“When you get to a place where there is some healthy tension there, you can make ideas better.” —Carla Sones

Have you ever been in a meeting with the business attraction and marketing teams and felt the tension? We see this all of the time between the team that produces the materials to sell and the team responsible for selling the region. But how can we come to a place of healthy tension that pushes our mission forward?

On this episode, Carla Sones and Faye Davis dive into the stereotypes of marketing and “sales” teams. Together, they show how these stereotypes are creating dysfunction which can lead straight to the tanking of productivity, effectiveness, culture and team dynamics.

Carla also shares encouragement for leaders as to what healthy tension can look like and what the results can be. We don’t have to be in a space where our teams are just working, but we can get to a place where trust and collaboration can make our organizations thrive!
