Half your team hates team building activities.
And no, it’s not because they’re antisocial.

Our latest Leadership IQ study of 6,821 employees found that nearly half say traditional “forced-fun” team building makes them uncomfortable or fake.

The irony?
Those same people are often your most valuable team members — the Achievers, Stabilizers, and analytical Trailblazers quietly holding everything together.

They’re the ones catching mistakes before anyone notices, keeping projects on track, and spotting risks before they explode. But they’re getting sidelined by a corporate culture that equates “team player” with being outgoing and talkative.

If your team can’t make decisions, if meetings drag on, or if people stop sharing what they really think — the issue isn’t trust or chemistry.
It’s missing roles.

True team building isn’t karaoke and escape rooms.
It’s learning to balance the five critical roles that make real teams work: Director, Achiever, Stabilizer, Harmonizer, and Trailblazer.

👉 Read my new Forbes article to see what the data reveals about why most team building activities fail — and what to do instead.

Today’s a big day!
My new book TEAM PLAYERS: The Five Critical Roles You Need to Build a Winning Team hits shelves today.

We’ve all been told that great teams are about trust, cohesion, and communication.

But what my research uncovered is that even the most “tight-knit” teams fail when they’re missing the right mix of roles.

Every extraordinary team has five critical roles:
The Director (decides), Achiever (executes), Stabilizer (organizes), Harmonizer (connects), and Trailblazer (innovates).

When one is missing—or overrepresented—performance drops, engagement suffers, and frustration soars.

TEAM PLAYERS reveals how to identify your natural role, balance your team, and unleash every person’s unique superpower.

Endorsed by leaders like PetSmart CEO Ken Hicks and Dunkin’ Donuts’ former CEO Robert Rosenberg, it’s for anyone who wants to build—or be part of—a truly high-performing team.

New research shows why half your team secretly dreads “fun” team-building.

Nearly half of employees say traditional “forced-fun” activities—like icebreakers and games—make them uncomfortable or feel fake.

It’s not that people don’t want connection.
It’s that we’ve been doing it wrong.

Great teams don’t bond by pretending to be the same.
They thrive when they unlock the divergent superpowers that each member already brings.

That quiet, analytical type who skips the karaoke night?
They might save your next presentation by catching what everyone else missed.

The taskmaster who rolls their eyes at trust falls?
They’re the one who’ll make sure everyone shows up fully prepared for the next meeting.

And the big-idea person who sometimes makes you squirm by questioning everything?
That tension is where the next breakthrough begins.

This is the core idea behind my new book, Team Players: The Five Critical Roles You Need to Build a Winning Team

It reveals how the best teams don’t chase artificial harmony—they balance five essential roles that make real collaboration possible.

If you’ve ever wondered why some teams just click while others drain your energy, this book will show you why.

When new hires fail, 89% of the time it’s because of attitude—not skills.

That truth doesn’t just apply to business… it’s playing out in college football.

When LSU hired Brian Kelly, they didn’t just hire a coach—they took a gamble on a fit. And after a $50 million buyout, it’s clear that what went wrong wasn’t play-calling. It was attitude: cultural fit, adaptability, and how a leader responds to failure and feedback.

In my latest Forbes article, I break down:
✅ Why Hiring for Attitude applies just as much to athletics as to business
✅ The specific “attitude questions” LSU (and every organization) should be asking before the next big hire
✅ How simple wording tweaks in interviews reveal red flags that skills tests never catch

Here’s the article:

Whether you’re hiring a coach, a VP, or a team lead, the lesson’s the same: You can’t fix a bad attitude with a good contract.

🎙️ New Podcast Episode: The Five Critical Roles of Every Winning Team

I just sat down with the How to Be Awesome at Your Job podcast to talk about one of my favorite topics—how the best teams really work.

We dug into findings from TEAM PLAYERS: The Five Critical Roles You Need to Build a Winning Team, including:
• Why you don’t want a team of all “team players”
• The simple trick for building faster, more decisive teams
• How to get your team to generate 3X more valuable ideas

If you’ve ever wondered why some groups click while others spin their wheels, this conversation will give you a completely new lens for thinking about team composition and effectiveness.

Thank you Pete Mockaitis for an awesome conversation!
