Which is the winner in a comparison of foreground vs. background conversations? On today's episode, Bix and Joe Bickson join us for another conversation tackling a tenet of future hacking. They talk about how the power dynamics in the company not only affect performance but also derail communication lines. “The first practice we're asking executive teams to have is to say the background conversations in the meeting.” - Joe Bickson Three Things We Learned Power dynamics still prevail in organizations People are often trained to think that the more senior members of organizations have more authority and power. This prevents the kind of uninhibited conversations to create new opportunities for growth from happening. These old constructs, relics of the system birthed from the industrial revolution still lingers even at present day. Why power dynamics deter growth Because of this authoritarian system adopted from eons past, people in power oftentimes end up drinking their own bathwater. Their subordinates tell them how great and inspiring they are. Positive feedback is feedback that gets bent out of shape and it's in no way of use to future hacking. Background conversations matter Most executive meetings feel suppressed. People are concerned about not only the subject matter to be discussed, but also the manner by which they discuss items in an attempt to maintain professionalism. But as soon as people leave these meetings, background conversations happen, and these are the type that should actually be encouraged in organizational circles. When people talk about wanting to hack the future, they want to achieve something meaningful to step up in their life and business. But the delta between where they are and where they want to be, as well as with who they are and who they want to be sometimes gets in the way. To traverse this delta, people in chairs must come to love the gap and address the difficulty of power dynamics in organizations.

Bix and Joe Bickson return for this series tackling different topics, including future hacking. Today, they share how imposter syndrome manifests and why people need to be ruthlessly compassionate. “Every CEO, every executive, every person we've sat in a room with over time has revealed that they also have great doubts.” - Bix Bickson on imposter syndrome Three Things We Learned Everyone is suffering from the imposter syndrome This is apparent in the way we present ourselves in the world. Particularly, people who are more senior in an organization feel the need to have it together. They need to look good, be the smartest, the sharpest and most intelligent, but the truth is everyone has their own self-doubts, concerns and worries. Podcasts help reveal the truth If there's anything that podcasts have been a huge help at, it's in revealing the truth that all the people we revere have to deal with the same set of challenges regular people do. It doesn't matter whether they are a musician, an actor or an executive. Through podcasts, we get to listen to their lives and come to a realization that they are no different from the rest of us. Manifestation of the imposter syndrome People walk into an executive meeting bearing all the years of experience, knowledge and expertise that placed them in a position to be heard. But the value that a person is able to create is completely correlated with the willingness of people to listen. Without this engagement, whatever you work for won't make any difference. Self-doubt is more than feeling incompetent in areas outside of one's expertise despite having the mastery of one's specialization. Oftentimes, external stimuli like the engagement of your audience can play a role. Juxtaposed, these various factors swizzle about and create this crippling self-doubt regardless of having proven oneself time and again.

What is future hacking and how does it affect individual and organizational performance? On today's episode of Legends and Losers, Bix and Joe Bickson elucidate this term that has allowed them to create ways to help people break out of themselves and the organizations that they're a part of. “What we call a future hack is to get inside your guts or the guts of your organization, and develop the ability to create and fulfill the future of your choosing.” - Joe Bickson Three Things We Learned Future hacking in a nutshell We define a hack as an effort to get inside and get a piece of digital gear with the intention of using it for a different purpose. Joe says that future hacking is the process and idea of creating ways to help people break out of acting on someone else's thinking. It's ultimately a unique design and body of knowledge for individuals and organizations to perform in extraordinary ways. The case for most executives In the traditional corporate sphere, executives get paid to produce the intended future. CEOs report to a board and work so that plans agreed upon on happen. They work, produce and align different factors to achieve a set of outcomes in the future, entirely different from the concept of hacking a future. Setting a goal versus future hacking People don't get paid for something that's already going to happen. Performance often remains encased in a paltry definition of achieving a goal. Future hacking enables people to gain access and get their hands on the dials and controls of performance. The status quo of measuring performance against a set of outcomes to achieve in the future isn't worth preserving. To create a future, we need to gain access of tools to be more hands-on when it comes to performance. Bix and Joe Bickson work with people to help them get ahold and hack their own futures.
