Success in today’s business world is often a team effort, yet having a strong understanding of how to build great teams is a skill that many leaders struggle with. Building high-performing teams derives from a simple strategy: getting the right people in the right roles at the right time.

When we are clear on our values and mission, and intentionally align our players towards a common goal, magic happens. Teams that are built intentionally set the company on a path of success and can become an inspiration to other employees and companies.

Stephanie Wernick Barker, Class of ‘08, President at Mondo, will discuss her experience hiring, planning, and strategizing to build a powerhouse team. After all, there is no “I” in team!
