4 team habits that are holding you back (and what to do instead)

This week, Helen and Sarah shine a light on the unhelpful habits that teams often slip into without even realising it.

From meetings that drag on autopilot to one-to-ones that don’t deliver what you need, these routines can waste time, reduce energy, and stop people from working at their best. In this episode, they share the four most common team traps and practical alternatives to try instead.

You’ll learn how to spot unhelpful routines, reset them without blame, and create new habits that help your team feel more energised, inclusive, and effective.
