Strategies for Cultivating a Thriving Team Culture featuring Tony Ferraro

“What the leader has to really communicate their intent. What are we trying to get accomplished? This is so much more important than a detailed action plan.”

In this episode, we are joined by Tony Ferraro, Senior Executive Coach and Director of Training Services at Floyd Consulting, to unpack the transformative power of coaching and the profound impact it has on organizational culture.

Join us as Tony dives into the lessons from retired General James Mattis's book "Call Sign Chaos" and explore the essence of mission-focused leadership across all areas of a team or company.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  1. Prioritize coaching over commanding to foster growth and development
  2. Create an environment of trust where team members feel safe to provide feedback
  3. Encourage transparency and sharing challenges rather than only positive updates
