Summary
What if the reason your team is struggling has nothing to do with the people on it? Psychologist and researcher Ron Friedman says exceptional teams aren't born — they're engineered. In Superteams, he breaks down the counterintuitive habits of high-performers: fewer meetings, more peer accountability, and leaders who actually want you to fail. Then, in the second half of the episode, journalist Jennifer Moss shares ideas from her 2025 book Why Are We Here?: Creating a Work Culture Everyone Wants. 🎁 Save 20% on a Next Big Idea Club membership when you used code PODCAST at nextbigideaclub.com ✉️ Get big ideas in your inbox with our daily newsletter.
