What separates a winning team from those who simply get by? Surprisingly, it isn’t star talent, IQ, or even how much they like each other. Instead, what unlocks their genius, is a collection of easily learned habits and dynamics that make a team more than the sum of its parts.

Instead, they share a handful of habits that allow for an organization to outperform.

The sudden shift to the hybrid workplace has brought to life new challenges that no one would have expected. Many employees are burning out, feeling isolated, or seeing opportunities to take roles at new companies, while others never want to return to the office and are loving their newfound family time. Navigating the complexities of this situation isn’t easy, but there are some best practices and strategies we should all consider.

Regardless of what you want to accomplish, from growing your business, creating a great company culture, championing a social cause, or affecting your habits, you can’t do it alone.
