In this episode, I discuss Derren Brown, Solomon Asch, the conformity bias, social loafing, my favourite reality TV show … and why most of us feel uncreative and unproductive at large organizations. 

Tune in to hear Professor Ayelet Fishbach and I share why groups can dampen our productivity, why dishonest leaders create dishonest teams, and how to convince a sane member of the public they’re flying through space while sitting in a room in Ipswich.
