James Scouller Appearance on “The Modern Manager” Podcast

Posted on

Mamie Kanfer Stewart invited me to join her on her highly regarded podcast, The Modern Manager. It went live as episode #308 on YouTube, Spotify, Apple iTunes, Stitcher, iHeart Radio and Amazon. It aired on 28 May 2024.

Mamie describes the Modern Manager podcast this way: “I interview top notch guests on a wide range of topics to help you create a workplace culture where people get to be their best selves and do their best work.”

You won’t be surprised to hear we discussed my new trilogy, How To Build Winning Teams Again And Again and addressed questions like:

  • What makes a team different from other small work groups?
  • Pseudo teams and performance groups – what are they?
  • What a “real” team looks like in the workplace.
  • How to choose the right type of work group – a real team or a performance group?
  • What it takes for budding teams to navigate the three big psychological issues – Commit, Combust and Combine (3Cs).
  • How to encourage people to put the team before their personal needs.
