Constantly elevating performance: why nurturing teamwork matters

What does great collaboration look like? Before March 2020, it usually meant gathering around the boardroom table, brainstorming solutions as a physical group. But in the wake of COVID, everything changed – and businesses were forced to build new collaborative techniques, adapt their strategies, and think on their feet. 

In this episode of Smartsheet Sessions, we’re taking inspiration from the world of sport to discover how leaders can nurture teams to ensure collaboration thrives – no matter how difficult the circumstances.

So – how can businesses ‘grow greener’ successfully, delighting customers and employees, while avoiding accusations of greenwashing? Watch the episode to find out more.
