#37 Teams in Hell: Fixing Bad Management & Building High-Trust Teams with Hugo Pereira
Manage episode 478393200 series 3587007
In this episode, I sit down with Hugo Pereira author of Teams in Hell, to talk about what really breaks teams… and how to fix it.
We dig into why modern leadership still borrows from outdated factory-era models, how goal-setting loops turn into traps, and the difference between reactive task-mode and meaningful progress. Hugo shares powerful mindset shifts and practical steps to rebuild clarity, trust, and adaptability within teams plus how deep work, simplified priorities, and team-wide ownership can completely shift performance.
This episode is for anyone who’s leading a team (or in one!) and wants to create an environment where people do their best work without burning out or falling into micromanagement chaos.
