About this episode

The episode explores how to build high-performing teams through human-centric approaches and daily behaviors.

What does a high-performing team actually look like, and how do you build one in a way that feels human, not forced? In this episode of Stopgap Talks , Sarah Windsor is joined by Matt Turner - founder, speaker and coach - to explore the reality behind building teams that deliver both performance and meaning.
