Lead with Levity

Ep. 115 Exploring Team Dynamics and Culture

Hey there, podcast fam! I’m super excited to announce our latest episode featuring the incredible Dr. Heather Walker, founder of Lead with Levity with our host System and Soul. 

In this episode, we dive deep into team dynamics, culture, and overall health in the workplace. Dr. Walker, an organizational psychologist, brings her expertise and passion for creating positive work environments to the table. Trust me, you don’t want to miss this one! 

Here are my top three takeaways from the episode:  

1️⃣ The Power of Positive Energy: Dr. Walker’s aura is infectious! From the moment we connected, it was clear that she has a zeal for life and brings that positive energy into her work. It’s a great reminder that positivity can have a profound impact on our leadership and business.

2️⃣ Balancing Principles and Prescription: Leadership is not just about following a set of rules or strategies. Dr. Walker emphasizes the importance of focusing on principles rather than strict prescriptions. It’s about having those meaningful coaching conversations, while also incorporating lighthearted touchpoints to communicate important matters that may slip through the cracks.

3️⃣ Building Trust: Trust is the foundation of any successful team. Dr. Walker highlights the four gates of trust: respect, intentions, and competence. These questions, whether conscious or subconscious, play a crucial role in building trust within a team. It’s a reminder to leaders to prioritize trust-building in their interactions.
