About this listen

In this timeless guide on maximizing teams to achieve outstanding business success, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Who’s Got Your Back, and Never Eat Alone distills his years of experience coaching teams at Fortune 500 companies and startup unicorns to optimize team performance.

The world’s best teams don’t win because of leadership alone. They win because of teamship. Yet when it comes to success, it is leaders who are lauded; too little attention is given to the transformation of the team itself.

We’ve all but ignored how to extract billions of dollars of shareholder value from the interdependency of talent in teams, Keith Ferrazzi argues. Upgrading teams is one of the least curated and under-leveraged opportunities for success. It is time to focus on teamship.

But first we must reinvent our understanding of what teamship is and how it functions in a work world that is significantly more volatile, networked, hybrid, diverse, and inclusive than even a decade ago. New thinking about the false and debilitative assumptions that drive teams to underperform is overdue. We need to capture the bold spirit of co-creation and human ingenuity that drives teams like Astro Teller’s Google X to strive for and sustain innovation.

In Never Lead Alone, Ferrazzi shares the approach that drives his coaching practice—the playbook he has used to reboot team performance at major brands, including Mastercard, Intel, Starbucks, and General Motors, along with fast-growth unicorns like MongoDB, and Scopley and governments like Bhutan and NGOs like the World Bank.

Drawing on more than two decades of deep study with colleagues from the Ferrazzi Greenlight Research Institute, he identifies ten key shifts to unlock the potential of any team, accompanied with 20 High Return Practices that quickly turn each shift into a new team habit. Using the tools that have successfully rebooted team performance at Fortune 500 companies and unicorn brands, Never Lead Alone can help any organization experience innovation and exponential growth.

Practical and inspiring actions to improve team performance and wellbeing.

The mindset shift proposed in the book to create better teams through colaboration and co-elevation practices feels really accurate, specially now that ways of working are changing so much in every aspect.

The New Leadership Formula: Why No One Succeeds Alone

As someone deeply involved in building distributed teams and fostering genuine connections in the digital age, this book resonated powerfully with me. Ferrazzi's evolution from "Never Eat Alone" to "Never Lead Alone" perfectly captures the shift needed in today's decentralized work environment - from networking to true team cohesion.

The concept of "co-elevation" particularly struck home. In my experience with remote teams, the traditional hierarchical leadership model often falls short. Ferrazzi's framework for peer-to-peer accountability and shared feedback provides practical solutions to combat work loneliness while building high-performing teams.

The audiobook format works well for absorbing the key concepts, but I found pairing it with the physical book essential for implementing the detailed practices and tools. The combination allows you to listen for inspiration during commutes while having a reference guide for team exercises.

For leaders struggling with distributed team dynamics or anyone feeling isolated in their leadership journey, this book provides both the strategic framework and tactical tools needed to transform group dynamics into true teamship.
Pro tip: Listen to chapters on your commute, then use the physical book to implement the practices with your team. The ROI on both time and relationships will be significant.
