“It is not what you do. It is what you make happen.” Ronan Dunne, CEO of Verizon Consumer Group, shared this leadership principle with me on a Zoom chat recently. It’s one useful tenet all leaders today should adopt, and it has undoubtedly taken on much greater significance as we move forward and out of...
The future of work arrived out of nowhere, on the back of a once-in-a-centurypandemic. Team dynamics got challenged as members dealt with illness, trauma,and crisis. We’ve all been forced to rapidly and radically adapt to new working norms. The Ferrazzi Greenlight Research Institute has spent more than 15 years studying high-performing teams, but I’ve never...
The appeal of forming virtual teams is clear. Employees can manage their work and personal lives more flexibly, and they have the opportunity to interact with colleagues around the world. Companies can use the best and lowest-cost global talent and significantly reduce their real estate costs. But virtual teams are hard to get right. In...

We twiddle our thumbs through diplomatic PowerPoint presentations, waiting for the meeting to end so that the real conversations—which usually happen in private—can begin. The desire to avoid conflict is understandable, but it’s one of the most debilitating factors in...
We’ve studied what unlocks team potential for more than twenty-one years. Our new research shows how to reclaim 30% of your life and empower hybrid teams.
Plus, find out how to gain a 79% increase in candor, 75% increase in development, 46% increase in collaboration and a 44% increase in accountability.
Meetings have become our $283 billion habit of wasted time a year. We have a data-driven solution that proves that much of the academic research on virtual team collaboration is wrongheaded, biased and focused on failed use cases. And these are the radically transformative results we see from the practices shared in this white paper.
