Welcome to the Radical Sabbatical podcast. I'm Kim Scott, and while the rest of the radical team, uh, radical canner team is on sabbatical, I am using my sabbatical to read great books and talk to the authors. And so I'm thrilled to say that with us today is Daniel Coyle, who is uh known probably to all of you as the author of The Culture Code and who has written a wonderful book that that really meant a lot to me flourishing. Not that the Culture Code didn't mean a lot, it did, but I especially love your new book.

So welcome Daniel. Thanks, Kev. It's so fun to be here with you. I gotta say I'm a huge fan of your work and what you do and how you do it. Huge fan of your work and so I feel very lucky to be spending some time with you today.

Thank you. Me too. One of the things that is so interesting about your book, for me at least, is that it totally def redefines the role that leaders play in creating teams that flourish, or societies actually, that flourish. It seems like you your book in many ways is um is uh an explanation of why neither command and control or charismatic leadership work and and why Founder mode is just a disaster.
