Mathew Syed’s latest book, Rebel Ideas, brilliantly encapsulates why cognitive diversity is fundamental to team success. Mathew combines insightful research with wonderful anecdotes - ranging from Bletchley Park, to Mt Everest, nutritional science to snow clearing in Sweden - to illustrate why only collaborative thinking can unlock human potential and help us solve some of the burning problems we face today.
In this episode Samie and James discuss the above elements of the book. James expands on his central message (Cognitive diversity and constructive dissent drives team performance) and both share their own experiences and takeaways.
