Episode Description

This week's podcast is brought to you from Logroño, Spain! While Brian was away on his business trip, he had the opportunity to interview Armando and Maria at Teinnova in Spain. Armando is their CEO and general manager, and Maria is the team's sales & marketing manager. Brian's work with Omni Containment Systems brought him over the ocean to work with Teinnova and discuss their influence across Spain and the United States. Teinnova works to develop cleaning systems that make cleaning hard-to-reach and difficult places much safer and more efficient. Teinnova innovates products in the technical cleaning sector, and 25% of the company’s personnel are employed in the research and development unit. A special thank you to Teinnova, Armando, and Maria for allowing Brian to interview them and give everyone at The I in Team Podcast a sneak peak at their influence in Spain.

Our show expands, in depth, the philosophies in our book series, The I in Team Series. We discuss finding one’s own influence, using that influence in their life with their various teams, and building teams around them that enhance and positively increase influence. We hope to show you that you are important to the teams you influence and that by understanding your unique influence you will be able to positively contribute to the world around you. Your influence is the single greatest responsibility you have. We cover looking at our foundations, understanding our shortcomings, being a team member, and leading with influence.

We accomplish this goal by first laying a foundation for our philosophy and then building on that through interactions with guests that reinforce the lessons we wish to teach others.
