Ways to Wealth EP85: Building Self‑Aware Leaders and High‑Trust Teams, with Tracey Olivier

In this episode of the Ways to Wealth Podcast, Charlie is joined by Tracey Olivier! Tracey is a leadership and team coach, consultant, and facilitator who helps organisations create healthy and productive teams. Originally from South Africa, she moved to New Zealand 10 years ago and transitioned from corporate work to entrepreneurship to find flexibility as a parent while building a purpose‑driven career.

The conversation explores the critical role of leadership in organisational health and performance. Tracey explains how self‑aware leaders — those who recognise their strengths and weaknesses — can transform team dynamics. She draws on Patrick Lencioni’s frameworks, including The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and the Six Types of Working Genius assessment, which help leaders identify innate strengths such as “Wonder” and “Discernment” while delegating tasks outside their genius zone to avoid burnout.

Charlie and Tracey also discuss practical applications, such as Nike’s use of Lencioni’s model to address workflow gaps and Charlie’s own joint venture with Boston Global that brought significant assets under management. Tracey shares her vision of creating retreat spaces like “Leadership Haven” for leaders to recharge, counter isolation, and build authentic peer connections. The discussion highlights how trust, authenticity, and aligned leadership directly drive better business outcomes.
