About this listen

Why do some teams click while others struggle, despite having top talent?


That’s exactly what our host David Green explores in this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, with guest Dr. Colin Fisher - PhD Programme Director at UCL School of Management and author of The Collective Edge.


With a background in organisational behaviour, Colin brings a fresh lens to one of the most critical - and misunderstood - aspects of modern work: how teams are structured, and how that structure shapes everything from communication to creativity to performance.


Join them and learn more about:


  • Why the seeds of team success - or failure - are planted before Day One
  • The 60-30-10 rule for high-performing teams (and why most leaders focus on the wrong 10%)
  • How to design work that kills free-riding and boosts engagement
  • Why psychological safety is a non-negotiable - and how to build it fast
  • How AI and team design intersect, and what leaders need to do right now
