Teamwork - A Better Way

Why do highly capable people become inconsistent under pressure — even when they are talented, experienced, and motivated?

Ricardo J. Vargas has spent three decades and peer-reviewed research answering that question. In this conversation, he unpacks the relationship between happiness, flow, and adaptive performance — and why the strategies leaders rely on in stable conditions often collapse when things get hard. If you lead people through uncertainty, change, or high-stakes decisions, this episode reframes what it actually takes to perform when conditions stop cooperating. This is not a conversation about motivation. It is a conversation about the human capacity to perform when conditions deteriorate.
