How can effective communication transform your team’s performance and culture? In this episode of Hello Monday, Martin Gonzalez, Principal of Org and Leadership at Google and co-author of The Bonfire Moment, shares actionable strategies for tackling the hardest people problems that startups face. His wisdom reaches far beyond startups, and can help improve conflict resolution, culture, and performance on any team. He sits down with Jessi to discuss how to foster open communication, how to argue better, and how to cultivate a culture of growth and innovation within teams. He highlights the importance of differentiating people skills from tech skills and why cultural innovation in the workplace takes time and patience. Gonzalez also emphasizes that a happy or comfortable team isn’t always an effective one—your goal as a leader should be to cultivate a culture where team members can challenge each other, grow, and add real value.
