How To Create A Winning Team Culture That Drives Results with Colin D Ellis

The New Way

Creating a great culture at work is a challenge that requires great strategy, creative relationship building and oftentimes, new ways of thinking. While it’s tempting to go through the motions and do what has always been done, taking an innovative approach can be the best way to create a winning team culture that really drives results.

Today I’m joined by Colin D Ellis, a world renowned culture change expert, international speaker, and bestselling author of four incredible books which include Culture Fix and Culture Hacks. Colin works with organisations around the world to help them change the way they get things done, and his insights around creating a great workplace culture are thoughtful, clarifying and so very practical.

In our conversation, we cover the single biggest obstacle that organisations face when it comes to building a happy and healthy team, and Colin discusses his thoughts around the importance of mindset change amongst senior leaders. He shares how he’s witnessed leaders who understand the value of investing in their teams cultivating the best workplace environments.

We discuss how hybrid work is impacting organisational culture and exactly how, step-by-step, you can start to change your team's culture.

Colin shares his methods of helping a workplace culture thrive, including taking his team offsite for days at a time to ensure their wellbeing and create a sense of belonging. We talk about understanding when collaboration is necessary, and when working alone bears the most productivity.

When it comes to building relationships between people or re-establishing them, empathy is the glue that holds great teams together. Appreciating our differences is a great driver for connection, and Colin emphasises how adopting inclusivity can build the strongest working relationships.

Our conversation is jam-packed with incredible wisdom and so many valuable lessons from Colin. Whether you're a first time manager or a seasoned senior leader, I just know you’re going to feel energised and inspired on your own journey in creating successful culture change.
