Why Teams Fail For Simple and Avoidable Reasons | Tessa West | TEDxCatawba
West explores the invisible forces that derail communication—even among the smartest, most well-intentioned teams. With humor and deep insight, she reveals how tiny assumptions, unsaid “obvious” facts, and quickly formed insider language can quietly sabotage collaboration. Drawing on two decades of research, West unpacks why teams miss critical information even when it’s in the room, and how our brains are wired to overlook what others don’t know. Her stories will make you laugh, cringe, and rethink your next team meeting. This talk is a powerful call to slow down, check your shared assumptions, and finally say the thing that “goes without saying.” Tessa West is a Professor of Psychology at New York University and a renowned authority on interpersonal communication.
