Genesis Fisher Lead Facilitator and Trainer

Genesis Fisher, a lead facilitator and trainer for JAMS Pathways, guest-authored an article for Training Magazine examining how entrepreneurs can navigate the challenges of scaling their businesses while maintaining a healthy workplace culture. Through the hypothetical story of Justine—an entrepreneur whose rapidly growing company struggled with disengaged employees and leadership gaps—Fisher identifies actionable solutions for building stronger teams. She outlines three essential interventions:

  1. Support New Managers: Promote employees based on leadership potential, not just technical skills, and provide systematic onboarding to teach key skills like managing performance, handling difficult conversations, and fostering psychological safety.
  2. Create Spaces for Team Dialogue: Structured forums encourage employees to voice concerns and share ideas, helping leaders better understand team dynamics and uncover hidden talent. As Fisher notes,

“Creating a space for team dialogue strengthens trust.”

  1. Offer Communication Training: Equip teams with tools to resolve conflicts and build empathy, which ultimately boosts productivity and morale. Fisher emphasizes that “Teams that communicate better stay on track and produce better results.”

By adopting these strategies, entrepreneurs can foster collaboration, rebuild trust, and balance ambition with workplace well-being. For more insights, read the full article by Genesis Fisher here: The Entrepreneur’s Path: Building Stronger Teams and Businesses.
