What makes an effective team? Talent? Skill? Discipline?In this episode of Choiceology with <a href="http://www.katherinemilkman.com/">Katy Milkman</a>, we're looking at some of the more surprising ingredients of successful teams, according to science. Teams where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.You'll hear the story of the Kon-Tiki expedition—a harrowing journey across the Pacific Ocean led by Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl. A journey made by a small band of adventurers who set out to understand ancient human migration. They were young. Most were inexperienced. But they had enthusiasm, a range of talents and personalities, camaraderie, and a clear and vivid goal. You'll hear from Liv Hukset Wang from the <a href="https://www.kon-tiki.no/">Kon-Tiki Museum</a> in Oslo, who works with Heyerdahl's grandchildren to keep his legacy alive.Then, Katy speaks with University College London professor <a href="https://www.mgmt.ucl.ac.uk/people/colinfisher">Colin Fisher</a> about his new book on team synergy. You'll hear his recipe for building teams that excel and his tips for avoiding the pitfalls of social loafing.<a href="https://www.schwab.com/learn/choiceology">Choiceology</a> is an original podcast from Charles Schwab.
