Ron Friedman surveyed six thousand teams expecting to find that the most collaborative ones win. The data said the opposite. Ron is a social psychologist (PhD, University of Rochester), bestselling author of The Best Place to Work and Decoding Greatness, and founder of Super Teams. The headline number: the average team burns eighteen hours a week in meetings and another eleven on email and messages — twenty-nine hours gone before anyone does real work. Super teams aren't smarter. They're just deliberate — fifty percent better at avoiding unnecessary meetings, fifty-four percent better at killing recurring ones.Guest Links: superteams.comHost Links: scalingcoach.com/Q20 | busyisbroken.comMentioned in this episode:PhD Research on CEOsQuick favor: I'm in the middle of my doctoral research, and I need CEOs Here's the question: is there a point where working more hours actually indicates a worse leader? Nobody has measured it. I'm measuring it. If you're a CEO or president with at least ten people in the business and three direct reports, it takes just a few minutes. And Your team answers a few anonymous questions. What you get back is a report comparing how you rate yourself to how your team rates you. That gap is usually the interesting part.

The final hour begins with ITL asking whether superteams actually work in the NFL and, more importantly, whether this year's Texans have assembled enough high-end talent to be considered one. With Houston entering the season with one of the league's most talented rosters and legitimate Super Bowl expectations, the guys debate what qualifies as an NFL superteam and whether stacking stars actually translates into championships. The show wraps with Figgy's Mixtape, featuring a steakhouse in Hollywood, Florida offering a monthly clothing-optional dinner experience, a classic SportsRadio 610 throwback phone call, and Buffalo Wild Wings introducing “Poppin' Ranch,” a ranch-flavored popping candy designed to add some pop to your food.

Solana blijft een bron van beweging, ook nu de markt in een bearmarket zit. In dit tweede deel schuift Geale Simon Postma aan, ambassadeur van de Solflare wallet en contentmaker op Eyekon. Samen met co-host Jacob Boersma, onafhankelijk paymentsexpert, kijken we naar de staat van het ecosysteem: hoe het sentiment is, wat je merkt van de dalende markt en of de grotere namen afhaken of juist blijven. De Solana Seeker, de tweede smartphone van het netwerk die vorige aflevering centraal stond, komt opnieuw langs. Leeft het toestel nog, wat gebeurt er met de bijbehorende tokens en hoe staat het met Solana als hardwareplatform? Ook de gameconsole passeert de revue, en de vraag of daar meer spellen voor verschijnen. Het grootste verhaal draait om de vervlechting van Wall Street en Solana. Voorspellingsmarkt Kalshi laat zien hoe die werelden in elkaar schuiven, maar het meest sprekende voorbeeld is SpaceX. Op de dag dat het bedrijf van Elon Musk naar de beurs ging, verscheen er tegelijk een getokeniseerd aandeel op Solana. Achter dat product zit Backpack, dat voor elk uitgegeven token daadwerkelijk een SpaceX aandeel koopt en in bewaring houdt. Daardoor kun je het token inwisselen voor het echte aandeel en het overzetten naar een gewone effectenrekening. Dat model botst met concurrent xStocks, die een andere constructie hanteert. De onderliggende vraag: worden dit soort getokeniseerde aandelen een kernonderdeel van Solana, en hoe hard gaat het nu al? Onder de motorkap verandert er ondertussen veel. Firedancer, de nieuwe softwareclient van Jump Crypto, draait inmiddels een halfjaar live en maakt het netwerk minder afhankelijk van één implementatie. Nog ingrijpender is Alpenglow, de protocolwijziging die proof of history overboord gooit, de cryptografische klok waarop Solana sinds de start draaide. De validators stemden er met ruim 98 procent voor, een percentage dat Simon gekscherend Noord-Koreaans noemt. De vraag is of al die extra snelheid werkelijk nodig was, en wat Solana volgens Simon nu écht onderscheidt. Tot slot het leven op en rond het netwerk. Superteam bestaat een halfjaar en verbindt bouwers via onder meer een Creator Bounty. Pokemonkaarten groeien uit tot een onverwachte hype op Solana, en influencer Ansem duikt op rond Black Bull. Zitten we daarmee aan het begin van een nieuwe memecoincyclus? Co-host is Jacob Boersma. Over de podcast Cryptocurrency are here to stay.

I talk with Ron Friedman, award-winning social psychologist and bestselling author of The Best Place to Work and Super Teams, about what high-performing teams actually do differently. We get into why great teams avoid unnecessary meetings, how teammates make each other better, why feedback usually fails, and how AI is changing collaboration, curiosity, communication, and accountability at work.

Pat Boyle and Kate Constable discuss whether Aaron Donald could come out of retirement and return to the Rams alongside Myles Garrett, creating a potentially unstoppable defensive front in Los Angeles.

Ever wondered what sets high-performing 'super teams' apart from those that are stalling? It's not just about talent, but a shared belief in your collective ability to learn, adapt, and succeed together. In this episode, Helen and Sarah borrow brilliance from a feeling and dive deep into one of the most relevant topics in work and careers right now. Drawing on the latest research into high-performing team dynamics and Helen and Sarah's own team-building frameworks, they explore how every team member can influence performance, and what your default response to collaboration reveals about you.

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with social psychologist and author Ron Friedman to crack the hidden code behind the world's most successful groups. Why do some teams ordinary on paper achieve extraordinary breakthroughs, while teams of superstars completely implode? It isn't luck, and it isn't chemistry—it is a science. Friedman pulls back the curtain on the counterintuitive secrets of Superteams: The Science and Secrets of High-Performing Teams, revealing the invisible forces that drive peak collaboration. If you think you know how to build a great team, prepare to have your assumptions completely overturned. Discover the surprising patterns that top-tier organizations use to out-innovate the competition, and learn why traditional leadership advice might actually be sabotaging your team's potential.

LeBron James has told the Lakers to move on. Now the Golden State superteam is no longer a rumor. Covino & Rich break down the Big Four: LeBron, Anthony Davis, Steph Curry, and Draymond Green.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT ranks the 10 biggest offseason moves that could decide the Super Bowl race, from Myles Garrett transforming the Rams into the NFL's newest superteam to Jesse Minter, Jim Leonhard, Kenneth Walker, Jaylen Waddle, Trey Hendrickson, Trent McDuffie, DJ Moore, Mike McDaniel, and Dexter Lawrence changing the championship outlook for their new teams. JT also breaks down why the Rams' loaded roster comes with more risk than people realize, responds to backlash over ranking the Bengals ahead of the Steelers, explains why Lamar Jackson continues to be judged by a different standard despite building a Hall of Fame résumé, examines the Denver Broncos' rise from dark horse to legitimate Super Bowl contender, discusses why the San Francisco 49ers remain dangerous despite losing the NFC spotlight, and previews Mike McCarthy's first season with the Steelers by asking whether Pittsburgh's new era can finally end years of playoff frustration. Could the Rams become the NFL's next dynasty? Can the Broncos, Ravens, Bills, Bengals, Chiefs, or 49ers stop them? And which offseason move will ultimately decide who hoists the Lombardi Trophy?

Hour 1: The Lebron James Saga Continues: Warriors in the Mix The sports world is abuzz with the latest news on Lebron James' potential move to the Golden State Warriors. In this episode, the hosts dive into the latest developments and discuss the implications of this potential blockbuster trade. With the Warriors' Draymond Green opting out of his contract, it seems like the team is making a bold move to acquire the NBA superstar. But is this a smart decision, or are they just trying to win at all costs? The hosts discuss the pros and cons of bringing Lebron to the Warriors, including the potential for a championship run and the risk of injury to key players. They also touch on the Warriors' history with Lebron, including their epic battles in the NBA Finals. With the team's roster already looking strong with Steph Curry and Draymond Green, can they really make it work with Lebron on board? The hosts also explore the possibility of other teams in the mix, including the Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat. The conversation also delves into the personal side of Lebron's decision, with some speculating that he's looking for a new challenge and a chance to play with his friend and rival, Steph Curry. Others wonder if he's just looking for a change of scenery after years of being the face of the Lakers. Whatever the reason, one thing is clear: this is a move that will shake up the NBA landscape. Tune in to this episode to hear the hosts break down the latest news and speculate on what's next for Lebron James and the Golden State Warriors. Will they make it work, or will this be a move that ends in disaster? Listen to find out!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Key Learnings Ron's dad threw himself into impossible challenges and taught his family the dignity of hard work. A physician in Israel, he didn't want his son in the army, so he picked up the phone and started dialing hospitals in New York City until he landed a job at NYU. He pulled his family out of a country he knew, didn't speak the language fluently, and succeeded anyway. Ron dedicated Super Teams to him. He recently passed away. Only 8% of teams qualify as super teams. Ron's team polled thousands of workers and asked two questions: How effective is your team at meeting its goals? And how does it compare to others in your industry? Super teams hit the perfect score. The only office amenity that statistically drives performance: quiet space for focused work. Not the gym. Not the ping-pong table. Most offices are an attentional war zone. That's why people prefer working from home. How a team works matters more than where a team works. Remote, hybrid, in-office. The data shows none of those predict performance. Intention does. Don't make meetings the default. Make them the last resort. Super teams are 50% better at avoiding unnecessary meetings and 54% less likely to schedule recurring ones. Recurring meetings are insidious. Once they're on the calendar, removing one feels like breaking up with someone. So they just live there forever. Ron's rule: no decision, no meeting. Have a question? Pick up the phone. Have an update? Record a video or send an email. Don't pull people away from their work. The average worker loses 18 hours a week to meetings. And another 11 hours to messages. That's three-quarters of the week gone before they've achieved a single task. Meeting-free days cut stress in half and increase productivity by 71%. People go home feeling satisfied because they were able to actually do the work. Three pillars of super teams: They get more done by managing time, energy, and attention. They don't just collaborate. They actively make each other better. They're never satisfied. They're constantly building skills and improving. Recovery isn't passive. Scrolling Instagram or binging Netflix helps you wind down, but it doesn't restore your energy. Mastery experiences do. Learn a new song. Try pickleball. Cook a new recipe. When leaders recover, their teams perform better. A well-rested leader shows up in a positive mood. That mood lifts the team. Investing in your own recovery isn't selfish. It moves your team forward. The best leaders support their people's side hustles. Not because they assign them, but because their people feel they have permission to grow outside the job. That's a signal you care about the person, not just the output. Three factors predict trust in a leader: competence, caring, consistency. Any one of them breaks down and trust breaks down. "How was your weekend?" is lame. Be specific. Ask about the kid's soccer game by name. Specificity proves you actually thought about the person. People need to be appreciated for who they are, not just what they do. That's how they feel cared for. The top three characteristics of toxic teammates: unreliable, bad attitude, and arrogant. The top three characteristics of the best teammates: knowledgeable, dependable, and a good communicator. Notice what's not on the list. Funny. Good listener. Caring. Those are nice-to-haves. They don't move the team forward. The best teammates make excellence the norm. On super teams, 94% say their teammates motivate them to do their best work. On super teams, 82% say they feel worse about letting down their teammates than their manager. When people know their teammates are counting on them, they work harder. Constant togetherness is not collaboration. The Succession writers' room cycled between solo writing and group critique. Real collaboration protects focus time first. Brainwriting beats brainstorming. Have people generate ideas alone first, then bring them to the room. You get higher quantity and higher quality ideas. 97% of feedback fails to lift performance. Over a third actively makes it worse. What does the 3% do differently? Focus on one thing at a time. Future-oriented, not past-oriented. Top performers want to know what they did wrong. Confidence allows them to absorb criticism and correct it. Most people aren't there. Gauge the feedback to the person. Great football coaches give feedback differently to the quarterback than the lineman. Know your people. Adjust your approach. Comedians get better at the Comedy Cellar because of what happens next door. Seinfeld, Chappelle, and Schumer gather at the Lemon Tree Cafe after sets to critique each other. Ryan calls it the "see it, say it" mentality, an ethos his teammate Geron Stokes brings every day. Great compliment, say it. Falling short of the standard, say it. The best teammates care enough to tell you how you can improve. Ron's champagne moment a year from now: his 19-year-old daughter landing a finance internship she earned on her own. Reflection Questions What's your recurring meeting that should be a breakup conversation? When was the last time you asked a teammate something specific about their life, by name? Or are you defaulting to "how was your weekend?" What's your version of the Comedy Cellar's Lemon Tree Cafe? Who do you go to for the candid feedback that makes you better?
