The Soul and Structure of Great Teams with Jacob Taylor

What’s the secret sauce of a great team? On this episode of The Future of Teamwork, Dane Groeneveld interviews Jacob Taylor, a fellow at the Center for Sustainable Development at Brookings, anthropologist, and former professional rugby player, to explore what drives high-performing teams. Jacob explains how every successful team is built on two essential elements – soul and structure – and how those relationships, trust, and shared purpose drive people to do their best work. Jacob also shares how "vibe teaming" helps teams generate better ideas and better outcomes, and how to get away from traditional top-down structures in favor of more empowered, self-directed teams.
