Do you have good AI? That's “aesthetic intelligence” — not artificial intelligence. Pauline Brown, former chairman of North America for the luxury goods company LVMH, argues that great leaders need to develop “aesthetic intelligence” to stand out among competitors. They need to understand how their products or services can “elicit true delight.” “When you look at the research, the vast majority of reasons that anyone will buy one product over another is based on how that product or service makes the person feel,” she tells IdeaCast host Alison Beard. In this episode, you'll learn from companies—like Starbucks, Airbnb, and, of course, Apple—that successfully use aesthetics to set their products apart. You'll also learn why it's important for leaders or founders—not customers—to define and maintain a company's aesthetic principles. Brown is the author of the book Aesthetic Intelligence: How to Boost It and Use It in Business and Beyond. Key episode topics include: strategy, creativity, design thinking, Starbucks, Apple, aesthetics, design, customer centricity, consumer research, competition.

今年9月1号，丹麦哥本哈根的SPACE10公司宣布解散。运营10年，团队只有23人，地地道道的“小微企业”。但它的另一个身份是宜家的“外部创新实验室”，披露过不少实验性很强、夺人眼球的创新方案，这让它在与宜家的合作期间，始终备受关注。因为种种原因，SPACE10与宜家的关系，几乎是不可复制的。这里当然有一些宜家方面的放权和特殊性，但更多的则源于SPACE10这家机构本身的灵活开放。不管在什么样的市场，这种形态的“公司”都是特别罕见的。另一方面，大公司却似乎都热衷以各种各样的方式，坚持做创新业务——尤其是科技巨头们，曾经都是非常向往星辰大海的。不过在经济下行期，这类业务往往也很容易因为入不敷出，被率先砍掉。大公司为何做创新、如何做创新，这个话题很大。本期节目从一系列案例中，简单总结了一些方法（或者说是套路）。而真正的创新力，可能不完全是由这些方法激发出来的。比如，失去了SPACE10的宜家，到底会走上什么样的创新之路，我们就很好奇。| 主播 |肖文杰、约小亚| 时间轴 |00:29 一家只有23个人的小公司解散了，有什么重要的03:28 Space10的成功可以复制吗10:18 科技巨头们还在“射月”吗19:12 吸引创新的折中方案22:43 宜家准备好“自主创新”了吗| 延伸阅读 |SPACE10的官方网站https://space10.com/resources那个为宜家“设计未来”的创新实验室关门了｜企划会议https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/yrlABra7R5QQO_ZmplRh9Q英特宜家集团的公司架构https://www.inter.ikea.com/en/this-is-inter-ikea-group/our-business-in-briefSimon Caspersen的专访https://creativecommons.org/2017/04/13/future-living-with-space10/2018年SPACE10的成员曾经来过上海http://fashion.sina.com.cn/l/fu/2018-05-11/1037/doc-ihamfahw1384653.shtmlThe age of the Silicon Valley ‘moonshot' is overhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/03/02/big-tech-moonshots-google-meta-amazon/Google X负责人Astro Teller作为嘉宾，曾经上过《哈佛商业评论》的播客节目X's Astro Teller on Managing Moonshot Innovation | HBR IdeaCast with Alison Beard (#903) • Podcast NotesInside Amazon's Grand Challenge — a secretive lab working on cancer research and other ventureshttps://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/05/amazon-grand-challenge-moonshot-lab-google-glass-creator-babak-parviz.htmlThe Secret Lab Where Nike Invented the Power-Lacing Shoe of Our Dreamshttps://www.wired.com/2016/09/nike-self-lacing-design-hyperadapt/How The $1million Netflix Prize Spurred a Radical Innovation, Accidentallyhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/haydnshaughnessy/2011/06/28/how-the-1million-netflix-prize-spurred-a-radical-innovation-accidentally/百事可乐的开放创新平台https://www.pepsico.com/our-impact/esg-topics-a-z/open-innovationThe future of personalised beauty?

Are you struggling to give and receive feedback at work? Executive coach and organizational consultant Ben Dattner says giving good feedback is really about how you deliver it. “I think what good bosses do is they let their employees know…the reason I'm giving you this feedback is to help you be more successful,” he tells Dear HBR hosts Alison Beard and Dan McGinn. “This is not adversarial. This is the two of us together trying to make something better.” Dattner takes questions from Dear HBR listeners about what to do when an employee isn't making changes based on your feedback, and how to respond when your employee offers you unexpected feedback. Key episode topics include: leadership, managing people, developing employees, giving feedback, receiving feedback, communication.

If you're leading a team, you know how hard it is to facilitate collaboration – especially when they don't know each other well or may never meet in person. When people struggle to work together, it can harm productivity, morale, and talent retention. But New York Times bestselling author Marcus Buckingham argues that you can improve your team dynamics if you understand the people you manage: how they learn, what they love, and how to bring out their strengths. “[W]hen you first join, [Lululemon] want to know all about your goals and aspirations and dreams,” Buckingham, head of research on people and performance at ADP, tells IdeaCast host Alison Beard. “So right from the get-go, they're like what's inside you?” In this episode, you'll get step-by-step advice for improving collaboration on your teams from day one. You'll also learn how you can balance your team members' unique strengths and interests with your business goals. Key episode topics include: leadership, leading teams, talent development, psychology, organizational culture, managing people, team building, team joining, onboarding, employee engagement.

Megan Rapinoe is known for her ability to perform under pressure on the soccer field. In 2019, she led the U.S. women's team to the World Cup Championship. But Rapinoe's leadership extends beyond making big goals in high-stakes games. She has embraced her role as team captain and as an advocate for causes she believes in — like gender pay equity. “I've always been a team-first kind of player. I've never been the best player, but I certainly carry a lot of weight,” she tells IdeaCast host Alison Beard. “I think that as long as I can do that in a positive way then I can have a really big impact on the team ultimately.” They also discuss how Rapinoe gradually grew into her leadership role on the U.S. women's team, why personal relationships with her teammates are important to her leadership, and what she does to keep her teammates motivated – especially after hard losses. Key episode topics include: leadership, sports, gender, diversity and inclusion, leading teams, corporate social responsibility, pay equity, advocacy, purpose, and soccer.

What role does timing play in strategic thinking — for an organization's growth, but also for you and your career? New York Times best-selling author Daniel Pink says it can play a big part in how successful your strategy will be. “I think people underestimate timing,” he tells Dear HBR hosts Alison Beard and Dan McGinn. “We're very intentional in our lives about what we do. But when it comes to when we do things, we don't take it seriously enough. We're not intentional. And it has a material effect at very many levels of peoples' work lives.” In this episode, taped live in Washington, D.C., Pink discusses what to do when your company is slow to seize a market opportunity or the right career opportunity arrives at the wrong time. Whether an opportunity is for your company, your team, or your own career, timing really is everything. Key episode topics include: career planning, decision making and problem solving, psychology, timing, merger, enterprise software, start-ups, when to quit.

In the early 1990s, publishers told science journalist Daniel Goleman not to use the word “emotion” in a business book. The popular conception was that emotions had little role in the workplace. When HBR was founded in October 1922, the practice of management focused on workers' physical productivity, not their feelings. And while over the decades psychologists studied “social intelligence” and “emotional strength,” businesses cultivated the so-called hard skills that drove the bottom line. Until 1990, when psychologists Peter Salovey and John Mayer published their landmark journal article. It proposed “emotional intelligence” as the ability to identify and manage one's own emotions as well as those of others. Daniel Goleman popularized the idea in his 1995 book, and companies came to hire for “EI” and teach it. It's now widely seen as a key ingredient in engaged teams, empathetic leadership, and inclusive organizations. However, critics question whether emotional intelligence operates can be meaningfully measured and contend that it acts as a catchall term for personality traits and values. 4 Business Ideas That Changed the World is a special series from HBR IdeaCast. Each week, an HBR editor talks to world-class scholars and experts on the most influential ideas of HBR's first 100 years, such as disruptive innovation, shareholder value, and scientific management.

Not everyone likes everything about their job all the time. But we know from research that people who are energized by at least parts of their work perform better – and feel a greater sense of well-being. So there's a huge benefit when teams and organizations encourage employees to spend more of their work day focused on their strengths and passions. In this special series from HBR, we're looking at how to figure out what you really love about work and craft your current job around that. In this episode, we're scaling up from self-help for individuals to advice for managers and explaining how they can balance these efforts with business goals. IdeaCast co-host Alison Beard speaks with Marcus Buckingham, head of research on people and performance at the ADP Research Institute and author of the new book Love + Work.

A lot of us are feeling unhappy and disengaged at work – and that started long before the pandemic. A big part of the problem, says Marcus Buckingham, is that we don't take the initiative to do more of the tasks that we truly love. After identifying what most energizes and excites you about your current role or employer, you can try a host of strategies to shape your work around those things. In this special series from HBR, we're looking at how to find love in your work. In this episode, we explain how to shift your current role to focus on what really drives you. IdeaCast co-host Alison Beard speaks with Marcus Buckingham, head of research on people and performance at the ADP Research Institute and author of the new book Love + Work.

At a time when 41% of us are considering quitting our jobs, it's time for us to understand why and what we can do about it. In this special series from HBR, we're looking at how to craft your current job around the work you really love. In this episode, we'll explain how to identify which tasks fit that bill and can lead you to a more fulfilling and successful career. IdeaCast co-host Alison Beard speaks with Marcus Buckingham, head of research on people and performance at the ADP Research Institute and author of the new book Love + Work.

There's been much talk about the Great Resignation and what's driving it. The pandemic has exacerbated a long-term problem: many of us struggle to find any pleasure in our work. But quitting isn't the only the solution. Often, it's not feasible. In this special series from HBR, we look at a different path: figuring out what you really love and crafting your current role around that. In this episode, we dig into the data showing why people feel so disengaged and what they feel is missing from their work. IdeaCast co-host Alison Beard speaks with Marcus Buckingham, head of research on people and performance at the ADP Research Institute and author of the new book Love + Work.

Tsedale Melaku, sociologist at The Graduate Center, City University of New York, and David Smith, professor at the U.S. Naval War College, have been looking at the ways people with the most power in society and organizations can become better allies to those who have less authority and influence. In the United States, that typically means white men helping their female co-workers or colleagues of color to advance. In an era when the push for gender and racial equity is gaining momentum, Melaku and Smith join host Alison Beard in a live taping that includes audience questions about the right ways to call out microaggressions, hold senior management to account, and use majority group privilege to help those in the minority. Melaku and Smith are the coauthors, along with Angie Beeman and Brad Johnson, of the HBR article "Be a Better Ally."
