Keith Ferrazzi, founder of Ferrazzi Greenlight, is a pioneering executive coach, thought leader, and New York Times #1 bestselling author. For over two decades, he's transformed Fortune 500 companies, unicorn startups, and governments by challenging teams to break silos and embrace "teamship" over leadership. As the leader of the Greenlight Research Institute, Keith drives innovation in team performance and collaboration. His Radical Innovators Collaborative unites bold thinkers for groundbreaking ideas and best practices. A prolific writer featured in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and more, Keith's books include Never Eat Alone, Leading Without Authority, and the cutting-edge Never Lead Alone. In 2024, he received the prestigious Coaches 50 Award, honouring the world's top executive coaches. Beyond coaching, he's a philanthropist and strategic investor committed to driving meaningful social impact.In this episode, Dominic explores innovative collaboration methods such as co-elevation and constructive conflict, the need for a shift from individual resilience to collective team resilience and the potential of AI in shaping future team structures. Keith shares anecdotes from coaching executive teams and the insights gained from his research on high-performing teams, highlighting the importance of collaboration, feedback, and a culture of candour in achieving team success. Hear his thoughts about moving away from traditional hierarchical models to more fluid, self-managed teams, advocating for a culture of openness and shared responsibility.DiscoverShift from Leadership to Teamship - Leaders are encouraged to empower their teams to self-manage rather than controlling or micromanaging by transitioning from a traditional leadership model to "teamship" - where responsibility is shared across the team. This helps dismantle silos within organisations, fostering collective accountability and better performance.Candour Over Conflict Avoidance - Radical transparency and open feedback are critical for high-performing teams. Avoiding conflict often leads to mediocrity, while embracing candid and constructive feedback leads to innovation and trust. Practical tools like "candour breaks" and stress testing enable teams to comfortably critique ideas and improve collaboration.Asynchronous Collaboration and Agile Practices - Traditional meeting-centric collaboration methods are inefficient. Harnessing asynchronous collaboration (e.g., collecting input via shared documents) and agile sprints can make decision-making faster and more inclusive. This modern approach aligns team efforts around Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and prevents siloed working.Redefining Teams Beyond Org Charts - Teams aren't merely those on the organisational chart. Instead, they should be built dynamically around specific goals or KPIs. For example, solving a sales issue may require involvement from marketing, product, and finance—not just the sales department. This approach reduces finger-pointing and fosters cross-functional ownership.Practices for Building Resilient and Celebratory Teams - High-performing teams focus not only on achieving results but also on maintaining team well-being. Practices like monthly "energy checks" ensure team members support one another during challenging times. Additionally, celebrating successes creates a culture of positivity and enhances morale. Peer-to-peer recognition is particularly impactful and energising.Book recommendations:Andrew McAfee - The Geek Way

How do you build a team that genuinely cares for each other?You already know how important building your positive peer group is for your brain. The same principles apply to your team within the workplace. It's common to look at your coworkers or employees as a group of individuals.

He's here to talk about his latest book, Never Lead Alone: 10 Shifts from Leadership to Teamship.It isn't important that everyone on your team has the exact same struggle.

In this episode, we're breaking down one of the biggest myths in business: that leadership alone is responsible for driving accountability and growth. The truth? The most successful teams don't wait for top-down direction—they hold each other accountable, create moments of radical candor, and challenge one another to be better every single day.Inspired by the work of Keith Ferrazzi, we'll explore how peer-to-peer accountability fuels performance, why candor isn't about being harsh but about pushing each other toward excellence, and how teams that embrace this mindset move faster, innovate more, and create cultures where people thrive.If you're tired of waiting on leadership to step in, this episode will show you how to build a team that holds itself to the highest standard—no permission required.

What if successful teams could operate without a leader?Spoiler Alert: If you still think leadership is about barking orders from the top, Keith Ferrazzi is here to tell you: you're doing it wrong. The legendary author of Never Eat Alone is here, and he's coming for your org chart.Tune in to discover why traditional leadership is dead, how AI is forcing us all to rethink teamwork, and why teamship is the future. Key Moments: 0:00 Who is Keith Ferrazzi, Author of Never Lead Alone?06:43 The Importance of Team Dynamics10:49 Shifts in Leadership and the Impact of Teamship15:19 Implementing Effective Team Practices23:41 Adapting to Market Changes27:06 The Future of Jobs and AI Transformation28:59 Navigating AI-Induced Societal Disruption35:59 Empowered Teams and the Magic of Holacracy38:37 High Return Practices for Team Success46:48 The Next 20 Years: AI and Human Collaboration  Mission.org is a media studio producing content alongside world-class clients.

You've probably heard me talk about the “hub-and-spoke” model. Where the leader sits in the middle, doing all the heavy lifting and worrying that if they let go of any task, the whole machine breaks. I've lived it. It's exhausting. But my friend Keith Ferrazzi—legendary connector, best-selling author (Never Eat Alone, Leading Without Authority), and CEO whisperer—has a game-changing approach to fix this once and for all.In our latest Capability Amplifier conversation, Keith reveals the simple but powerful shifts that can transform any team from conflict-avoidant and siloed into a culture of true candor, co-elevation, and monthly “sprints” that deliver real results.If you've ever felt like you're juggling a thousand balls, terrified that even one fumble means disaster, this episode is for you. Trust me: learning to “expect more from your team” isn't just wishful thinking. It's the key to freedom, growth, and a whole new level of performance.KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYSFrom Conflict Avoidance to Radical CandorMost teams tiptoe around tough feedback, creating tension and stifling creativity. Keith's framework calls for mandated “stress testing” sessions where teammates challenge and support each other—because refusing to let each other fail is the highest form of respect.The End of Hub-and-Spoke LeadershipLeaders often feel trapped in the center, being the sole accountability hammer. Keith's model shifts the burden from “the boss” to “the team,” freeing leaders to innovate, strategize, or even launch a new venture.Monthly Sprints & TransparencyKeith's secret sauce: each team member outlines (1) what they achieved, (2) where they're struggling, and (3) what the next sprint looks like. Then everyone else digs in to offer fresh ideas, challenges, and collaboration. The result? Friction dissolves, and real breakthroughs happen on schedule.Embrace the Challenge CultureFeedback is no longer top-down. It's peer-to-peer and is given out of genuine commitment to each other's success. When you institutionalize candid advice—and do it with heart—you'll see your organization leap from “meh” to unstoppable.The “Co-Elevation” MindsetKeith coined the term “co-elevation” to describe teams that won't let anyone sink. This goes beyond teamwork. It's about building an environment where people actively lift each other up. Think radical accountability meets radical empathy.Super-Users for Change (Especially with AI)Instead of forcing top-down training, identify (or create) “black belts” or champions who love new tech, like AI or project management tools. Let them spread the fire from within, and watch adoption skyrocket.Beyond Connections – Keith's CommunityIf you loved Never Eat Alone, Keith's got a new community that teaches entrepreneurs, salespeople, and anyone seeking deeper relationships how to integrate authentic connection into all areas of business and life.TIME STAMPS[00:00:00] High-Performing Shifts: Keith introduces the 10 critical shifts for building a high-performing team, starting with moving from conflict avoidance to candor.[00:01:16] “Never Lead Alone”: Why Keith's new book is all about real team success (not just individual heroics) and how it transforms the workplace.[00:02:21] From Blue-Collar Beginnings: Keith shares his origin story—how one relationship at a golf course (showing up 30 minutes early!) changed his life trajectory.[00:05:36] Candor and Vulnerability: Why the bravest thing a leader can do is create an environment where people speak the truth—even when it hurts.[00:07:59] Teams Owning Each Other's Success: How to shift from hierarchical “hub-and-spoke” management to true teamship, and the monthly “stress test” method that sets a new culture.[00:14:03] Agile Sprints & Accountability: The exact practice Keith recommends: 30-day cycles, open sharing of wins, struggles, and next moves, plus peer challenge.[00:20:18] The AI Integration Example: Turning friction points into opportunities by creating “super-users” who evangelize adoption from the inside, not via top-down mandates.[00:26:55] Open 360° & Coaching Culture: Turning performance reviews into empowering group sessions, where every individual gets supportive critique from the entire team.[00:34:41] Beyond Connections Program: Keith's return to his relationship-building roots—why “Never Eat Alone” fans will find a new home in this eight-week immersion.[00:38:29] Expect More, Achieve More: Keith's biggest revelation: leaders who ask for more from their teams create not just better results, but a culture of freedom and genuine growth for everyone.If you're ready to let go of the “hub-and-spoke” hamster wheel, build an unstoppable culture of accountability and authenticity, and still have a life…Then DO NOT MISS Keith's new book, Never Lead Alone – you can get it here on Amazon right now. If you want to master the art (and science) of deep relationship-building to fuel your business, check out his community at ConnectedSuccess.com.Additional Resources:Download your FREE digital and/or audio version of my bestselling book, “Ai Accelerator”Download your FREE copy of "Your Next Act" hereSUBSCRIBE FOR MORE VIDEOS

Keith Ferrazzi: Never Lead Alone Keith Ferrazzi is an entrepreneur and global thought leader in high-performing teams and Chairman of Ferrazzi Greenlight and its Research Institute. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller Who's Got Your Back and bestsellers like Never Eat Alone, Leading Without Authority, and Competing in the New World of Work. His newest book with Paul Hill is titled Never Lead Alone: 10 Shifts from Leadership to Teamship*. Whenever I'm having a conversation with someone about getting better at coaching, it's almost always through the lens of, “How do I do it well?” In this conversation, Keith and I explore another perspective most of us miss: how does the team do coaching better for each other. Key Points Good leaders give feedback and hold people accountable. Great leaders ensure the team gives feedback and holds people accountable. Teamship starts right at the start. Organizations like e.l.f. Beauty begin these practices during onboarding. We over index on mindset. Starting with the right practices will shape the beliefs that helps teamship emerge. Use an open 360 where people share one thing they appreciate/admire/respect and one thing they suggest. The 5/5/5 Learning Roadmap invites team members to share a struggle, respond to questions, and receive feedback. We're used to feedback being directive. Feedback from peers is data. We can consider it without acting on it.

But when we choose the bold new methodology of  Co-Elevation  as our operating model, we unlock the potential to boost productivity, deepen commitment and engagement, and create a level of trust, mutual accountability, and purpose that exceeds what could have been accomplished under the status quo. Regardless of your title, position, or where or how you work, the ability to lead without authority is an essential workplace competency."

Stephen M. R. Covey: Trust & Inspire Stephen M. R. Covey is a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author and former CEO of Covey Leadership Center. He led the strategy that propelled his father's book, Dr. Stephen R. Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, to become one of the two most influential business books of the 20th Century, according to CEO Magazine. He's the author The Speed of Trust and more recently Trust & Inspire: How Truly Great Leaders Unleash Greatness in Others*. Despite everything we know about good leadership, a lot of places still operate in a command and control mindset. In this conversation, Stephen and I explore the key ways to shift from command and control to trust and inspire. Key Points In spite of all progress, most leaders today are still operating from a command and control mindset. The carrot and stick approach still dominates most organizational cultures and tactics. The biggest barrier to becoming a Trust & Inspire leader is when we think we already are one. People are whole people. The best leaders care for the body, heart, mind, and spirit. There is enough for everyone. Trust & Inspire leaders elevate caring above competition. Enduring influence is created from the inside out. The job of the leader is to go first. All people have greatness inside them. Trust & Inspire leaders work to unleash potential, not control it.
