Dedicated Teams, Autonomy and Effectiveness with Serge Beaumont

“What people want the most is to be useful, be effective and have an impact on the world. The specific responsibilities that come with it, tend not to be as important as that.“

Serge Beaumont shares how to achieve dedicated teams, the importance of autonomy and how to be effective together.

A great listen for those that love effective teams!
