Stronger Teams Start with Better Habits

In today’s workplace, teams are expected to do more with less—while morale takes a hit and expectations only grow. But before jumping to another process fix, leaders need to focus on what truly moves the needle: communication, collaboration, and culture.

Brett Harned, co-founder of Same Team Partners, will share practical ways to diagnose where teams are stuck and create alignment—without adding extra work. He’ll introduce Teamangle, an approach that helps teams build better habits and solve real problems without relying on rigid frameworks. This conversation will be packed with real-world insights and actionable strategies for leaders who want to build stronger, more resilient teams.
