  The Hidden Cost of Avoiding Hard Conversations: A Conversation with Gustavo Razzetti

  Sep 8, 202639 min

  What happens when teams avoid the conversations they most need to have? Gustavo Razzetti, CEO of Fearless Culture and author of Forward Talk, calls the accumulating cost conversational debt - the price teams pay when important issues go unaddressed, conversations stay on the surface, or people stop speaking up because they no longer believe anything will change. In this episode, Gustavo joins Shaun and Joe to explore why psychological safety alone isn't enough to get people talking, how avoidance, blame, and groupthink keep teams stuck, and why healthy tension can actually make teams stronger. They also unpack the "alignment trap," the role leaders play in creating more candid conversations, and practical ways teams can surface tension before it becomes something much harder to solve. If your team has ever danced around an issue, mistaken agreement for alignment, or left an important conversation for another day, this episode offers a practical path forward.

  Aug 25, 202640 min

  What does it take to build a team that doesn’t just perform, but wins together? In this episode of Leading Together, Shaun Lee and Joe Olwig sit down with Andrie Leday, III, U.S. Commercial Vice President of Joint Reconstruction Enabling Technologies at DePuy Synthes, to explore the leadership practices behind high-performing teams. Drawing from more than 20 years of leadership and sales experience, Andrie shares lessons from his own journey, from achieving success as an individual contributor to leading teams and organizations at scale. He discusses why great leaders hire people who are smarter than they are, the importance of creating space for different personalities and strengths, and what he calls the “A-Team effect”: bringing together people with distinct capabilities to achieve something greater together. The conversation also explores how trust is built through action, why leaders should look for “opportunities for greatness” to invest in their people, and how a clear definition of winning can move teams from individual silos toward shared ownership and teamship. If you’re working to build a more aligned, trusting, and high-performing leadership team, this conversation is full of practical lessons on what it takes to truly win together.
