Effective teams work together, not around each other. They thoughtfully leverage the unique strengths and experiences across the company to drive the business forward. Smart leaders know this. And yet, all too often, business productivity is stymied by unproductive behavior that buries smart ideas, demoralizes high performers, and ultimately slows down progress.

Tune in to hear from Ethena’s Chief People Officer, Melanie Naranjo, and fellow People leader, Janet Duliga, (Chief Corporate Officer, Prada Group, Americas), as they explore how to build high-functioning teams that build each other up (as opposed to inadvertently tearing each other down) and drive the business forward.
