Jon Levy is a behavioral scientist and New York Times bestselling author known for his work in trust, human connection, belonging, and influence. Jon specializes in applying the latest research to transform the ways companies approach marketing, sales, consumer engagement, and culture. His clients range from Fortune 500 brands, like Microsoft, Google, AB-InBev, and Samsung, to startups.
More than a decade ago, Jon founded The Influencers Dinner, a secret dining experience for industry leaders ranging from Nobel laureates, Olympians, celebrities, and executives, to artists, musicians, and even the Grammy winning voice of the bark from “Who Let the Dogs Out.” Guests cook dinner together, but can’t discuss their career or give their last name, and once seated to eat, they reveal who they are. Over time, these dinners developed into a community. With thousands of members, Influencers is the largest community of its type worldwide.
Jon’s second book, You’re Invited: The Art and Science of connection, trust and belonging, was released in 2021 to incredible fanfare quickly becoming a New York Times, WSJ and International Bestseller. It was selected by the Wall Street Journal as a "Book of the Month". In it, he demonstrates the importance of human connection, trust and community to accomplishing what is most important to us.
In his free time, Jon works on outrageous projects. Among them spending a year traveling to all 7 continents, or to the world's greatest events (Grand Prix, Art Basel, Burning Man, Running of the Bulls, etc.) and barely surviving to tell the tale. These Adventures were chronicled in his first book: The 2 AM Principle: Discover the Science of Adventure
Ever wonder why some of the most famous leaders aren’t known for the skills we’ve been told are essential for great leadership? Would you describe Elon Musk or Steve Jobs as having empathy or humility?
Of course not, and yet they’ve led teams that changed the world. So, what leadership habits and skills cause teams to become more than the sum of their parts? Why does a team made of superstars consistently underperform while others that seem to lack traditional
talent produce remarkable results and high team intelligence?
For the past fifteen years, Jon Levy has gathered thousands of the most respected leaders from across industry—Nobel laureates, Olympic team captains, astronauts who commanded the ISS, high-ranking military, and corporate CEOs—to find answers to these questions. In Team Intelligence, he unpacks the myths that hold leaders and their teams back and points out the paradox of success: focusing on creating teams that operate well is what makes a high-impact leader, but focusing purely on the leader does almost nothing for the team.
In Team Intelligence, discover cutting-edge research, surprising stories, and the essential habits that unlock collective genius.
