585R: How Top Leaders Influence Great Teamwork, with Scott Keller

Teamwork and leadership are explored through a conversation with Scott Keller, a senior partner at McKinsey. Drawing an analogy to the hidden connections in a forest, the discussion emphasizes the importance of team dynamics over mere mechanics. Keller highlights how top leaders focus on shaping team psychology, citing the 1992 Olympic Dream Team's strategic loss as an example. The conversation covers the critical balance between short-term results and long-term vision when staffing teams, as well as the necessity of "one team" attitude. Keller introduces a structured approach to shifting mindsets, involving role modeling, storytelling, enabling mechanisms, and building skills, to foster a unified team environment.
