How to Keep Small Problems from Breaking Your Team
What holds a team together—and what causes it to fracture? In this mini-episode of the Extraordinary Pursuits podcast from BIP Ventures, host Rachelle Kuramoto talks with Mohamed ("Mo") Massaquoi, organizational psychologist, former NFL wide receiver, and founder of VESSOL. Mo draws on lessons from the football field, the finance industry, and his own entrepreneurial journey to explain how great teams sustain high performance, even in times of stress and rapid change.
He shares practical insights on how leaders can:
Recognize the subtle signs that cracks are forming in a team’s foundation
Balance daily oversight with empowering others to lead
Build a culture of consistent communication and feedback
Create alignment around mission, values, and goals
For startup leaders wearing many hats, this is clear and useful advice that can help you manage team dynamics without burning out or letting cracks turn into fractures.
