S2 E85: Charting a New Path following a Founder | J.R. Howard | UPIC Solutions

For Love of Team™ | Winston Faircloth

Six years ago, Winston Faircloth stepped down from the technology organization he helped to build over a 15 year period. As a founder, one of the hardest things you can do is to “let your baby go”.
Yet, the prior 12 months had been filled with turmoil and internal discord -- it was no longer fun, senior leaders were at odds with one another, and the organization was experiencing higher than normal turnover.
After an extensive search process, UPIC Solutions found their new leader from within. J.R. Howard had a front-row seat to the chaos and decided in advance there was a better way to lead. A people-first way.
In this revealing interview, Winston sits down with his successor J.R. Howard to talk about the amazing transformation UPIC has experienced over the past six years.

• Taking a founder's vision, enhanced by a culture that loves the team
• Leading with positivity and how the team reflects the leader
• Importance of the leader as a storyteller
• Building a culture of accountability and consistency
• How building raving fans is an inside job first
• Keeping a remote team together with Virtual Coffees with the CEO

The Team Map™ Method is your roadmap to a perfect-fit, big enough business.
We believe that every business is as unique as fingerprints. It’s not the product or the clients that make you unique. It’s your people: the collection of unique talent, experience, perspectives all working together towards a compelling why. The WHY you started your business in the first place.
Yet, for most founders, our teams are an afterthought or worse, an expense. What if your team was your key differentiator in the marketplace? Find out how. Text Winston at 1-754-800-9461 to begin your Team Map™ journey.
