How to build effective teams with AJ Thomas

What is a team? In this episode, leadership advisor and award-winning author AJ Thomas joins Chris to explain why traditional definitions don’t cut it anymore. If we reframe teams as any group of people collaborating together, she argues, we can transcend scoreboard anxiety and mobilize the shared connections and curiosities that help us win. For AJ, the key is to focus on the journey, not the jump shots. By celebrating the small successes behind every victory, we enable genuine engagement and can harness a more holistic approach to hiring, leadership, and decision-making. The conversation also covers the impact of technology and AI on team dynamics, what talent leaders can learn from Gen Z, and why the résumé could soon be a thing of the past. Watch now to hear more inspiring insights and expert predictions on the future of work.
