In episode 2, we explore “teams.” A jumping off point for the discussion is Google’s findings on successful teams: 1) Dependability, 2) Structure and clarity, 3) Meaning, 4) Impact, and 5)Psychological Safety. Joining Dr. Z is Mitch Pisik, an Award Winning Executive Coach, Business Consultant, and Professional Speaker to talk about teams. Mitch has worked with, coached and consulted with over a hundred Executives in dozens of industries. He has also been CEO of 4 different companies, in 4 industries, in 3 states.

- Dependability.
Team members get things done on time and meet expectations.
- Structure and clarity.
High-performing teams have clear goals, and have well-defined roles within the group.
- Meaning.
The work has personal significance to each member.
- Impact.
The group believes their work is purposeful and positively impacts the greater good.

- Psychological Safety.
