143 - Bringing Out The Best In Your Teams With Workplace Strategist Lia Garvin

Today we have guest Lia Garvin - incredible author, podcast host, workplace strategist and disruptor of all things - on the 'no Boring Stories' podcast, and our conversation is filled with many gold nuggets for managers and team members alike! 

When asked about her main work and how she is currently showing up in the world, Lia says she has a bunch of different balls in the air. Specifically, she focuses on partnering with business owners/founders on bringing out the best in their teams, along with mapping out how the team operations take shape so that they can grow and scale their teams. Lia helps people with the ‘how’, so that they can focus on ‘what’ they are doing, but in our chat, we also talk about the WHY.

Management is typically a boring subject, but in today’s episode, Lia shares why that is, and then how she is using storytelling to show up and help individuals navigate that in a way that is not boring. This involves recognizing the misconceived beliefs around being a manager, as well as identifying where people are getting stuck and leaning into simple strategies/tools.

Lia also shares words about the short vs. long term thinking in investing in your team, and the common issue of work burnout. We then do a little rewind, and discuss Lia’s past journey and the work experiences that have instilled in her this notion of 'Management made simple', along with a moment of discovery that sparked her personal ‘why’. To end things off, we narrow in on the dichotomy - as Lia so perfectly calls it - between disruption and destruction in team culture.
