Listen "Keith Ferrazzi Talks About Teamship and Transforming the Way We Work"
Episode Synopsis
It was a real treat to welcome Keith Ferrazzi back to the show—especially to discuss his latest book, Never Lead Alone: 10 Shifts from Leadership to Teamship. Keith’s work has long pushed beyond traditional leadership models, and this conversation builds on that legacy with his fresh concept of “teamship.”We dig into how the book is structured like a workbook, intentionally concise but rich with practices, diagnostics, and stories from leaders who’ve made the shift. Keith shares not only what teamship is, but why it matters more than ever—especially in a world that’s still grappling with how work actually works.Six Discussion PointsWhy the term “teamship” matters and how it reframes traditional leadership modelsThe power of practices like “stress testing” and “candor breaks” in elevating team dynamicsHow the book is structured for flexibility and immediate application—like a toolkit, not a textbookWhy teams should redefine who is on their “team” beyond the org chartThe myth of efficiency and how true growth emerges through inclusive co-creationWhy engineers—more than MBAs—are driving the future of how we collaborateThree Connection PointsKeithFerrazzi.comNever Lead Alone: 10 Shifts from Leadership to TeamshipEpisode 306: Leading Without Authority with Keith FerrazziThis conversation reminded me why Keith’s work continues to influence how I think about leadership, collaboration, and the future of work. Never Lead Alone isn’t just a book title—it’s a call to action for all of us to stop putting the weight of progress on a single set of shoulders. The path forward is teamship. I hope this conversation sparks that shift for you, too.
