#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.
