What if your team’s “people problems” are actually genius problems? In this episode, Andrew sits down with HR consultant and Working Genius facilitator Robin Baker of The People Factor to talk about building teams that actually work well together.
Why You Should Listen

🔹 Common missing “geniuses” on teams—especially Galvanizing and Tenacity—and how that shows up day to day.
🔹 How to tell if you have a people problem, a role problem, or a process problem.
🔹 When to bring in HR support (ideally with your first hire) and the most common gaps Robin finds.
