Linkage’s Institute for Leading Diversity & Inclusion faculty member Glenn Llopis is a frequent contributor to Forbes.com. In his article, 6 Ways Successful Teams Are Built To Last, he notes that “great leadership builds great teams. Team building is both an art and a science and the leader who can consistently build high performance teams is worth their weight in gold.” In his article, he lists the six ways successful teams are built to last:

  • Be Aware of How You Work – Be your own boss. Be flexible. Know who you are as a leader.
