Every organisation is clogged with destructive friction – from convoluted meetings to antiquated technologies – that chips away at “our initiative, commitment and zest for work”. 
That's the contention at the centre of a new book from Stanford professors Bob Sutton and Huggy Rao, which aims to teach people how to "live like a friction fixer".
This week on Leadership Lessons, Sutton shares some of the tips and tricks he and Rao learnt over the course of seven years spent researching the book. 
Plus, you might not know them by these names but they'll probably be familiar: this episode also features discussion of jargon monoxide, power poisoning and decision amnesia.

Cybercrime is not an issue that is likely to disappear any time soon.
During the course of 2023, according to Statista, the number of cyber incidents reported by UK businesses rose by more than a third. In 2022, 28% of businesses said they identified one breach or attack in the previous 12 months, compared to 21%.
Indeed, the UK is the economy most at risk of cyber attack, according to one recent survey.
But never fear! In this week's episode Richard Brinson, CEO of cybersecurity consultancy Savanti, has identified five common mistakes leaders make when it comes to tackling cyber crime, as well as some possible solutions.

Do you want to create a successful team? Then you should start a workplace choir, share a spicy group meal before a difficult meeting and take up pickleball. 
These are some of the tricks proposed by the guests on this episode of Management Today's Leadership Lessons.  
Robin Dunbar, University of Oxford’s emeritus professor of evolutionary psychology, and the co-founders of leadership development consultancy Thompson Harrison Tracey Camilleri and Samantha Rockey have written a book called The Social Brain, which delves into the psychology of successful groups. 
In this episode, Dunbar explains his high-profile research on the impact of group size on human brains. His famous ‘Dunbar’s Number’ theory argues that humans can only manage a maximum of 150 relationships. He has also identified a series of smaller layers in social networks that will make you look at team dynamics differently.   
Rockey, who was the global head of leadership development at FTSE 100 company SABMiller (now AB InBev), translates his research into a business context, with clear implications for leaders.
