Welcome to an unique episode of Social Enterprise, where we paddle into the exciting world of dragon boat racing to uncover profound insights on team effectiveness. We explore how this ancient sport mirrors the dynamics of modern workplaces, offering lessons in synchronisation, collaboration, and performance.

In this episode, Anita is joined by two friends she met through dragon boat paddling, Gina Littlefair and Rachel Wirth, who will help draw some unique parallels to team effectiveness in dragon boat teams and what we can apply to teams in the workplace such as team selection, motivation, learning styles, talent management, communication and even agile ways of working to enable peak team performance. Learn how the synchronised efforts of a dragon boat crew can translate to enhanced productivity and innovation in the workplace. From harnessing individual strengths to fostering a culture of resilience, this episode promises to equip you with valuable strategies for leading effective teams.

Tune in for an engaging discussion filled with personal anecdotes, practical tips, and a shared passion for teamwork. Whether you're a leader, team member, or simply curious about the intersection of sports and organisational success, this episode is sure to inspire and enlighten.
