Jenni delves into her journey from being an independent, ambitious leader to realizing that true success lies in fostering a collaborative and healthy team environment. They discuss the warning signs of a struggling culture, the importance of proactive maintenance, and why band-aid solutions like one-time staff events just don’t work.
