Podcast appearances and mentions of David K Williams

Hur kan ni vända rädsla till mod? I detta avsnitt av Transformationspodden pratar Johan med kollegan Rich Nadworny om ett av de största hindren för att ni ska lyckas med innovation: Rädslor. Trots att detta hinder är välkänt, har vi svårt att lyfta upp rädslor på arbetsplatsen. För att lyckas med innovation måste ni navigera i osäkerhet och då är rädslor omöjligt att undvika. Johan och Rich pratar om hur ni kan bygga mod på arbetsplatsen genom att lyfta rädslorna tidigt i processen, bygga saker tillsammans samt akta er för experter.

This episode explores emotion and the workplace, in particular, the value of emotion for leaders. My conclusion: we should encourage more emotion at work, and accept it equally regardless of the identity of the person expressing it. Do you agree? Let me know at unravelingpink@gmail.com.

In 2004, David Williams was asked to help close down a startup that had amassed $2.5 million in debt and still had no product to offer. When David arrived on the scene, what he saw was “the opportunity of a lifetime.” On this episode, we explore the power of Social Capital and how 6 employees and 1 strategic partnership helped David  transform Fishbowl into the leading inventory management solution. Sure, his approach might have “broken a few rules” but the results will compel you to reconsider the way you lead your organization. “No individual has sufficient experience, education, native ability and knowledge to ensure the accumulation of a great fortune, without the cooperation of other people.”  - Napoleon Hill   Talking Points Searching a troubled startup for signs of life. Why Social Capital should be given the highest priority. How to manage relationships with strategic alliances and channel partners. Why a startup needs a 100 year plan (even if you plan on selling in less than 5 years). How to build a culture of loyal employees. Should equity be given to employees as stock options? How to manage underperforming employees in a startup? Leadership and the simple skills that lead to big profits Meet David Williams Since 2004, David K.
