All the Elements, No Chemistry

You were taught to read a balance sheet. Nobody taught you to read a room.

The most important skill at work is the one no class ever covered: how teams actually function. In Episode 2, I'm sharing two articles written a year apart – "Team Dynamics: The Missing Class" and "Team Science: Connections Over Components" – that expose the same blind spot. The first names the gap. The second delivers the harder news: your team probably isn't underperforming. Your understanding of it is. Because chemistry was never about the elements alone – it's about what happens when they bond.
