A performance psychologist reveals why experienced teams stop improving and what helps them adapt.
Capable teams don’t stall because people stop caring or trying.

This is the kind of thinking that helps teams swear by each other, not about each other, because it shifts the focus from fixing people to designing the environment they work in.
