333 | 7 Keys to Building Remarkable Teams (and the Traps That Hold Them Back)

What does it actually take to build a remarkable team?

In this episode, Jenni Catron talks with Slingshot Group CEO Tim Foot about the patterns they’ve both seen across hundreds of teams including what works, what doesn’t, and where things tend to break down.

Tim shares the seven key signatures of remarkable teams, along with the common traps that quietly stall progress. From misalignment and unclear messaging to avoiding healthy conflict, this conversation helps you see where your team may be getting stuck and what to do about it.

At the center of it all is a simple idea: if your mission matters, your team matters more.

The Biggest Takeaways:

  • The 7 key signatures that shape healthy, high-performing teams
  • Why team awareness matters just as much as self-awareness
  • Where most teams drift out of alignment (and how to catch it early)
  • The difference between functional teams and teams that produce real impact
  • How to approach conflict in a way that strengthens—not fractures—your team
