Catching up with Rhett Power — CEO and co-founder of Accountability, six-time founder, bestselling author, and Forbes/Rolling Stone columnist — on the leadership habits that actually move teams, why intuition beats inertia, and how “team think” can transform culture. From USAID postings in Central Asia to keynotes at SXSW, TEDx, Web Summit, and Davos, Rhett breaks down what top performers do differently and previews his new book, Head of Mentals (October 2025).

• The difference between managing and leading when stakes are high.
• What “team think” looks like in practice and how to build it.
