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.

Was sind ikonographische Wahrheiten in unserem Arbeitsumfeld? Die Filiale und Zentrale einer Bank gehören ganz sicherlich dazu. Die Sparda Bank Berlin hat genau mit diesem Paradigma aufgeräumt und sich ihrer Zentrale entledigt. Die Entscheidung hat in der Öffentlichkeit für reichlich Furore gesorgt. Im Gespräch mit Frank Kohler spüren wir der Entscheidungsfindung nach und gehen den Motiven, das Unternehmen dergestalt umzubauen, genau auf den Grund.Frank Kohler lässt uns ein Stück in die Unternehmenskultur seiner Bank eintauchen. Dabei kommen wir an Missverständnissen und Widerständen vorbei, die ihm in den ersten Wogen der Verkündung entgegengebracht wurden. Wir sprechen auch darüber, inwiefern die Mitarbeitenden die Rolle des Gastgebenden übernehmen werden. Hört rein in dieses Gespräch mit einem tiefgründigen und sehr nahbaren Menschen, der seine Visionen auch gegen Widerstände verfolgt. Interview: Jule Jankowski Frank Kohlers Literaturtipp: James Carse: "Finite and Infinite Games: A Vision of Life As Play and Possibility" 2013. In unserem GOOD WORK Salon versammeln sich spannende Zeitgenossen: Echte Vordenker:innen, Paradiesvögel ebenso wie fleissige Arbeitsbienchen, Leute aus der Mitte und aus den Nischen unserer Arbeitswelt - kurz: ein bunter Reigen an Menschen, die mit uns ihre klugen Gedanken und gelebten GOOD WORK Geschichten teilen wollen. Die Salongespräche laden ein zu einer wahrhaftigen Begegnung mit diesen Menschen. Im gleichermaßen tiefgründigen wie leichtfüßigen Dialog mit ihnen werden wir uns ausgewählten Phänomenen der Transformation widmen. Dabei wird neben all den inhaltlich wesentlichen Aspekten Platz sein für die menschliche Perspektive. Wir rücken ein Stückchen näher heran an unsere Gäste und laden Sie ein, etwas aus ihrem persönlichen Leben mit uns zu teilen. Der Kontext ist und bleibt die Transformation unserer Arbeitswelt auf ihren unterschiedlichen Bühnen. Unsere fünf GOOD WORK Prinzipien bleiben weiterhin als Struktur im Hintergrund bestehen. Wir sprechen künftig auch immer über gelungene Beziehungsgestaltung, flexible Strukturen, digitale Balance, gelebte Agilität und das Denken in Möglichkeiten. Die Zeit zu lernen ist: JETZT!

Connection. Me and Reddy dive deep into connection in this our fourth conversation. (Again. Seems we come around to this central theme every conversation, even though it might take on slightly different shapes and colors.) Why, why is it so hard to imagine that everything is connected? Everyone is connected, all thoughts, all ideas, all emotions, all our feelings. Everything's connected. And I actually have to remind myself that I'm connected. ~ Reddy Have you ever felt disconnected? Separate, alienated, all alone. Yeah. The number of human beings who hasn't felt that has to be low. But I'd venture a guess, that can never be anything but a guess, that the more we culturally have separated ourselves from Nature, the more disconnected, separate, alienated and alone we feel. I don't even need to make the connections. Connections are there, they're being made. I just need to let them flow effortlessly. ~ Reddy When we believe the only people around are humans, already then, we've severely minimized the possibility of connection that is always and already there. And cognition seems to be a possible culprit here. I can talk myself out of needs I have, however real, physical and valid they are. Fear-driven rather than willing to explore and expand, I make myself small and unimportant, when, really, I am not. And neither are you. We matter, our needs matter, and sometimes I wish we could be more like cats or little kids. Cats do Cat, you know? Pop the cat doesn't worry about what I might think of him when he desperately needs to get outside even though I am in the middle of a pod-recording. Little kids do Human, in the same way. Not yet entangled in norms and expectations, the culture of the family, the neighbourhood, the country, and the domesticated behaviours deemed good and worthy. What would happen if more of us flowed with the wave of our personal energy, be it domestication or animalistic? Scary thought? Well. Perhaps. But maybe you can explore it in a way that isn't scary, but rather expanding? This, and many other threads of tankespjärn are definitely to be had if you press Play, diving deep into connection with me and Reddy.

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?

Much of our world appears to be stuck in antiquated thinking based on scientific materialism and fundamentalist approaches to religionLooking through the lens of quantum physics, however, allows us to look at the world in more healthy, healing and holistic ways… but how do we get there?Paul has discussed quantum physics a great deal on his Living 4D podcast, most recently in his series on the Pain Teacher.This week, Paul talks to world-renowned theoretic quantum physicist, Dr. Amit Goswami, a former professor of physics at the University of Oregon, and Dr. Valentina Onisor about quantum physics and how it can restore morality and healing back to science, in this very special Living 4D episode.Learn more about Amit’s work as a theoretical quantum physicist at amitgoswami.org as well as his Quantum Activism Vishwalayam program in India with Valentina.

(11:08)Before his involvement with quantum physics, Amit was a staunch materialist. (17:58)How Valentina found her way to medicine, better ways of healing and, eventually, working with Amit. (21:16)How do we get morality back into science? (26:00)Allowing consciousness to thrive within science — as quantum physics compels us to do — opens up new avenues for healing people. (31:42)Consciousness is much more than just our brain. (38:18)The consciousness of plants. (45:49)How scientific materialism is hurting our planet. (49:48)A definition of intuition. (53:08)Archetypes: Fundamental elements of consciousness. (56:26)The importance of myth for our growth, development and survival. (1:01:45)“Any archetype is a journey toward finding its real nature.” (1:06:56)The mental health paradigm is a negative one that needs to change.

Some of the best teachers you’ll ever have are the ones who won’t answer your questions right away or at all. The great ones will put the onus back on you to fill in the blanks for yourself.This week’s Living 4D conversation is a special meeting of wise teachers, as Paul discusses games, GOD and myth with James Carse, Professor Emeritus of history and religion and former Director of Religious Studies at New York University.Learn more about James, his career and the books he’s written, including the amazing Finite and Infinite Games: A Vision of Life as Play and Possibility, on his website.Show NotesFor most people, belief is where their thinking stops, unless they possess a deep spiritual curiosity. (8:35)James’ primary challenges as a teacher: Showing his students how ignorant they were about the world while enlarging their sense of mystery. (11:17)The counterintuitive nature of playing games. (23:48)Words have no meaning until/unless you respond to them. (29:42)Deep, difficult intellectual work and everyday physical labor are different forms of play.

(59:31)At the center of religion may be an infinite game. (1:03:06)Are finite games essential tools for the development of consciousness, awareness and knowledge? (1:11:58)The differences between political and politics. (1:23:22)“To be the genius of all that we do means to be ultimately responsible for everything we do, by choice.” (1:27:34)James’ definition of the soul. (1:36:06)Why are boundaries so important in a game? (1:40:45)Freud was a bad scientist, but a better mythologist who told stories that made us look at our lives very differently. (1:53:22)“A true myth is, not only, a story that will lead to an infinite number of other stories. It’s a story that creates storytellers as well as explanations.” (1:56:46)“It’s one thing to tell a story that will silence you. It’s another thing to present a silence that will cause you to tell a story.” (2:05:44)ResourcesThe Religious Case Against Belief and Breakfast at the Victory: The Mysticism of Ordinary Experience by James CarseThe work of Luke Timothy Johnson and Ludwig WittgensteinTractatus Logico-Philosophicus and The Blue and Brown Books by Ludwig WittgensteinThe Field: The Quest For The Secret Force in the Universe by Lynne McTaggartMetaphysical Bible Dictionary by Charles FillmoreSwamplands of the Soul: New Life in Dismal Places by Dr. James Hollis

In his essay "On the Uses and Disadvantages of History for Life," Nietzsche attacks the notion that humans are totally determined by the historical forces that shape their physical and mental environment. Where other philosophers like Plato saw virtue in remembering eternal truths that earthly existence had wiped from our memories, Nietzsche extolled the virtues of forgetting, of becoming "untimely" and creating a zone where something new could arise. For Nietzsche, history was useful only if it served Life. Because we live in an age which constantly reifies history (through movies, news, social media, etc.) while also tricking us into thinking we somehow exist outside of history, the essay remains as relevant today as it was when Nietzsche wrote it a century and a half ago.

Thirty-five years ago, James Carse wrote a book called 'Finite and Infinite Games: A Vision of Life as Play and Possibility’. Over three decades later, it remains popular. In this podcast we explore what the ideas expressed in the book could mean when applied in a political space. A finite game is played to be won and an infinite game is played for the purpose of continuing play. In this episode, Mark calls James Carse to explore questions about how the ideas in his book apply to politics and public life. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
