Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups with Colin Fisher / PART TWO

from TCN Talks · host Chris Comeaux

In Part One, organizational behavior scholar Colin M. Fisher dismantles the myth of the lone genius, showing that performance is shaped less by individual talent and more by the groups people belong to. He reframes leadership around social norms, group dynamics, and collective context—arguing that leaders often misdiagnose performance problems by focusing on people instead of the group system they operate within.Part Two builds on that foundation with practical guidance for leaders. Fisher explains why teams frequently underperform—not because of effort or ability, but because organizations are designed to reward and manage individuals, not collective work. He introduces the concept of relaunching teams, offering a roadmap for resetting goals, norms, and roles so groups can move from friction to true collaboration. The episode closes with a powerful shift in perspective: sustainable performance improves when leaders stop fixing individuals and start strengthening the group.Episode Highlights• Why teams often perform worse than individuals—and how leaders can     change that.• The 60–30–10 rule that explains what really drives team performance• How to relaunch a struggling or inherited team• The role of shared goals, norms, and “superpowers” in building trust• Moving from me vs. you to us vs. the problemGuest:  Colin M.
