Are you still managing your team the old way—while others are using breakthrough strategies to build unstoppable momentum?

In a world where AI is reshaping entire industries and the workforce is more dispersed than ever, staying relevant as a leader means more than just adapting—it means radically rethinking how your team operates. This episode is for CEOs and executives who want to build resilient, innovative, high-performing teams—and stop carrying the weight of leadership alone.

In this episode with Keith Ferrazzi, you'll learn how to:

Build a culture of “teamship” where leadership is shared, not hoarded—so your company thrives even when you’re not in the room.
Adopt battle-tested collaboration practices that drive innovation, accountability, and psychological safety in remote or hybrid teams.
Replace outdated “report outs” with “stress tests” that elevate performance, challenge complacency, and deepen peer-to-peer support.

Press play now to discover the 21st-century leadership tools that will help you future-proof your team and free up your time without sacrificing results.
