Date: 27/01/2021

Building a performance-driven team doesn't start with building trust, so says Carlos Velas Depena during my interview with him in the Business of Intuition Podcast.  He has written two books on teamwork: “Lessons from Mars: How One Global Company Cracked the Code on High-Performance Collaboration and Teamwork” and “Virtual Teams: Holding the Center When You Can’t Meet Face-to-Face.” Both books are based on original research Carlos conducted during his 17 years as an internal consultant at Mars, Inc.

In this episode, Dean Newlund and Carlos Valdes-Dapena discuss:

Negotiation skills are used in collaboration.
How to build an effective team.
Mindful and conscious interaction.
Creating value through collaborative work and non-collaborative work.

Trust is a valuable component of team effectiveness, but it is not the foundation.” —  Carlos Valdes-Dapena.
