The increasing volatility and asynchrony in today's business environment is urging leaders to move beyond traditional, internally focused team models.

In this podcast, INSEAD professor Henrik Bresman discusses the second edition of his book, X-Teams: How to Build Teams That Lead, Innovate, and Succeed, co-authored with Deborah Ancona from MIT Sloan. The book emphasises the need for teams to engage externally to gain diverse perspectives, while maintaining internal cohesion. The second edition aims to reignite excitement for running better teams by celebrating successful implementations of X-Team principles.
