Collective intelligence is characterized by how well members of a group work together across a wide range of tasks. What’s the greatest predictor of collective intelligence? It is linked to the average emotional intelligence of group members, demonstration of conversational turn-taking rather than interrupting, and the proportion of females in the group.

Have you heard about employers supporting microdosing protocols for their employees as part of their benefits package? Or of leadership teams working with psychedelics during company offsites?

If not, that’s okay. But might want to understand why psychedelics will continue to insert themselves in the discussion around mental wellbeing.

Perhaps you worry that you aren’t adding enough value, or maybe you’re battling with imposter syndrome, but your monologue does not support your team’s performance. Sometimes keeping your mouth shut is the best move.

If you want to uplevel your leadership skills, then try asking more questions in meetings. Insightful questions promote valuable conversation - and make you look thoughtful, strategic, and intelligent all at once!
