In this episode of Culture Camp: Host Jason is joined by Leigh Quinn and David Spader of Potentia Assessments for part three of their family business series, a deep dive into the tools that build a strong team, in a family business and beyond. Here’s what you’ll hear about:
- The five factors of a great team: common purpose, accountabilities, communication, shared problem solving, and leveraging strengths
- Only 10% compatible: why so few style pairings are a natural fit at work, and why almost everyone has to adapt
- Meet core needs first: why style tells you how people refuel, and why a “hangry” team can’t think at its best
- Silent voices: why the quietest person in the room often has the idea you most need to hear
- One-seconders and ten-seconders: a simple ground rule that gives the fast and the reflective an equal shot
- Debate less, decide better: why you build on an idea instead of repeating it, and aim for support, not total agreement
- Me vs. we values: the silent motivator behind how each person decides what is best
- Adaptability’s blind spots: why “collaborative” and “safe to be open with” are the strengths leaders most overrate
- Follow the interests: why capability without passion is the fastest way to burn someone out

Listen On:
The worst thing we can do is put someone in a role where they’re highly capable, but they’re not that interested or passionate about it.

It’s not the ones who are talking, it’s who isn’t talking.
