We’re resurfacing a favorite Jess Larsen Show conversation with Keith Ferrazzi—bestselling author of Never Eat Alone and the follow-up, Never Lead Alone.
In this episode, Keith breaks down why the next era of leadership isn’t “hero CEO” energy—it’s teams stepping into leadership together. Jess and Keith connect the dots between lean/TQM, agile, and what Keith calls the real opportunity right now: re-engineering collaboration and workflows (not just debating office polices).
You’ll hear practical tools from the book—like stress-testing, upgrading the team’s “social contract” from conflict avoidance to candor, and the simple “energy check” practice that helps teams actually have each other’s backs.
If you’re leading through hybrid work, AI change, or org complexity, this one still hits.
