The Social Brain: Author Tracy Camilleri on Belonging, Team Design & High-Performance Culture

Описание: In this Read to Lead author interview, Tracy Camilleri — co-author of The Social Brain, co-founder of Thomson Harrison and Associate Fellow at Oxford Saïd Business School — explores what neuroscience and psychology reveal about how humans are wired to connect, belong and work in groups.From Dunbar’s Number to hybrid working, Tracy shares why leadership is less about control and more about designing the conditions for teams to thrive.

In this conversation, we explore:
• Why 150 matters — and how Dunbar’s Number reshapes organisational design
• The power of small groups and “fractal” scaling in large organisations
• How belonging directly drives productivity and performance
• The Thrive Model: purpose, values, learning, connection and culture
• Why leaders must design brilliant beginnings and endings
• The real chemistry of in-person connection in a hybrid world
• How to balance intimacy, friendship and high challenge at work
• One practical shift leaders can make immediately: take half a step back

If you’re a leader, founder or coach navigating hybrid work, culture design and performance pressure, this episode offers research-backed insight you can apply straight away.
