Do great teams need to like each other to succeed? Organizational psychologist Adam Grant says no. What matters more is alignment around a shared purpose—and a willingness to challenge one another.Uploaded 21-10-26In this episode of HBR IdeaCast, Grant joins host Adi Ignatius to discuss his new book, Vibe, and what leaders can do to build stronger teams, improve workplace culture, and foster meaningful connections. He explains why task cohesion matters more than social bonding, how to encourage productive disagreement, and why hiring for cultural fit can leave organizations vulnerable to groupthink. Grant also shares practical advice on onboarding new employees, giving and receiving candid feedback, and creating a culture where people feel safe speaking up. Plus, he explains why AI companions can’t replace the messy, sometimes uncomfortable interactions that make human relationships—and teams—stronger.Listen to the HBR IdeaCast for more conversations with leading thinkers on strategy, leadership, and…

How Industry Competition Theory Can Help Fix U.S. Politics 26 Oct 2020 --- Unhealthy competition is at the root of political dysfunction. Applying a famous business framework can help identify the best ways to fix it. Although people tend to think of the American political system as a public institution based on high-minded principles, it’s not. Politics behaves according to the same kinds of incentives and forces that shape competition in any private industry. Our elections and our legislative systems are drowning in unhealthy competition: The political-industrial complex wins, and the public interest loses. Business, in pursuing its short-term interests, has become a major participant in the politics industry, exacerbating its dysfunction. We can have healthy competition in politics—results, innovation, and accountability—by redesigning how we vote to connect acting in the public interest with getting reelected. Katherine Gehl's application of Michael Porter’s Five Forces framework illuminates the root…

In this conversation with former HBS dean Nitin Nohria, Iger shares what he’s learned about the decisions that really belong to the CEO: where to spend your time, when to step into a problem, when to get out of the way, how to shape culture, and how to lead when crisis becomes a constant.Uploaded 24-09-26Drawing on ideas from his new book, The CEO: The Role, the Reality, the Responsibility (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GD87T42Z), Nohria presses Iger on the realities of leading at the very top—including what Disney got wrong in its previous succession process and what Iger learned from having to return as CEO.

The Hidden Anxiety No One Talks About in Leadership 14 Nov 2025 --- Many leaders imagine the top job brings joy—but the first two years of a CEO’s tenure are often dominated by loneliness and anger.

Want to Be Happier? Value Time Over Money 18 Nov 2020 --- Here’s how to know if you’re making enough time for happiness, and what to do if you’re not. A preponderance of evidence shows that the feeling of having enough time — “time affluence” — is now at a record low in the United States. This situation is so severe it could even be described as a “famine” — a collective cultural failure to effectively manage our most precious resource, time. Time poverty exists across all economic strata, and its effects are profound. Research shows that those who feel time-poor experience lower levels of happiness and higher levels of anxiety, depression, and stress. They experience less joy. They laugh less. They exercise less and are less healthy. Their productivity at work is diminished. They are more likely to get divorced. Harvard Business School’s Ashley Whillans offers advice on how to reclaim your time--and be happier. For more: https://www.amazon.com/Time-Smart-Reclaim-Your-Happier-ebook/dp/B0842X6L2C…

Whole Foods CEO Jason Buechel on the Challenges and Opportunities of Following a Visionary Leader 29 Sep 2023 --- Jason Buechel, the CEO of Whole Foods, faced a unique challenge when he took over from cofounder John Mackey, who had been the company's CEO for 42 years. Buechel, who became CEO in 2022, had the opportunity to work closely with Mackey for nine years and had an 11-month transition period to prepare for the role. However, stepping into the shoes of a larger-than-life executive like Mackey was not only a personal challenge but a significant adjustment for Whole Foods employees, from the C-suite to the hundreds of local stores. Buechel recognized the importance of connecting with the team members, addressing their concerns, and assuring them that the company's culture, quality standards, and core values would remain intact under his leadership. He emphasized the need for authenticity and being true to oneself while also supporting the company's vision and direction. For this episode of our video…

How Salary Transparency Can Help You (and Your Workplace) 26 Oct 2023 --- How much money do you make? Did that question make you nervous? Uncomfortable? Or, maybe, excited? Historically speaking, talking about your salary (especially at work) was off limits. But things are changing — “salary transparency” is becoming the new norm, and for good reason. When people are aware of how much those around them make, everyone gets paid more fairly, which makes workplaces more equitable. But what does salary transparency actually look like in the workplace? How do you broach the subject with your coworkers, boss, friends, and even strangers?

Applying Porter’s Five Forces to Fix U.S. Politics | HBR IdeaCastUploaded 01-02-232 Feb 2023---Katherine Gehl, a former CEO and the founder of the Institute for Political Innovation, and Michael Porter, a professor at Harvard Business School, apply his Five Forces framework to explain why U.S. politics are dysfunctional. They argue that the Republican and Democratic parties make up an industry duopoly with high barriers to entry and low consumer power, and that the resulting lack of competition incentivizes these two dominant players to avoid compromises with majority support. Gehl and Porter provide specific innovations on how to enhance competition and better serve the public, including nonpartisan primary elections and ranked-choice voting.
