What is the key element that sets top performing teams apart from all the rest?
Jason Treu
Jason Treu graduated with a law degree and Masters in Communications from Syracuse University and spent seven years in Silicon Valley working with transformational leaders such as Steve Jobs (Apple/Pixar), Mark Cuban, Mark Hurd (CEO/HP), Reed Hastings (CEO/Netflix), Paul Wahl (President/SAP) and many others.
He has helped clients meet top influencers such as Richard Branson, Bill Gates, Tim Cook, Peter Diamandis, and Chris Anderson. His bestselling book, Social Wealth, has sold over 50,000 copies.
A featured speaker at TEDx Wilmington for his talk, “How to Get Co-Workers To Like Each Other”, Jason has been a guest expert on 500+ podcasts, radio, and TV shows in the past year, and has helped clients generate over a billion dollars in personal wealth over the past five years.
In today’s conversation, we explore the key qualities present in every top performing team, which are noticeably absent in other teams and organizations. Why do some co-workers get along well and others don’t, and what does this have to do with overall team engagement and performance? Jason pulls back the curtain and gives us the straight truth and backs it up with statistical evidence.
We also discuss the simple solution that Jason has developed – a team building game that any organization can implement. In fact, he’s giving it away for free! (see download link below under ‘Receive Your Free Gift’). As an executive coach and team building expert, you can also hire Jason to facilitate this game in your organization. Contact details are available below.

- Improve communication without attempting to teach skills.
- We communicate and collaborate better with people we like and care about, rather than people we are neutral about or dislike.
