What does it take to turn any team into a high-performing powerhouse? Keith Ferazzi, Founder, Chair, & CEO at Ferrazzi Greenlight, knows it's all about ditching the traditional leadership model and mastering the new "teamship" concept. Keith is a Best-Selling Author of many books, including "Never Lead Alone: 10 Shifts from Leadership to Teamship", as well as Founder, Chair, & CEO at Ferrazzi Greenlight. In this episode, we dig into building a “challenge culture,” a strategy that helps teams address issues openly and hold each other accountable, and introduces “open 360s,” a transparent feedback system to build trust. He also discusses practical tools like monthly “stress tests” to identify project challenges early and “energy checks” to boost team resilience. With advice on avoiding consensus culture pitfalls, setting a “social contract” for team values, and optimizing hybrid work, Keith gives leaders clear steps to create teams that truly support one another and perform at their best.
