Superteams: The Science and Secrets of High-Performing Teams

The ultimate playbook for building high-performing teams, packed with counterintuitive insights, surprising science, and real-world lessons from the most comprehensive study of elite groups ever conducted.

What do the best teams do differently? To find out, award-winning social psychologist Ron Friedman surveyed thousands of teams and pinpointed the precise habits that separate the best from the rest. The results upend everything we think we know about teamwork. It turns out that the most successful teams aren’t the ones that collaborate most, get along best, or put in the longest hours. What really sets them apart is the way they manage their energy and attention, bring out the best in one another, and keep improving over time. Blending eye-opening discoveries with unforgettable stories, Superteams takes you inside the writers’ room of Succession and Bridgerton, the recording studio of ABBA and Fleetwood Mac, the kitchens of Michelin-starred restaurants, the laboratories of Nobel Prize–winning scientists, the locker rooms of NBA and NFL teams, and the boardrooms of the world’s most innovative companies. You’ll learn: -A simple rule that instantly cuts meeting time in half -The only office perk that improves team performance (spoiler: it’s not coffee) -Why feeling like the smartest person in the room is a red flag -Why top performers care more about disappointing their peers than their boss -How the best teams avoid burnout without working fewer hours -The one question that makes group decisions up to thirty percent smarter -How personal productivity hacks make teammates less reliable -What the best (and worst) leaders do differently -The fastest way to recharge after work -How to build a team that keeps getting better Smart, insightful, and relentlessly practical, this is your science-backed guide to turning your team into a Superteam.
