I’ve spent the past decade inside the guts of elite teams, from Fortune 100 giants to scrappy startups. Here’s the truth: Teamship still rules. But the rules are changing. Co-elevation, my term for teammates lifting each other higher, is still the engine of breakthrough performance. But now we’re building that engine with AI. Recently, I hosted a dinner in New York City for 70...
Fractional executives aren’t just a trend. They are now essential to the modern startup toolset. However, if bringing one part-time leader on board is a challenge, hiring several at once is a whole new management game, and most founders aren’t fully prepared. As more CEOs tap into a “portfolio” C-suite, the struggle shifts from simply getting the talent to actually...
“Most companies are failing at AI—not because of weak tech, but because they’re stuck in old-school leadership.”
The winners aren’t just buying tools, they’re re-engineering workflows, unleashing peer-led super users, and building team resilience. The real AI revolution isn’t about machines—it’s about how humans work together....
Organizations are bleeding capital on investments in artificial intelligence (AI), with often little to show for it. As executives throw cash at expensive tools and chaotic pilot projects, the promise of AI-driven transformation remains elusive. The problem isn’t the technology. Too many leaders rely on traditional change management thinking and old-school training methodologies. Plus, many...
“I’m waiting for you to retire so we can get a divorce.” It was not the answer the chief financial officer of one of America’s largest public companies expected when he tried a workplace candor exercise on his wife.

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...
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? Have you ever worked in a team...
For decades, business has elevated the role of the leader. But our research with more than 3,000 teams reveals a stark reality: traditional leadership approaches leave leave billions of dollars of shareholder value on the table. When teams adopt what I call “Co-elevation” – a commitment among teammates to win together and push each other...
David Brancaccio, host of Marketplace Morning Report, the long-running public radio show, is a master of the art of sharp questions—and he aimed one in my direction he interviewed me this week about the difference between good leaders and great teams. “I think many people listening will be scarred by some of their previous experience...
Forget what you thought you knew about leading teams—old ideas no longer apply in a world of remote work, artificial intelligence, and constant disruption.
