  • Balance Empathy with Accountability: A people-first culture doesn’t mean compromising on accountability. Matt and Chad discuss how holding individuals accountable can actually reinforce the team’s morale by keeping everyone aligned and focused on common goals.
  • Address Conflict Directly for Stronger Teams: Conflict avoidance can erode trust and productivity. Effective leaders lean into uncomfortable conversations and model healthy conflict resolution, strengthening team cohesion and organizational health.
