Why Teamwork Is Broken, And How to Fix It | Dane Groeneveld | Unfinished Business Podcast

What happens when your work culture feels disconnected, your tools feel clunky, and your people are burning out?

In this episode of Unfinished Business, David Sliman sits down with Dane Groeneveld, CEO and Founding Partner of Lead3r, to get real about what actually drives team performance and why most companies get it wrong.

Dane’s “SHOW UP” framework (Story, Health, Outside Influence, Work) breaks down how leaders can build trust, clarity, and alignment in fast-moving, hybrid environments. From the science of storytelling in leadership to practical strategies for increasing psychological safety, Dane shares how better teams build better companies and better people.

 

Key Takeaways:

• Clarity is not micromanagement – Set the story, share the why, and invite your team to co-author the next chapter.
• Health isn’t just personal, it’s organizational – Burnout doesn’t scale. Well-being drives performance.
• Connection beats process – Technology is a tool, not the answer. It's how you use it that creates real teamwork.
