In this edition of the Impactful Teamwork podcast, host Julia Felton delves into the concept of catalysts within teams, inspired by John Maxwell's 'law of the catalyst.' Julia discusses the importance of catalysts—team members who make things happen—by sharing examples and outlining nine key attributes such as intuition, passion, talent, creativity, and influence. She reflects on personal experiences, including leading teams through the Enron scandal and showcasing catalyst examples like Dani, the founder of Eat Sleep Ride. The episode aims to help listeners identify and develop catalysts within their own teams to drive higher performance and unity.
