Getting Things Done Together: A Conversation with David Allen & Ed Lamont (Part One)
In this episode, Clint talks with David Allen and Ed Lamont. David is the legendary productivity expert behind Getting Things Done (GTD), a globally adopted methodology for personal and professional efficiency. Ed is a long-time GTD master trainer, business consultant, and executive coach with deep experience helping teams thrive.
Together, they’ve co-authored a new book, “Team: Getting Things Done With Others,” which expands the GTD methodology into the world of team performance, group trust, and organizational clarity.
During Part One of their conversation, David and Ed explore how the GTD mindset applies not just to individuals but to teams, especially when “getting things done” breaks down. They unpack the invisible assumptions that undermine collaboration, why shared ownership can be a trap, and how clarity around commitments is essential for trust, momentum, and results.
This is the first part of a two-part conversation.
