The Managing with Mind and Heart Podcast

Listen Later

We previously released this episode on August 1, 2024. We're excited to revisit some key ideas before we dive into fresh, exciting topics soon.

In this episode, Ethan Nash is joined by MIT Sloan’s Deborah Ancona, founder of the MIT Leadership Center, author of the new book xTeams, and contributor at the Harvard Business Review.

They explore the concept of “family ghosts” — a term coined to describe the way familial dynamics influence an individual’s workplace behavior and leadership. Deborah also shares insights from her pioneering research on high-performing teams and innovative leadership.
