Ray Patchett (Part 2) High performing teams and organizations
Description
Today I meet with Ray Patchett for Part 2 of our conversation about organization teams and performance.
In this episode, we delve into the topic of bureaucracy and its impact on organizations. We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of bureaucratic structures and how they can either enhance or hinder results. Our conversation transitions to exploring key traits of successful teams, managing transitions, polarization, and conflict resolution. Tune in for an insightful discussion on navigating organizational dynamics for optimal performance.
