as seizing opportunities, is to ensure that everyone has access to a high-quality, equal education.   0:00 Introduction 1:33 Talking about Finland as an example of ' feminine'  education 4:40 What is the Quirky Owl program? 9:40 Why is it so hard to be authentic as a leader? 16:48.
