Interview with Brandon Carson

Following your 20 year experience in the field of education and development, what do you perceive as the secret element for a successful team?

The most successful teams I’ve been a part of have had an open, collaborative construct, and are focused on transparency and teamwork. The other element that drives a highly productive team is smallness. Small teams with a clear focus and enough autonomy to make decisions in a timely manner are key. The secret sauce, however, is ensuring everyone has clear directives and can execute on their own as well as in concert with each other.

We all need to have personal goals to attain, as well as a common understanding of the overall vision for the team.
