In today\\u2019s episode, I chat with Dr. Heidi Gardner, a Boston, MA-based Distinguished Fellow at Harvard Law School and Faculty Chair of the school\\u2019s Accelerated Leadership Program, Smart Collaboration Masterclass and other programs. Previously, she was a professor at Harvard Business School and continues to teach executive education there and at other Harvard graduate schools.\\xa0

She is co-founder of the research and advisory firm Gardner & Co., a recognized thought leader in \\u201cSmart Collaboration,\\u201d and highly acclaimed keynote speaker. Gardner & Co.'s ground-breaking psychometric tool, the Smart Collaboration Accelerator, developed after a decade of primary research, has been adapted by leaders worldwide as a practical tool for embedding a collaborative culture.\\xa0

Together we discussed the business case for smarter collaboration. We really dug into how embracing smart collaboration helps companies increase revenues and profits, boost innovation, and recruit, engage, and retain great employees. We chat about how collaboration shifts in a crisis and why smarter collaboration should be at the top of every senior leader\\u2019s agenda before disaster strikes. And we close with a discussion on collaboration in hybrid work environments.\\xa0

It was such a pleasure reconnecting with Dr. Gardner. And I hope you enjoy it.\\xa0
