Best Team Ever: The Surprising Science Of High-Performing Teams
Why are some teams more motivated, more innovative, and more successful than others? Why do some groups of talented and seemingly compatible people fall short against lesser teams with less suitable members? And why are we still so surprised about which team members excel, and which ones fail?

We know that high-performing teams deliver higher value results more consistently. But how do you build that high performing team? More often than not, great teams don’t become great because they recruit top talent or pay top dollar. Instead, building the best team ever is about shaping the habits and culture that bring out the best in each team member.

In this highly interactive program, we’ll review what the effective teams in the world do differently, and how you can start doing the same on your team. Leaders will leave with a clear and concise understanding of how the culture of their team affects its performance and a simple and practical blueprint for how to build the best team ever.

Key Takeaways:
- How to create clarity and dependability on any team.
- How to generate team cohesion and cooperation.
- How to build purpose and meaning into every role on a team.

Leading From Anywhere: How To Build High Performing Remote and Hybrid Teams
It’s undeniable that we’re entering a new era of remote work. While many leaders seek to run a business as usual, why settle for the usual when remote teams allow us to work even better? The research shows that employees are more productive and engaged when they have the freedom to work from anywhere. This means leaders need the skills to lead from anywhere.

In this meticulously researched, refreshingly practical talk, top business thought leader David Burkus provides managers with a complete guide to leading remotely, packed with everyday examples and illuminating insights. Burkus tackles the key inflection points and challenges that remote managers face from taking the team remote and adding new members to communicating effectively and quickly, managing performance, keeping the team engaged, and even helping them strike the right balance between work and life. This talk provides everything you’ll need to survive and thrive as the leader of a remote team — which is something all leaders will need to consider themselves from now on.

Key Takeaways:
- How to create a thriving team culture remotely
- How to build bonds and increase engagement from afar
- How to help your team limit distractions and avoid burnout when working remotely


Innovation Is A Team Sport
Why do so many innovation efforts fail? Why do our best attempts at creative problem-solving never seem to reach their full potential?

The cause of both frustrations, it turns out, is actually the same. In this keynote, Burkus targets a common misconception about creativity and innovation efforts: that it has to do with changing how individuals think. Instead, research reveals that “lone creators” are historically rare, and for most innovations, creativity is a team sport. By combining insights from social science research and practical takeaways from the most innovative companies and teams, Burkus outlines a prescription for any team or organization to work more creatively together, without silos, politics, or frustration. Burkus’ insights are practical, applicable, and tailored to the audience’s situation.

Key Takeaways:
- Why creativity is everyone’s business
- How to leverage conflict for more innovative ideas
- How to find the best ideas in your team or organization
