Drawing on case studies from billion-dollar companies, elite sports teams and record-breaking artists, he reveals how to:

• Harness the motivating elements of competition 
• Manage conflict while encouraging productive disagreement 
• Create the conditions for cooperation, creativity and synergy
• Build a culture of shared leadership and learning

The highest-performing teams are more than the sum of their parts. Whether you’re a leader, a team member, or simply curious about group dynamics, The Collective Edge provides vital wisdom that will help your groups unlock their true potential.
