Do you get up every morning and run to work so you can hang out with your team? Do you think of your team as your people and know they have your back? Do you have fun with them, laugh together and share really important experiences together? In this episode, we are going to talk about how everyone can and should create community within their team. And when you have a community, you will love your team even more. Since we often spend more time with our team than our family, this is so important!
