This is the third in a series of episodes with world-leading product management  experts about how we might build product management best practices into team leadership. Alex Komoroske spent years as either a Product Manager or Director of Product Management for platforms that most of us use every day: Chrome, Google Maps, Google Earth, and others. He then went on to lead corporate strategy at Stripe, another platform most of us use every day.  While at Google, Alex wrote an internal how-to called “Practical PM Stuff” that many Google PMs referred to as the Product Managers Bible.  It covered everything from basics like how to answer an email to esoterica like the difference between complexity and ambiguity or how Schelling points form in organizations. In this episode, Dart and Alex discuss:- Work as an ecosystem, not a machine- Indirect influence over direct control- How frameworks can kill creativity- The role of product management in work design- How companies stifle innovation- The power of riding momentum- Managers as curators, not controllers- Balancing autonomy and structure- Why great ideas bypass leadership- And other topics...Alex Komoroske is a product leader and systems thinker who specializes in platforms and ecosystems. Alex is known for his "Gardening Platforms" approach, which encourages guiding ecosystems toward greatness instead of controlling them. Now Co-CEO of Common Tools, he continues to explore how technology and organizations evolve.Resources Mentioned:Finite and Infinite Games, by James Carse: https://www.amazon.com/Finite-Infinite-Games-James-Carse/dp/1476731713The Stacy Barton conversation about Disney storytelling and work. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/immersive-experience-design-how-to-use-story-to-design/id1612743401?i=1000599527522 The Marty Cagan conversation about product management and work   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-design-products-people-love-principles-and/id1612743401?i=1000668997003 The David Obstfeld conversation about brokering social networks and work https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/social-networks-the-1-predictor-of-economic/id1612743401?i=1000677462011 Connect with Alex:Website: https://www.komoroske.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-komoroske-6597336/Twitter: https://x.com/komoramaWork with Dart:Dart is the CEO and co-founder of the work design firm 11fold.

In dieser Folge widmen wir uns dem Film Moneyball und der zugrundeliegenden Geschichte von Billy Beane. Ihm ist es mit einer klaren Strategie und der Hilfe von Statistik gelungen, aus unterschätzten Spielern ein konkurrenzfähiges Team aufzubauen. Beanes unorthodoxer Ansatz stößt auf Widerstand innerhalb der Organisation, aber sein Engagement und seine Entschlossenheit führen letztlich zum Erfolg und verändern das unendliche Spiel des Baseballs für immer. **Zitat zur Folge** “I don't think we're asking the right question. I think the question we should be asking is… do you believe in this thing or not.” (Billy Beane im Film Moneyball) **Gedankensplitter rund ums Thema Strategie** - Billy möchte das unfaire Spiel verändern - er hat ein sinnvolles Ziel, dass er mit hohem Eigenantrieb verfolgt. - Billy schaut übergeordnet und entscheidet sich aktiv für seine strategische Nische. Seine Strategie, die ihm hilft sein Ziel zu erreichen. - Sein strategisches Ziel ist klar messbar - auf Base kommen! - Anstatt mehr vom Gleichen (effizienter und effektiver) macht er etwas anders als die anderen, um aus dem für ihn unfairen Spiel auszusteigen und seinen Vorteil zu kreieren. - Er konzentriert sich dabei nicht auf das, was alle anderen Wettbewerber tun. - Er überlegt, was im Rahmen seiner Möglichkeiten und Restriktionen machbar ist - ambitioniert und auf eigenes Risiko. - Er übernimmt Verantwortung für den Weg. Verknüpft sein Schicksal mit dem seines Weges. Klappt es nicht, ist er raus. - Er macht weiter, auch wenn es anfangs nicht gelingt und auch gegen massiven Widerstand innerhalb und außerhalb des Teams. - Er schafft dabei Tatsachen und baut die nötigen Strukturen auf bzw. um: z.B. indem er einen vermeintlich wichtigen Spieler abgibt und damit den für sein Ziel notwendige Spielaufbau erzwing - gegen den Willen des Trainers. - Er bemerkt, dass der kulturelle Connect zum Team ebenso wichtig ist, wie die Strategie selbst. **Links** - Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game (Michael Lewis): https://www.amazon.de/Moneyball-Art-Winning-Unfair-Game/dp/0393324818 - Überblick zu den Sabermetrics: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabermetrics - Finite and Infinite Games: A Vision of Life As Play and Possibility (James Carse): https://www.amazon.de/Finite-Infinite-Games-James-Carse/dp/1476731713 - Song zum Film namens “The Show” - Das Original von der australischen Sängerin Lenka: https://youtu.be/elsh3J5lJ6g - Filmszene, in der Billy Kraft tankt, während seine Tochter den Song singt: https://youtu.be/YTnIHnawJeI - Letzte Szene des Films, mit der Variante “You're just a looser dad, just enjoy the show”: https://youtu.be/pTXgt-uv3xg --- Abonniert unseren Podcast!

In this episode of World Business Forum NYC 2023 Series from Stories from the River, host Charlie Malouf welcomes Will Luke, Director of Retail Operations and Stacey McCormick, the River's Senior VP of Retail Performance, as they break down their thoughts on Simon Sinek's unique Q&A in New York City. In their conversation, they delve into Simon's ideas on the correlation between rewarding behaviors and initiatives as opposed to rewarding outputs. They examine the idea of a company hackathon to solve big problems within the company with collaboration. Additionally, they discuss how scheduled office meetings can impede spontaneous creativity, and explore the current work-from-home (WFH) culture and why a return to office (RTO) can lead to a necessary and healthy dose of human and social connection. Simon suggests that the WFH culture is causing our epidemic of loneliness and isolation. They discuss Sinek's book "The Infinite Game" and the long-term, healthy benefits of playing an infinite game in business as opposed to the short-term and limited mindset that leads to a decline of trust, culture, and morale that comes from playing a finite game.  They discuss various viewpoints presented by Sinek and whether or not they fully concur with his ideas. Additionally, they delve into some of his concepts, such as when it is appropriate to terminate someone. The conversation also covers the responsible implementation of AI technology, taking into account both its exciting possibilities and underlying concerns. In staying true to his optimistic outlook, Simon concludes his time on the stage by stating that his theme for the new year is idealism as he suggested that the possibility for world peace literaly existed within the room that day.  Additional information:  The Optimism Company - https://simonsinek.com   "A Bit of Optimism" podcast - https://simonsinek.com/podcast/   "The Millennial Question" from Simon Sinek - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vudaAYx2IcE   3 Things w/ Simon Sinek | The Purpose of Business - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQaIyTekTmU  https://www.redventures.com/blog/3-things-the-purpose-of-business   Surgeon General Advisory: The Healing Effects of Social Connection - https://www.hhs.gov/surgeongeneral/priorities/connection/index.html   The Surgeon General's Advisory on Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation (PDF) lays out a framework for a National Strategy to Advance Social Connection - https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/surgeon-general-social-connection-advisory.pdf   and one-page summary - https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/sg-social-connection-general.pdf   "Start With Why" by Simon Sinek - https://www.amazon.com/Start-Why-Simon-Sinek/dp/1591844517   "Leaders Eat Last" by Simon Sinek - https://www.amazon.com/Leaders-Eat-Last-Together-Others/dp/1591848016/   "The Infinite Game" by Simon Sinek - https://www.amazon.com/Infinite-Game-Simon-Sinek/dp/073521350X/   "Finite and Infinite Games: A Vision of Life as Play and Possibility" by James P.

His clients include the senior leadership teams of Fortune 500 companies around the world including Microsoft, Toyota, Honda, Sony, Salesforce,  KPMG,  The International Institute of Research (not to mention: financial institutions, universities, telcos, government agencies, insurers, software developers, associations, intergovernmental forums, and so on).

He lives with an illustrator-veterinarian and a cat called ‘π' in an old chocolate factory in Melbourne, Australia. When not liberating the world from the delusion of progress, He enjoys partaking in extreme sports such as reading, sun avoidance and coffee snobbery. In this episode, they explore: How teams and organisations can make meaningful progress and not suffer under the ‘delusion of progress'  What is ‘anti-fragile brooding' and how doubt is key to progress When is a good time to give audiences a good ‘intellectual spanking'? What does curiosity look like? The value of just being together as a team and allowing the ‘fireside chats' to emerge at the end of the day Why finding your own ‘Suicide Squad' is the key to fellowship and creativity As ever they throw in a few ‘Thought Experiments', this time they have: Philosophy or Foolosophy?

The exact interpretation of these doctrines is controversial, as is the inference often drawn from this theory that in the world as Heraclitus conceives it contradictory propositions must be true. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/heraclitus/   Robert Gordon Wasson (September 22, 1898 – December 23, 1986) was an American author, ethnomycologist, and Vice President for Public Relations at J.P.

We are culturally programmed to focus on the outcome – not the journey. Afterall, we are rewarded for outcomes. But this model applies poorly to health and fitness. When we focus primarily on “losing weight” or “getting fit,” we miss a huge component of creating sustainable life-long change. And that's the journey – as in the HOW and WHY we create change. My guest today states that working is winning – implying that the magic is in the work, that the small steps you take towards a big goal matter in creating any meaningful change.Before we worry about what diet is best: should we do keto or intermittent fasting, or what exercise program we should follow - we need to understand the work ahead, and to create and nurture the perseverance, patience, and intention that will allow us to move steadily on our journey. Along our journey we'll need to construct systems and frameworks that will support our future selves and set us up for success. My guest today is Kathleen Trotter. Kathleen is a fitness expert, media personality, personal trainer, writer and author, and as you'll soon hear, she is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about helping people live their best lives. She believes that we should all live our lives by design, not by default to become our best – and fittest – selves. But that's easier said than done. But not to fear – Kathleen is here to guide us on this journey. Join us as Kathleen Shares her thoughts on why working is winning, the importance of perseverance, patience, and intentions, why we need to build systems now that will support our future selves, and the criticality of mindset and self-love.Connect with Kathleen:Website - www.kathleentrotter.comFacebook - @FITbyKathleenTInstagram - @fitbykathleentYouTube - Kathleen Trotter Personal Trainer - YouTubeTwitter - @fitbykathleentWe discussed the following resources in this episode:Book - Finding Your Fit: A Compassionate Trainer's Guide to Making Fitness a Lifelong Habit by Kathleen Trotter - https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Your-Fit-Compassionate-Trainers/dp/1459735196/Book - Your Fittest Future Self: Making Choices Today for a Happier, Healthier, Fitter Future You by Kathleen Trotter - https://www.amazon.com/Your-Fittest-Future-Self-Healthier/dp/1459741285/Andrew Huberman on Impact Theory - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGa_jt3IncYReview of the book Molecule of More https://www.kathleentrotter.com/2021/09/27/dopamine-vs-dopamine-vs-the-here-and-now-chemicals-which-do-you-need-to-feed/Article on importance of little wins https://www.kathleentrotter.com/2021/10/27/merely-participating-subjective-insertion-and-the-power-of-celebrating-the-little-wins/Book – Finite and Infinite Games by James Carse – https://www.amazon.com/Finite-Infinite-Games-James-Carse/dp/1476731713/Book – Mindset – The New Psychology of Success by Dr. Carol Dweck - First Highlighted Book: Mindset by Carol Dweck - Kathleen TrotterPodcast – What's Essential - https://gregmckeown.com/podcast/Dr. K

In a one-on-one before the holidays, a coworker expressed an interest in being more influential outside of the company and wanted my advice. There’s a similar email I get semi-regularly asking whether folks looking to advance their career should start blogging, write a book, or whatnot. Although few folks meaningfully influence the industry through content creation, a vast number of folks further their careers by creating content. Create a small number of meaningful pieces, develop a distribution plan for each piece, keep doing it until a piece gets lucky with distribution, then stop; that’s all you need to do for job searches and hiring to be a bit easier. https://lethain.com//tech-influencer/ Being GlueTesting in ProductionHiring and the market for lemonsmanufacturing prestigeBeing GlueSalary Negotiationhundreds of postsabout twenty of themMigrationsA forty-year careerSizing engineering teamsProductivity in the age of hypergrowthis playing the game that they are playing

In today's episode, I speak with Eamon Armstrong. Eamon is a public speaker, writer, podcast host and former Creative Director for Fest300. His podcast, Life is a Festival, is one of my personal favorites. Eamon's interview style is something I have been taking notes on for myself since the start of theEWpodcast and I highly recommend listening to Life is a Festival if you haven't already heard of it. On his show, Eamon interviews festival leaders and deep thinkers from around the world including Jamie Wheal, Marian Goodell, Jordan Hall and many others. Eamon also hosts the Psychedelic Therapy podcast through Maya Health, where he interviews guests around the topic of, you guessed it, psychedelics and therapy. Initially, the intent of this conversation was to look at what aspects of festival culture might be amplified in society today to help us navigate this difficult moment that is 2020. It's no secret that currently in America, we have lost our sense of community and it was my intention in this conversation to gain insight from Eamon's depth of experience at festivals, places where community is key, to find out what could be done to get that sense of community back. This didn't exactly happen. As you'll hear, the majority of this conversation is spent talking about mental health. And it's a great conversation that covers both Eamon's and my own personal histories with mental health struggles, the role of psychedelics in recovery, the importance of actually doing the work and much more. About two thirds of the way into this discussion, we do manage to get the conversation back on its original tracks and all goes just fine, until it doesn't. At one point towards the end of the conversation, I attempt to make a point that I had been excited to make as I prepped to speak with Eamon. In fact, during my prep I had imagined the flow of how our discussion might go and this particular point that I attempt to bring up was supposed to be a big deal. But, it falls flat with Eamon. At this point, we were creeping up on the 90-minute mark which we had initially scheduled as our time limit. If you make it this far into the episode, you'll hear as I try to end the interview because we've reached 90 minutes in a not-so-subtle attempt to get out of what I perceived to be an awkward situation. What happens next was totally unexpected and i think actually made the podcast better, if not slightly more uncomfortable for yours truly. This podcast as a project, started as a growing experience for myself and since that has not changed, I have decided to leave the ending of this conversation mostly untouched, where you'll get to hear some of this growth happen live. I think I will just leave it at that and let you discover what happens if you decide to stick around till the end. Many thanks to Eamon for being an awesome human and bringing his A-game. As you'll hear, I have looked up to Eamon and his work for a while now and he did not disappoint.https://www.eamonarmstrong.comLife is a Festival: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-is-a-festival/id1443178401The Psychedelic Therapy Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-is-a-festival/id1443178401The Body Keeps the Score: https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/0143127748Steppenwolf: https://www.amazon.com/Steppenwolf-Novel-Hermann-Hesse/dp/0312278675/Finite and Infinite Games: https://www.amazon.com/Finite-Infinite-Games-James-Carse/dp/1476731713/Donate to Burning Man: https://donate.burningman.org

COVID-19 is bending an already-strained social structure to the breaking point. Panic and uncertainty is prompting people to retreat into mental safe zones, often behind political labels and influencer dogma. Even when it's against our own self-interest, we're resorting to more anger and personal attacks just to sooth in-group bias. The only path forward is to create space between those initial fear responses and our reactions. Listen in as Joe and Jeff Stucke, MS, LMHT, add perspective to these neuro-evolutionary forces and how we can regain balance between our individual needs and our social needs. Learn how you can leave the relationship-destroying finite-game mentality and move into the supportive infinite-game mindset. Can you be curious and angry at the same time?

What I can personally offer to support you, my dear listener, during this period of global turbulence and necessary self-isolation? Only what has been helpful to me. When you work from home, as I do, it’s important to segment your day and create ritual space for nourishing practices. Otherwise the week can feel like one long unproductive day of scrolling and task switching. Since we’re all going to be spending a lot of time at home in the coming weeks, I want to share a sacred morning ritual that I have been cultivating like a garden over the last five years. A morning ritual tailored to your personal needs is a wonderful way to pack in all the incremental changes you’d like to see over time, whether that’s in physical health, mental wellness, creativity or new hobbies. Today on the show I talk about my morning ritual and how I slowly developed it over time. This bonus episode of Life is a Festival is my first solo-cast and I hope it helps to bring balance and ease during a difficult time.

Why do our hearts long for renown and how might we meet that longing in a way that actually fertilizes a garden of rich, creative pursuits? Lately I’ve been re-examining a lingering desire for fame. I experience it in flavors of lack, or envy, or regret as if I somehow missed out on the grand adventure of celebrity. Do you sometimes feel the same? No matter my personal growth, there’s a small of me that still believes I might be happier if the whole world knew my name. This week on the podcast I pose this question to the eloquent rockstar Alex Ebert, frontman of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. What follows is a passionate love letter to earnestness. On the show, we discuss social anxiety and how the stage is the only place where Alex feels completely authentic. We talk about unmuting kink and how sex is a portal to permissiveness. We rage against the gatekeepers of cool and wax on the importance of being earnest. Finally, fame may seem to be a way to transcend death, but if every life is an epic, we are all already famous. In addition to his work with the Magnetic Zeros, Alex is the former frontman of the band Ima Robot. He also has a successful solo career including one of my favorite songs, Truth, which appears on this podcast. He won a Golden Globe for his film score for All Is Lost. He is also a political activist and a technologist, and his latest album I vs I, features the song Stronger with a splendidly avant-garde performance on The Colbert Show.

How do we parent our kids after faith deconstruction? What if only one half of a couple is going through faith changes? Can people of different faith traditions have healthy marriages? How do I relate to my family, who haven’t had the same faith changes that I have, and who now think I’m going to Hell? Is this what “unequally yoked” is actually supposed to mean? This is a long, meaty episode, where we get into as many questions like these as possible (asked almost entirely by listeners of the show) with Dr. Doug Shirley, a psychotherapist who teaches at the Seattle School of Theology & Psychology and specializes in questions like these in his own private practice. dougshirleyresearch.com Holy Longing: https://smile.amazon.com/Holy-Longing-Search-Christian-Spirituality-ebook/dp/B004DEPESM/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=holy+longing&qid=1570899882&sr=8-1 Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work: https://smile.amazon.com/Seven-Principles-Making-Marriage-Work/dp/0553447718/ref=sr_1_1?crid=9XGS9DL4PJFO&keywords=seven+principles+for+making+marriage+work&qid=1570899898&sprefix=seven+principles%2Caps%2C197&sr=8-1 Finite and Infinite Games: https://smile.amazon.com/Finite-Infinite-Games-James-Carse/dp/1476731713/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1N9D2WRINZTQJ&keywords=finite+and+infinite+games+by+james+carse&qid=1570899926&sprefix=finite+and%2Caps%2C195&sr=8-1 The Sin of Certainty: https://smile.amazon.com/Sin-Certainty-Desires-Correct-Beliefs/dp/0062272098/ref=sr_1_1?crid=SZU6J7FT9FDZ&keywords=sin+of+certainty&qid=1570899914&sprefix=sin+of+cer%2Caps%2C193&sr=8-1 Edited by Josh Gilbert (Gwall.Gilbert11@gmail.com) Join the Patreon for exclusive episodes (and more) every month: patreon.com/dankoch YHP Patron-only FB group: https://tinyurl.com/ycvbbf98 Website: youhavepermissionpod.com Join Dan's email list: dankochwords.com Artwork by http://sprungle.co/

This week Shakka & Ben talk about how the myth that there's not enough can sabotage you & how to defeat it! There's a lot of fear & scarcity thinking in the content creation world, this can lead to believing the myth that the world of a content creator is run by a "Zero Sum Game", where for you to win, someone else must loose, this is just not true. Let's discuss!

Shownotes: http://fizzleshow.com/330 SPOILER ALERT: you have to be yourself in life, because everybody else is taken! Not everybody gets to do a job they care about, however. Some of us have to endure the mediocrity of the everyday humdrum. Even if it's not torture, it is still not giving you the zeal you'd like to wake up with in the morning. Some of us get to work at Google or Oracle while the rest of us misfits are scurrying around to start our own businesses. We really want it to work so we can make our own schedules and be responsible for our own livelihoods. This independent living online thing, we've been at it for years, been talking about if for a long time and there's a lot of you involved in this – *your unique situation and point of view. * If you've been following the show for the last several weeks, we've been going through the Fizzle Roadmap, *a how-to for creating your first business and making it actually successful. * In this episode we are talking about the stage of launching your product. And launching probably is not what you think it is, so getting into this with a blank-slate perspective is advisable. One of the key things we want you to walk away with is knowing how to iterate your product, because this an absolute gem for the modern-day entrepreneur. We also talk about the role of feedback after launching, community-based initiatives and why you might feel low once the launch is over. This is an emotionally taxing stage to get through, but hopefully we can help you mitigate some of the heaviness, so tune in for this conversation to found out how!

Today I talk with Dave Gray Author of Gamestorming and his new book,     Liminal Thinking. We kick things off with a Zen story and dig into why Dave wrote this new book. We hit on a wide range of topics from the nitty gritty of facilitating group conversations to organizational change being fueled more by emotion than reason. Dave's books have always opened new pathways in my brain, so I hope you enjoy unpacking some of the lessons inside with me. One of the reasons I pulled the opening quote about drawing is that it's without a doubt the most powerful way to transform ANY conversation. Most conversations have one interface: the air. Once it's past your eardrums, I have *no* idea what's really going on inside someone's head! Drawing makes sure there's a tangible record...hell, a paper trail, of our conversation, what we've agreed to, what is in or out of the conversation. A few months ago now I helped my mom and dad work out some scenarios around selling their house and moving someplace else. Me and my brother, together with my folks, generated as many options as we could: They move, and rent out their big house, they sell it all and rent something else, they sell and buy and so on...we made a big poster for each option and then stuck up comments on each, using a format called "Rose, Thorn Bud"...which not to be too meta, is also a conversation design: We could have just done plusses and minuses, we could have done a SWOT analysis on each...but Rose Thorn Bud (which is from the boy scouts of america) is a kind of "friendly" design for conversational analysis. We used different colors for Rose Thorn Bud, a trick I learned from teaching design thinking with the LUMA institute...and after our meeting we had a visual heatmap of how the whole family felt about all the options on the table. It really helped my folks step back from the confusion of choice and get some clarity about the steps ahead. And it helped my mom realize that she and my dad haven't tried living in enough other places to make a choice about living somewhere else...and that they ought to figure that out before they sell. That, in essence, is Dave's point about drawing making a series of triangulations for a conversation. Rather than one person trying to hold all those points in mind, we used color and space to do it for us...a board for each future for my parents, and a map of each future. Another point Dave makes towards the end that I want to highlight about conversation design...when I'm designing a group workshop, the question of size and time comes up. He talks about watching people at parties, and how 3-5 people can "hold" together pretty naturally...but at 6-8 it splits, unless there's someone holding it together, someone famous, magnetic or especially entertaining. There's some math there, just like how paper increases the points of triangulation to give clarity. If 4 people generate 3-5 post-its that's about 20 stickies, and lot's of possible combinations as they try to discuss and organize them all...if you add just one more person, that's 25% increase in raw information...and increases the combination possibilities exponentially. To expect that group to process the increased information in the same period of time is just unfair! That's where a facilitator can help, by making a first action clearer (and taking some options off the table) or by giving more time, a clearer organizational framework, making the stickies all contain the same types or categories of content, or by making sure the group sizes are all consistent. On the face, conversation design for group work can seem so fuzzy, but I feel like there's a lot of quantitative thinking and actual MATH that goes on beneath it.   Dave Gray Gamestorming http://gamestorming.com   Liminal Thinking http://liminalthinking.com/   zen flesh zen bones https://www.amazon.com/Zen-Flesh-Bones-Collection-Writings/dp/0804831866   Power in organizations https://www.amazon.com/Power-Organizations-Jeffrey-Pfeffer/dp/0273016393   Finite and infinite games https://www.amazon.com/Finite-Infinite-Games-James-Carse/dp/1476731713/r   Morning pages and journaling https://www.amazon.com/Artists-Way-Spiritual-Higher-Creativity/dp/1585421464 http://juliacameronlive.com/basic-tools/morning-pages/ https://www.amazon.com/Five-Minute-Journal-Happier-Minutes/dp/0991846206   Monkeys watching monkeys http://www.apa.org/monitor/oct05/mirror.aspx   Candid Camera Video of elevator conformity http://www.openculture.com/2016/11/the-power-of-conformity-1962-episode-of-candid-camera-reveals-the-psychology-of-riding-elevators.html

I first met Leland when he was giving a talk at SVA's Design Criticism Program back in 2010 and he referenced “Finite and Infinite Games” by James Carse...I knew, right then and there, that we had to be friends!   Lee is the Chief Creative officer at Chobani, which Fast Company rated in the top 10 most innovative companies in the world. When I met him, he was one of the Founders of Collins, an agency that Forbes tapped in 2016 as an agency defining the future of brand building.   We had a wide ranging conversation where we tried to find a theory of change: can you only harness trends and follow patterns, or can you create the future? We also discuss how companies need to digest chaos and turn it into Creativity and Action through balancing volume of ideas captured, velocity of ideas turned into opportunities and maintaining a Variety of ideas in the mix. I hope you enjoy listening to Lee as much as i enjoy talking with him!   Links and Notes:   Eight Flavors, by Sarah Lohman https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/20/nyregion/sarah-lohman-four-pounds-flour.html http://www.npr.org/2016/12/15/505751272/eight-flavors-the-untold-story-of-american-cuisine   Innovation through features vs The Jobs to be Done Framework https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kjcx87JmhvM   Finite and Infinite Games https://www.amazon.com/Finite-Infinite-Games-James-Carse/dp/1476731713   IxD17 Users versus Owners (video not posted yet!) http://interaction17.ixda.org/session/chelsea-mauldin-keynote-tbd/   Sketch notes at https://twitter.com/dastillman/status/839189078352486400   Reinventing Instagram: http://www.recode.net/2017/1/23/14205686/instagram-product-launch-feature-kevin-systrom-weil     Harvard Negotiation Project and classes   http://www.pon.harvard.edu/category/research_projects/harvard-negotiation-project/   Other book mentioned:   https://www.amazon.com/Never-Split-Difference-Negotiating-Depended-ebook/dp/B014DUR7L2   On Improv:   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_(improvisation)   Rejection vs Acceptance vs. Creation https://www.amazon.com/Harold-Purple-Crayon-Books/dp/0064430227 https://www.amazon.com/Where-Wild-Things-Maurice-Sendak/dp/0060254920   On VUCA:   https://hbr.org/2014/01/what-vuca-really-means-for-you   On cherry blossoms and cradle-to-cradle-design   https://www.ted.com/talks/william_mcdonough_on_cradle_to_cradle_design     My whole life is waiting for the questions to which I have prepared answers. - TOM STOPPARD , ENGLISH DRAMATIST "
