Episode Details

Your studio's brand isn't your name, logo or aesthetics—it's your people. That means if your team isn't performing at its highest level, neither is your business.

To fix what's wrong, Alina Cooper and Matt Hanton break down Patrick Lencioni's Five Dysfunctions of a Team in Episode 731: The Anatomy of a High-Performing Studio Team.

• Build a strong foundation: foster vulnerability-based trust so people feel connected

• Reframe conflict: invite honest, productive debate to drive better outcomes

• Cultivate commitment: establish alignment by explaining the why and consequences 

• Implement accountability: set expectations and create a culture of ownership

• Highlight results: paint the big picture; share collective goals, targets and data

You don't have to tackle all five dysfunctions at once. Start with trust as the base. And be patient—change doesn't happen overnight. Adopt a proven framework in Episode 731. 

Catch you there,
