What do you do if there's a jerk in your team (a.k.a. a toxic individual) who is having a detrimental impact on the productivity, happiness, and wellbeing of the rest of the team?

Step 1: Stay calm! And that's really a recurring theme of this episode with my latest guest, Kristin Zhivago. We discuss why leaders need to be the calm in the room, the critical role of fairness in leadership, the challenges of navigating toxic team dynamics, and her journey in sales and marketing from Silicon Valley to the High Seas.

Kristin shares her controversial opinion on sales and the shift from traditional selling to a customer-centric approach, highlights the importance of understanding buyer mindsets and explores the future of AI in the field, cautioning against automating poor practices.

A thoughtful, engaging guest with great knowledge to share, Kristin offers valuable advice for aspiring entrepreneurs, her insights on leadership, the importance of understanding customers, building a positive team culture, and Leading with Integrity.

There are also some very personal stories and experiences shared, so thank you Kristin for such a wonderful chat.
