Episode 137: How to Build a Kick-Ass Team with Claudia St. John
We are an industry that rests on two pillars:
A strong interdependency: we rely on an incredibly complex supply chain
We rely on a complex form of ingenuity: we take a product that anyone can get and with our unique clients, and with a talented team, transform those products into an experience that no one else can emulate - all while under intense deadlines
That degree of complexity -between the ideation process and the supply chain- requires a diverse and talented group of people working in harmony.
How do we ensure we are building the absolute best teams? How do hire better? Onboard better? Retain and motivate better? And how do we get our teams working better together? After all, your clients hire you to come up with the best ideas.
