#691: Dr. Ron Friedman -- Super Teams

​Dr. Ron Friedman is a psychologist who has spent his career studying what separates great teams from average ones. His research, which has surveyed thousands of professionals across dozens of industries, became the second most-read article in Harvard Business Review history. He is the author of Superteams: The Science and Secrets of High-Performing Teams. We discuss: The Science of High-Performing Teams, Chevy Chase, Toxic Teammates, The Succession Writers' Room, Why Recurring Meetings Are Stupid, Why Side Hustles Are Good, and Why Only 8% of Teams Make the Cut.

Run a Book Club For The Price of Becoming​

Book clubs are awesome because they help build community around a set of ideas. They create great dialogue. And there is power in learning useful and entertaining things together. Because of that, we have built a guide to run a The Price of Becoming book club. If you'd like to run a The Price of Becoming book club at your workplace or in your community, let me know, and I'll send you the guide.

Tyler Cowen's 12 Rules for Life

​Tyler Cowen came on The Learning Leader Show (episode #283) a few years ago. I've been a fan of his blog (Marginal Revolution) for a long time. This post about his 12 Rules for Life is interesting.

What I Learned From Austin Kleon

The recent podcast with Austin Kleon is one of my favorites. I've listened to it 4 times. Every time I heard something useful, I paused the podcast and typed a note in my phone. Here are those notes. I think you'll find them useful.

During the second half of my conversation with Jim Collins, we started talking about what we were encoded for. He mentioned that he was encoded to be really curious. And how that’s driven his personal and professional life flywheel. Then he started talking about what I was encoded for. He said, “You have incredible encodings for what I would describe as attractive persistence. You don’t have a pushy tone. You are persistent.
