784 Wendy Appel: Build a Great Team Culture
How to Be an Inspiring Leader
What makes a great team culture?
It starts with who you are being as a leader.
Too many entrepreneurs fall into the trap of hiring people like themselves, which may be comforting but it’s bad for business.
The best business leaders find a way to create inclusive and collaborative cultures, bringing together in a singular mission or purpose people diverse in background, gender, race, experience, skills, and perspectives.
It requires a founder or CEO to hone their curiosity, empathy and listening skills, give meaningful voice to their team, and truly embrace each team member holistically as a human beyond their specific work function.
Wendy Appel helps startups and Fortune 1000s alike build high functioning teams by tapping into the wisdom, creativity, and vitality inherent within – within you, and within your team.
Wendy is a founding partner of Trilogy Effect, a leadership development and executive coaching consulting firm, author of InsideOut Enneagram: The Game Changing Guide for Leaders, and host of the podcast Being Human is Good for Business.
