Why do some groups spark energy and creativity while others feel draining and tense? Taking on this topic, we sit down with Colin Fisher, the author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups. We dig into what really sets groups apart from one-on-one partnerships, how social norms and psychological safety shape the way groups function, and why synergy can feel so unpredictable yet incredibly powerful.Colin shares stories and research from his book, busting some common myths about group dynamics, the risks of trying to “sort” people into roles, and how relaunching a team can reset unhealthy patterns. From jazz improvisation to Nobel Prize-winning teams, this conversation is packed with insights and practical takeaways for anyone who wants to get the most out of working and living with others.Listen and Learn: What makes a group different from a one-on-one relationship, and why does that difference matter?Why relying on “sorting hat” thinking like personality tests or rigid categories can limit group success and fuel unhelpful divisionsWhy we often overlook the power of groupsCan you spot the invisible norms shaping your group before they push you toward extreme or unhealthy behaviors?How can bringing in new perspectives or encouraging psychological safety keep your group balanced and open-minded?What is psychological safety?How can groups achieve that magical sense of synergy?Creating high-performing teamsRelaunching groups to reset unhealthy patterns and improve team dynamicsResources:Colin's Book: The Collective Edge: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780593715345 Colins Website: https://colinmfisher.com/ Colin's Substack: https://colinmfisher.substack.com/Connect with Colin on Social Media: https://www.linkedin.com/in/colinmfisher?originalSubdomain=ukhttps://www.instagram.com/trumpetfisher/ Undoing Project by Michael Lewis: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780393354775 Work, Parent, Thrive by Yael Schonbrun: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781611809657 Social Intelligence Test: https://socialintelligence.labinthewild.org/mite/About Colin FisherSince his days as a professional jazz trumpet player, Colin Fisher has been fascinated by group dynamics.

Listening well is an essential aspect of leadership - not just to maintain good relationships with employees, but to drive real business improvements and results. But many of us still get it wrong - or might think we are good listeners but don't give that impression to our teams. Jeff Yip, assistant professor of management at Simon Fraser University's Beedle School of Business, explains why the skill is so important to business success and identifies the five main mistakes leaders make when it comes to listening. He is coauthor, along with Colin Fisher of University College London, of the HBR article “Are You Really A Good Listener?”

In the sixth episode of UCL School of Management's new podcast, host Vaughn Tan talks to Colin Fisher about his work ​on micromanagement and how to avoid it, especially in industries that require creativity. Colin explains how his experience as a professional musician helped shape his research focus, and the idea of how real-time interaction and improvisation in small groups lead us to new thoughts, new ways of behaving, and in some cases come up with something new that as individuals we wouldn't think of. You can find out more about Colin's work here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Colin Fisher, associate professor at University College London's School of Management, conducted in-depth studies at several companies to determine how managers can effectively help employees who need assistance without demoralizing them. He found that the most effective helpers were the ones who clearly communicated their intentions, timed their interventions at points when people were most receptive, and figured out a rhythm of involvement that best suited their needs. He shares examples from different firms to illustrate what works and what doesn't, in person and online. Fisher is the coauthor of the HBR article "How to Help (Without Micromanaging)."

Colin joined the Iowa program as a manager in the fall of 2015. Colin comes to the show to provide an interesting perspective on Iowa football that this podcast hasn't seen before. The managers each year are a select, small group of guys that are crucial to the program. They are essentially, along with several staff members, the people who make everything run smooth. They set up and tear down practice, they prepare the locker room and equipment for game days. They transport equipment to the stadium, they drive guys back and forth from the hotel during camp, they assist with meals, and so much more. Colin is one of the truly good dudes that spent time as a manager at Iowa and it was a joy to talk about all of this on the podcast. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/washed-up-walkons/support

I went to a meeting and a podcast broke out. That's how this interview came about when I visited Colin Fisher at the mid-town Toronto offices of StableView Asset Management and, unexpectedly, he set up his podcast gear and we recorded a conversation primarily about a real estate techology company that he thinks has "fantastic" management, is undervalued and is going much higher. Colin also discusses his investment style, why technology companies with sub-$150 million market caps are his sweet spot, and the investment firm he's planning to bring public soon that he says will change the way small Canadian technology companies are financed.

StableView's Colin Fisher joins Grace Pedota for a spirited chat about the recent and current trends in Canadian tech finance including an explanation as to why blockchain is still important, despite the initial failures of crypto currency (3:00), why he actually built a crypto mining rig in his office (11:30), and the opportunities emerging in the rapidly growing eSports sector (21:15). Listen until the end to hear his thoughts on going public versus staying private, his solution for tech finance in Canada, and a tease of this year's upcoming StableView Conference!

Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz are hot stuff in the world of genre movies. The pair wrote the screenplays for THOR and X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, as well as having written for the shows FRINGE, ANDROMEDA and the TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES. Scott interviews these delightful chaps about their new YA novel COLIN FISCHER. The conversation also delves into the subtleties of writing fiction as opposed to writing screenplays, and what it’s like to be the sole focal point of a book marketing campaign as opposed to being one of many faces when it comes to promoting a movie. And wait … what’s this? Do we break some major news on their next scifi project? Why, yes … yes they do. You want to hear that part, especially if you hate bugs.
