Carlos is a speaker, author, and consultant with over 30 years of experience supporting global corporations, including Mars, Inc., and IBM. He has written two books on teamwork: “Lessons from Mars: How One Global Company Cracked the Code on High-Performance Collaboration and Teamwork” and “Virtual Teams: Holding the Center When You Can’t Meet Face-to-Face.” Both books are based on original research Carlos conducted during his 17 years as an internal consultant at Mars, Inc.

In this episode, Dean Newlund and Carlos Valdes-Dapena discuss:

• Negotiation skills are used in collaboration.
• How to build an effective team.
• Mindful and conscious interaction.
• Creating value through collaborative work and non-collaborative work.

Key Takeaways:

• Make the workplace a location where we can truly be ourselves and still have great, productive relationships with others.
• Get to know your co-workers through meaningful work that requires you all to commit to the outcome you want to create.
• Build teams virtually with meaningful motivation and a way to feed the soul.
• Practice mindfulness through the use of individual and group intuition.
   

“Trust is a valuable component of team effectiveness, but it is not the foundation.” —  Carlos Valdes-Dapena.
