Episode description

It's easy to spot weak company culture, isn't it? We've all witnessed the politics, egos, and backstabbing. That kind of toxic environment makes it hard to do good work and retain good people. But it's not so easy to pinpoint what makes a thriving company culture. What steps can we take to cultivate it with our current employees? How can we recruit and hire people who "get it?" To answer those questions, Donald Miller sits down with renowned business consultant Patrick Lencioni this week on the Building a StoryBrand podcast. Patrick shares the three characteristics of a great team member, plus practical ways you can help your team develop those traits. Your business can't reach its potential if your people don't reach theirs. What Patrick shares here will help you create a positive, authentic company culture that drives your overall business growth. http://buildingastorybrand.com/84
