Why Some Teams Fly and Others Fall Apart: Dr Colin Fisher

In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Colin Fisher, author of the book The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups. Colin’s journey is a fascinating one—starting out as a professional jazz trumpet player before becoming a leading scholar in organisational behaviour. His research digs into the dynamics of how groups and teams really work, why they so often succeed—or fail—and what leaders can do to harness their true potential.

We talk about everything from sports and music to corporate life and family dynamics, exploring why some teams thrive while others stumble, the balance between individual ego and collective success, and even how AI and remote work are reshaping collaboration today.

Whether you’re a leader, a team member, or just curious about why groups behave the way they do, this conversation is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.

So, sit back and enjoy my conversation with Dr. Colin Fisher.
