This is the Read to Lead podcast, episode 484.

I don't need to know what your anagram number is.

I need to know why your emails are so long.

I don't need to know what your disc letter is. I need to know how you prefer to receive

feedback. Why are some teams more motivated, innovative, and successful than others? Why does some

groups of talented people fall short against lesser teams? And how do you go about building a high-performing

team? Hi, I'm Jeff Brown, and this is the

Read to Lead podcast, the podcast dedicated to your personal and professional growth. If you want to

achieve true success in business and in life, I believe that an intentional and consistent

reading habit is a key part of that journey. In nearly every episode, I invite an author to come in and share

with us about their book and their unique insights on a number of different topics.

Today's guest, who's been here twice before, is author David Burkis. His new book is called

Best Team Ever, the Surprising Science of High Performing Teams. I'll be asking David to share about common understanding, psychological safety, and what he calls pro-social purpose,

how building empathy on a team allows members to raise their level of collective intelligence,

the idea that trust is more about reciprocity than it is about being earned or given, and

much more.
