In this episode, I’m taking on one of the biggest misconceptions in the leadership world: the difference between a group and a team. Spoiler alert—if you’re just herding a bunch of people toward the same goal, you might be missing the whole team thing.

I break down how even the all-star 2004 Olympic basketball team couldn’t bring home the gold because they were just that—a group of individuals, not a real team.

So, if you’ve ever wondered why your “dream team” isn’t winning, grab your headphones and tune in.

You might just realize you’re on the wrong side of the court.

And since poems are so much fun,
I turned my bio into one.
