Why do so many talented teams still underperform?

The answer surprised me. Most people assume the answer is more collaboration, better chemistry, or simply working harder. But workplace psychologist and bestselling author Ron Friedman, author of the new book Superteams, says the highest-performing teams operate very differently.

In this conversation, I sit down with Ron to unpack the hidden habits that separate average teams from the great ones.

We talk about why too much collaboration can actually hurt performance, the surprising science behind smarter team decisions, and the small shifts leaders can make to help teams perform at a higher level.

Ron shares practical, research-backed strategies and challenges some of the myths keeping teams stuck and underperforming.

By the end of this conversation, you'll rethink what great teamwork actually looks like and walk away with actionable tools you can apply immediately with your own team.
