Peernovation – the framework, book, and company – is gaining momentum as we emerge from the COVID pandemic. Why? We think it’s because our work is effective (and efficient) to build and sustain high-performance cultures in teams, groups, and organizations. Peernovation is also fulfilling an urgent need as teams battle the negative consequences of siloing and seeking self-interests at the expense of the entire organization. In today’s show, Leo and Randy discuss how professional peer groups serve as a living lab for elevating team performance by incorporating the five factors of peer advantage. Today is the ideal time to incorporate these lab-learned lessons into your teams in order to lead your organization to new heights of human performance.
