Smart ideas don’t build successful companies.

Smart teams do.

In this clip from The Abstract by @spotdraftHQ , @LawtradesCSO, Tommie Tavares-Ferreira explains why chemistry, trust, and empowerment are what make or break a leadership team 👇

“You can have the greatest ideas, but if it’s a constant struggle with your team—you’re not bringing them home.”

It’s not just what you’re building, it’s who you’re building with.

→ Align early

→ Empower each other

→ Build trust
