Growth Hacking Culture starts from the opposite premise: if your best people are disengaged, burned out, or leaving, the system is broken, not them. Hosted by Ivan Palomino, this top 5% global podcast brings you unfiltered conversations with the people rewriting the rules of work: executives from Apple, Goldman Sachs, and Zappos, organizational psychologists, neuroscientists, and founders who’ve built cultures that perform without burning people down. No corporate wellness fluff. No recycled leadership clichés. Just the behavioral science, psychology, and uncomfortable truths behind workplace culture, employee engagement, and leadership that actually works. For HR leaders, CHROs, founders, and executives who suspect the standard playbook is the problem.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-21T20:20:00.709377+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/growth-hacking-culture-7025931"},"episode":{"title":"Why Hiring A-Players Doesn't Build Winning Teams with André Martin","slug":"why-hiring-a-players-doesn-t-build-winning-teams-with-andr-martin","published_at":"2026-08-23T13:15:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/growth-hacking-culture-7025931/why-hiring-a-players-doesn-t-build-winning-teams-with-andr-martin","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/growth-hacking-culture-7025931","url":"https://podcast.ivanpalomino.net/e/the-science-of-underdog-teams-that-beat-the-best-with-andre-martin/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/tqnw8s7gcnt7jrga/andre.mp3","summary":"Every organization wants to hire the best. Stack the roster with top performers, invest in individual excellence, let talent density do the work. It sounds like a winning strategy. The research says otherwise. Dr. André Martin is an organizational psychologist, former Chief Talent Officer at Mars, and author of Collective Confidence: The Winning Formula Behind the World's Most Unbeatable Teams. He has spent decades studying hundreds of teams across radically different environments, from submarine crews to Olympic gymnasts to Silicon Valley startups, and his findings keep pointing to the same place: the teams that win are not the ones with the most talent. They are the ones that believe they can figure it out together. Ivan and André dig into why collective confidence outpredicts individual performance, what six principles every unbeatable team shares, and how the way we hire, onboard, and develop people is built around a model that stopped working years ago. In this episode: Why collective confidence is a stronger predictor of team performance than individual talent, backed by decades of research The three types of confidence (individual, contributory, collective) and why organizations invest in the wrong one Six principles shared by every unbeatable team André studied, from Navy crews to gymnasts to startup founders How a Burning Man camp leader's philosophy of \"make everyone the boss of something\" reveals what corporate hiring misses Why teams that learn together retain nearly 100% while solo learners lose 70% in three days (the Ebbinghaus curve hack) The trust formula with four variables where self-interest is the denominator that can destroy everything else What André would fix first as CHRO: not culture programs, but onboarding and the leadership team This one is…","meta_description":"Every organization wants to hire the best.
