Why do talented teams sometimes underperform despite having the right skills and resources? Wendy Sellers and Jamie Wasserman discuss the psychological operating system that exists beneath leadership behaviors, team interactions, and workplace culture. Learn how stress patterns impact leadership effectiveness, why feedback often falls short, and what leaders can do to help people perform at their best when it matters most.
Drawing on decades of clinical psychology and work with leaders across Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and nonprofits, Jamie Wasserman reviews how leadership operates on three interconnected layers. Jamie’s new book that is coming out soon, “The Three-Layer Leader” reveals what's missing: the psychological operating system that determines whether people can access their capabilities when it matters most. We discuss why smart teams underperform, why feedback fails, and how stress patterns affect leadership behavior. .
