What Thomas Edison can teach you about teams
Edison was unique in thinking "team". Behind every company’s success there’s often a strong team.
What makes some teams perform far better
than others — even with the same talent? Get a look
at how you build a high-performance team.
Behind every company’s success stand high-performance teams. A close group of committed people who make each other better. When we think about productivity, we often focus on the individual — but it’s by optimising the team that a project really reaches its next level.
Wellbeing alone doesn’t make high-performance teams succeed. The engagement has to be focused, so we create results. The challenge is that we’re so busy with the daily grind that we lose the overview and get easily distracted — when the goal is open to interpretation, or when a task looks more fun than the one that matters most.
High-performance teams can set goals and reach them together. That’s why they can succeed in any market, against any competitor, at any time. How do they do it? And maybe more importantly — what can we learn from them?
An inspiring talk on how you go from talented individuals to performing as a high-performance team — with concrete tools from the best teams in the world.
Five experts don’t automatically make an expert team.
Martin showed 85 employees across 18 nationalities what it really feels like to be a team.
It became an absolutely decisive turning point for how we worked together afterwards.
As a speaker, Martin is absolutely on a par with the very best we’ve had.
An outstanding performance — the right balance of humour and seriousness delivering razor-sharp points about teamwork.
Martin’s entertaining talks are relevant for the team, the leadership and the whole organisation.
By following research into psychological safety, team development and organisational psychology — combined with over two decades of practice in everything from factory floors to boardrooms. That mix is what makes the points not just explained — but recognised.
In pressured times, the talk gives you energy and renewed hope. In good times, it puts words to what’s working — so you can hold on to it when the next pressure comes.
Martin understands both the logic of business and the dynamics of an organisation — and combines it with offbeat thinking and humour. It means the audience laughs while they think — and hopefully keeps thinking long after they’ve stopped laughing.
Martin gives talks across Denmark and abroad. The talk lasts up to an hour.
