Summary
My guest today is Shane Snow, the author of “Dream Teams: Working Together Without Falling Apart” and the bestseller, “Smartcuts.” Shane is also an award-winning journalist, celebrated entrepreneur, and co-founder of Contently. Shane uses the success of the Soviet Union’s 1980’s hockey team as an example and sheds light on what made them so uniquely successful. It was not the individuals that defined the success of the team, it was the collective team as a whole.
The topic is his book Dream Teams: Working Together Without Falling Apart.
In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:
- Teamwork
- Dream teams
- Diversification
- Cognitive diversity
- Daimlerchrysler
- Wu Tang Clan
- Intellectual differences to elevate a discussion
