E127 - Why Your Team Is Pretending to Work (And What to Do About It)
Manage episode 494519001 series 3560391
If nearly half your team is pretending to work, the real problem isn’t laziness—it’s leadership.

In this episode, we break down how to fix the disengagement at its roots—starting with how you hire, how you lead, and how you design the systems your team runs on.
