“Why are we so fixated on the individual self? I think it was a big con. The individual self is a relatively modern invention.

If we shifted our focus from the individual to the collective how different would our results at work be?I'm joined by Colin Fisher who explains that great teams are the most important contributors to great outcomes at work.

I’m often asked asked which company cultures I admire, especially as I tend to be critical of the culture inside tech firms. It’s easy to have good vibes in small firms but organisations who manage to deliver good culture at scale are the ones I’m most interested in.

But I would suggest that a more noble pursuit is that of calendar zero".I chatted to Howard Lerman this week.
