Success for individuals, corporations, and communities comes from the creation of great teams. Though teams build success, they can also be misunderstood and under utilized. I talk with ER physician at Mount Sinai Hospital (Toronto), award winning host of CBC Radio’s White Coat, Black Art and The Dose, and bestselling author Dr. Brian Goldman about his latest book The Power of Teamwork. During our chat, Dr. Goldman talks about: 1. Defining a team vs a group, 2. Leadership, 3. How personalities can compliment a team, 4. The Dark Triad (Machiavellians, Sociopaths, Narcissists), 5. Introverts vs Extroverts, 6. Learning from mistakes (and why some refrain from pointing out mistakes), 7. Feeling unsafe in a team, 8. How to build teamwork (Visual Thanking Strategies, Improve?!?...), 9. The benefits of responding with Yes, and... vs Yes, but... 10. Tips to help kickstart your team building...and so much more. Dr. Goldman does an incredible job of discussing teamwork and how it's more than what many people perceive. He leverages his experience from his medical career to provide teamwork insights that apply to all organizations, industries, communities, and board rooms. You don't want to miss what he has to share. Enjoy!
Preparing for the Unexpected is about how people, organizations and communities plan, prepare, test, communicate and respond to sudden unplanned events such as natural and manmade disasters and crises. The show is for everyone who wants an understanding of how plans are created for individuals, organizations and communities and for anyone who wants to know what they can do in their own lives to help protect themselves from unexpected events. There is a myth that disasters happen to others but in reality, they happen to everyone. It's just a matter of when and how well-prepared you are. The greater the level of awareness, communication and knowledge, the quicker one bounces back from adversity. The overall aim of Preparing for the Unexpected is to reduce the suffering, effects and impacts caused as a result of disasters and unexpected life events by increasing knowledge and awareness of Operational Resilience, Business Contingency, Disaster Planning, Crisis Management, and related activities.
