Radio Show #630: Building High-Performance Team Cultures

Guest: Ellie Holbert- Partner to Execs & People Leaders

After years in management consulting, Ellie Holbert noticed a consistent pattern: organizations would invest heavily in tools, technology, and restructuring – but underlying team dynamics were quietly eroding performance. Ellie decided to address this head-on. She began designing the human systems that make high performance possible: clarity, trust, communication, and shared accountability.

Today, as the Founder of Empact Advisory Services, she partners with executives and people leaders to build high-performance team cultures that actually last. Her work has led to outcomes like adding over $4.5 million in value without new headcount, driving 11x revenue growth following culture transformation, eliminating regrettable turnover, accelerating delivery timelines, and sustaining 95%+ team health scores for more than two years.

Ellie’s approach is fast, focused, and research-backed – shaped by years of consulting across industries ranging from Fortune 200s and federal agencies to global cultural institutions and high-growth teams.
