Our traditional instinct has been to look to our leaders to steer a clear path through uncertain and complex times. But marshaling the foresight to navigate today’s volatility and disruption requires something more than leadership. It requires teamship—the combined talent and insight of peers sharing the leadership load rather than expecting one heroic individual to...
As we look ahead to 2025, four shifts will help to determine which organizations thrive and which get left behind. These aren’t just predictions; they’re imperatives for any leader who wants to drive breakthrough performance in today’s volatile business environment. 1. The Shift from Leadership to Teamship For decades, business has elevated the role of...
Sometimes, you get challenged with a question that opens up your goals—that reaches right into your why? An editor asked me recently, “What’s the most rewarding aspect of writing about leadership?” When I wrote my first book, Never Eat Alone, I had people from around the world tell me that it changed their life. When...
You know what it means, but have you ever had the feeling? Have you ever experienced what Harvard professor Amy Edmondson first described a quarter of a century ago—psychological safety, the belief you can share ideas or speak up without the risk of being put down by others?

But 20 years after writing...
One of the most successful senior executives I know at a Fortune 100 company makes a ritual of airing his team’s dirty laundry once a week — he calls it the Outlier Meeting, and it’s where hard issues stay on the agenda until they are fixed. “This isn’t the time or place for parade laps...
Organizations often talk about the types of culture they want to see—a candid culture, a collaborative culture, an accountable culture, a customer-centric culture, an agile culture, an inclusive culture, a resilient culture, or a culture with a growth mindset. But they miss that it all can simply boil down to the execution of simple practices...
Alignment is one of the rare attributes of truly world-class teams—and a true competitive advantage. The world may be volatile and uncertain, but dream team members know what their peers are working on, what goals are being activated; they know everyone is aligned on the same critical mission. By contrast, teams in siloed organizations are...
There’s a practical question I’m sometimes asked by leaders as they shift their teams from slow and siloed ways of working to fast, bold and inclusive collaboration: “How do we keep track of rapid decisions when we’re playing as a team?” It’s a critical question in today’s fast-paced business environment.
