In this segment from The Individualism Trap: How Modern Life Is Making Us Miserable (And What Groups Can Do About It), we explore the invisible power of group norms with Dr. Colin Fisher, author of "The Collective Edge."
Colin reveals why the unspoken rules that form in your first group meeting become nearly impossible to change, and Ben shares his personal experience of how these "sticky norms" held him back in school and shaped his professional career.
You'll discover why where you sit, how much you participate, and even whether you ask questions gets locked in from day one—and most importantly, how to be intentional about setting positive norms whether you're leading a team or just joining one.
