The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni

October 21st, 2025 at 2:00pm EST

Hyperfocus can spark deep creativity—or derail priorities and teamwork. In this session, we’ll explore when hyperfocus is a strength and when it becomes a stumbling block. Through stories and discussion, we’ll examine its impact on collaboration, productivity, and burnout, while challenging assumptions: Is hyperfocus a problem to fix, or a misunderstood strength in a multitasking workplace?
