Business Challenge
Teamwork methods – everyone seems to have their opinion about what they prefer and what works best. The article, “What’s Keeping CEOs up at night,” finds that CEOs are incredibly concerned about the state of talent in their organizations. The collaborative nature of teams brings with it challenges and pitfalls that people working solo don’t face. Trust is the linchpin of creating a culture that attracts and retains top talent from all backgrounds. However, few companies are exceeding in this area. Only 32% of employees say they trust senior leaders at their organization to do what is right. Yikes!
