Rob Cross has studied the underlying network dynamics of effective organizations and the collaborative practices of high performers for more than 20 years. Through research and writing, speaking and consulting, and courses and tools, Rob’s network insights are transforming the way people lead, work and live in a hyper-connected world.

He is the Edward A. Madden Professor of Global Leadership, Babson College and co-founder and current research director of the Connected Commons, a consortium of over 100 leading organizations accelerating network research and practice.

In his latest book, The Microstress Effect, co-authored with Karen Dillon, Rob delves into findings that show that our interactions with other people – even those we care most about – trigger an avalanche of small stresses that snowball to the point where it affects our personal well-being. This is a growing issue as companies move toward smaller teams and greater collaboration across teams.

In this episode, he shares:

  • What microstresses are and how they can impact the workplace and collaboration within teams
  • The surprising effects that microstresses have on our health, mental state, and organizations’ effectiveness
  • Why managers accidentally create microstresses by encouraging more collaboration … and what we can do about it
  • Some specific tips we can all follow to reduce the negative effects of microstresses
