In the military, it was all about the details for today’s guest, Charlie Gilkey. And when it comes to teams in a business, the same is true. Charlie’s military background sets him up very well to talk about team habits and what habits benefit teams in any environment.
What are the habits that impact the quality of work? In today’s episode, Charlie shares the 8 categories of team habits and how finding the one that is broken, could solve a world of problems.
