In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Sara Singer, a professor of organizational behavior (by courtesy) at Stanford Graduate School of Business and a professor at Stanford School of Medicine, sits down with host and lecturer Matt Abrahams to discuss the role of open communication in high-performing teams.
