Episode 82 - Emotion at Work in High Performing Teams (part II)

Episode Summary: In this episode of the Emotion at Work podcast, host Phil Willcox dives into the integral role of emotion in building and sustaining high-performing teams. Following on from the previous discussion on meetings, accountability, relationships and decision-making, Phil shifts focus to four additional critical areas: communication, wellbeing, recognition and performance. With emotion woven throughout these elements, Phil shares insights and actionable advice for creating environments where people feel safe, optimistic, and confident.

Phil explores:

• How communication strategies—formal and informal—impact team dynamics and project outcomes.
• The significance of emotional wellbeing, particularly in high-pressure environments, and practical ways to support it.
• The power of recognition and fostering a culture of appreciation to amplify team collaboration.
• The emotional foundation of performance and how feelings shape outcomes and success.

Expect reflective questions to challenge your thinking and help embed emotion-led practices in your own team.

What’s Next? Future episodes promise to expand on these themes with expert guests, including High Performing Teams coach Kim Brosnan and clients who've embraced the emotion-led blueprint. Look forward to hearing their stories and experiences.
