    Nov 7 2025

    In this episode of Teamwork: A Better Way, we sit down with Chip Higgins—banking executive turned business coach and author of The Bizzics Way—to explore a groundbreaking leadership metaphor:
    Are you leading your team with fission or fusion energy?

    Chip shares how most leaders unknowingly manage like reactors—controlling every spark, micromanaging output, and eventually burning out themselves and their teams.

    But fusion? That’s where the magic happens.
    ✅ Empowered teams
    ✅ Shared energy
    ✅ Exponential, self-sustaining results

    We also unpack the science of momentum in business, the overlooked value of onboarding, and how to generate energy through team bonding—not just structure.
