Many new initiatives fail and lead to a downward spiral because they miss one crucial element: the right mindset. As leaders, it’s imperative to foster a culture that not only embraces innovation but also learns from setbacks. This insightful post from Stanford LEAD highlights the importance of resilience and adaptability in driving successful initiatives. Let’s keep pushing boundaries and embracing the journey of innovation together! #Leadership #Innovation #GrowthMindset #Resilience

If you're feeling discontent about the world right now let it 'radicalise' you. Think about what that word actually means. Think about what it means to be a radical when the 'buisness as usual' status quo openly supports and is actively backing g-cide. Think, question, learn, apply the scientific method. Let the evidence lead. Think critically. Think about the systems in which this is all happening. Do not stop if it becomes uncomfortable. Think about what actions you'd need to take to address the flaws of these systems. I'm just asking you to be scientists.

I've witnessed too many instances where poor communication has led to misunderstandings, or even worse, resentment. It's clear that the way we present our ideas, reasonings, and solutions must be compelling to ensure we are understood correctly. I'm thrilled to see that there's a free opportunity for all of us, including myself, to gain insights into impactful communication. Improving even by just 1% each time can lead to significant results! Don't miss out on the free preview of the Communicating with Impact course from Stanford LEAD, happening May 14-22. Register now and take the first step towards enhancing your communication skills!

A great opportunity to get a free preview of Stanford GSB's "Communicating With Impact" class focused on communicating in a clear, concise, and compelling way. Here are a few of my takeaways from the course: 💡 Show people the simplest version of your idea 💡 Memorable presentations have a singular focus (one key message), use comparisons (contrast is convincing), leverage multiple modalities reinforcing the same point (data, a story), and often include a demonstration 💡 A good apology has three elements: alacrity, acknowledgment, and amends 💡 For praise to be effective, it needs to be an explicit act clearly articulating your appreciation, meaningful to the person, and specific (describe the positive effect vs. "Great job") Please reach out if you have any questions about this class or the Stanford GSB LEAD program! #StanfordLead #StanfordGSB

Stanford LEAD was a transformational experience for me. I cannot recommend it high enough.

Russel Ackoff was a great systems thinker. You know by now I am a fan. His knowledge inspired us when creating #OrgTopologies. This lecture is interesting if you are in the field of education. The first 7 minutes is a systems thinking primer, he then switches to healthcare and in 10 minutes Ackoff tears down the educational system. The best way to learn is to teach.
