The leaders at Portland General Electric knew they had a choice: Embrace innovative ideas…or get left behind. They chose the former—and now, PGE is charting a new path for scaled utilities to embrace technology, welcome innovation, and ask hard questions to ensure their customers get energy that's reliable, efficient, and clean, day in and day out. Today on Piloting the Future, hosts Kim Getgen and Lee Krevat get the full rundown on PGE's recent Innovation Impact Report from Larry Bekkedahl, Senior VP of Advanced Energy Delivery at PGE, and Allegra Hodges, Head of Strategic Innovation at PGE. Larry and Allegra explain PGE's efforts to build a stronger grid, how strong process can empower innovation, the best strategies for finding consensus in a crowded tech ecosystem…and, of course, where AI fits into all this. PGE completed the first long-distance transmission of electricity in the US in 1889—and they haven't stopped innovating since. Give this episode a listen to understand how embracing the future became part of a major utility's culture. Want to check out PGE's Innovation Impact Report?

In December 2020, Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian and his leadership team were deciding whether or not to commit to recruiting, hiring, training, and advancing one million Black Americans into stable, well-paid jobs over the next decade, as part of the OneTen coalition. But if Delta joined, Bastian faced a key challenge: how could he make the airline truly inclusive and create systemically equal access to career opportunities? In this episode, Harvard Business School professor Linda Hill explains how Bastian shifted Delta's talent architecture to prioritize skills over four-year degrees and how he created new apprenticeship programs to recruit entry-level employees. Hill studied Bastian's efforts to transform Delta for a case study. She also explains why Bastian prioritized front-line employees for internal promotions, instead of recruiting new talent externally. Key episode topics include: leadership, hiring and recruitment, diversity and inclusion, corporate social responsibility, airline industry, talent, recruiting, career.

Hill House Manor is deceptively ordinary from the outside. Built in the mid-1850s, its walls have held many identities—a private residence, a bordello, a speakeasy, and apartments—but its most enduring role is far more sinister: a paranormal hotspot. When Linda Hill acquired the manor in 2004, she was met with a troubling trend of tenants abruptly breaking their leases. Determined to uncover the truth, Linda opened the doors to paranormal investigators, revealing a tapestry of haunted histories and restless spirits that linger within its walls. From the chilling legend of the “Murder Room” to countless documented encounters, eerie tales of shadowy figures, and unsettling whispers that continue to haunt the house. What dark secrets lie beneath its floors? And who are the spirits that refuse to leave? On this episode of The Grave Talks, we peel back the layers of history and hauntings that make Hill House Manor one of Texas' most infamous paranormal locations with owner, Linda Hill.

So you want to lead your team toward innovation. Does that require that you know where you're going? Not according to Linda Hill.Hill is a professor of business administration at Harvard Business School whose research focuses on leadership and how organizations achieve innovation. When it comes to generating breakthrough ideas, Hill says it's less about a creative vision and more about stepping into the unknown. “Innovation [is] not about an individual coming up with a new idea,” she says. “Instead, innovation is the result of the collaboration of people with diverse expertise and diverse perspectives coming together, being able to collaborate, being able to experiment together and learn.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Hill and host Matt Abrahams discuss how leaders can foster cultures and environments where innovation thrives — where teams use communication and collaboration to “co-create the future.”Episode Reference Links:Harvard Business School Profile: Website Linda's books: Collective Genius: The Art and Practice of Leading Innovation Being the Boss, with a New Preface: The 3 Imperatives for Becoming a Great Leader Becoming a Manager: How New Managers Master the Challenges of Leadership Linda's article on the value of collaboration & conflict: Collective Genius Communicator Linda admires: Vineet Nayar + Employees First, Customers Second Connect:Email Questions & Feedback >>> thinkfast@stanford.eduEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn Page, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInStanford GSB >>> LinkedIn & TwitterChapters:(00:00:00) IntroductionHost Matt Abrahams introduces guest Linda Hill, an expert in leadership development and innovation from Harvard Business School.(00:01:10) Leading for Innovation vs. Leading for ChangeFundamental differences between leading for innovation and for change, and the unique challenges required for innovation.(00:02:53) Creating a Culture of InnovationThe essential components of a culture that promotes innovation, with focus on communication and collaboration.(00:06:21) The Role of Shared Values and Purpose in InnovationShared values, and the distinction between vision and purpose within innovative organizations.(00:09:43) Communication's Impact on InnovationHow effective communication facilitates innovation, including strategies for engaging diverse teams and the significance of storytelling.(00:14:30) Conflict and Creativity in Collaborative EnvironmentsThe value of conflict in innovation, and how managing disagreements and diverse viewpoints can lead to more creative solutions.(00:16:06) The Final Three QuestionsLinda Hill shares practices to foster collaboration with others, a communicator she admires, and her ingredients for successful communication.(00:19:54) ConclusionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova.    This week I want to revisit an insightful conversation about invitation with Dr. Linda Hill.    Dr. Linda Hill is the Wallace Brett Dohm Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School and the chair of the Leadership Initiative. She is regarded as one of the top experts on leadership and is the co-author of Collective Genius: The Art and Practice of Leading Innovation and Being the Boss. Dr. Hill is also the co-founder of Paradox Strategies and the co-creator of the Innovation Quotient. She was named by Thinkers50 as one of the top 10 management thinkers in the world in 2013 and received the Thinkers50 Innovation Award in 2015.  Her TED Talk, How to Manage Our Collective Creativity, has gotten more than 2 million views.      THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… leaders and aspiring innovators.    TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… there is a misconception about leadership and leading innovation.  Leadership is communicating a vision and inspiring others to fulfill that vision.  Leading innovation is about creating an environment for people to be willing to go down that innovation path with you. The innovation path is paved with a greater purpose to do the hard, emotional, and intellectual work of innovating.       According to Dr. Hill, here are the 3 things we know about innovation:    1. Innovations are not the result of individuals having ‘aha' moments but are a result of a diverse collaboration of people.   2. You cannot plan an innovation; it's a messy process of discovery riddled with error.  3.  Innovations are a combination of ideas.    If you want to lead and inspire innovation, you must have a culture where people are willing to get their hands dirty but also feel like they are part of the process.    WHAT I LOVE MOST… this episode is a crash course in how to be a leader and lead change when you are trying to drive innovation.  Yes, leading change is different from leading innovation - it's about creating an environment to let people co-create with you. Simply, let yourself breathe and give yourself and your team time to try things. Finally, I love Dr. Hill's idea that innovation is a voluntary act…a bottom-up journey and not the other way around.      Running time: 38:42   Subscribe on iTunes    Find Tiffani Online: Facebook  Twitter  LinkedIn    Find Linda Online: TED Talk  Bio

If you're leading innovation, you need very specific leadership skills. Harvard Business School professor Linda Hill has studied leadership and innovation for decades and is the coauthor of Collective Genius: The Art and Practice of Leading Innovation. She says that leaders who shepherd innovation can't rely on formal authority. Instead, they need to understand how to get people to co-create with them, which requires mastering three key roles —architect, bridger, and catalyst—or the ABCs of innovation. In this episode, you'll learn how to fill each of these roles—from how to assemble the right team to how to build real connections and mutual commitment. As Hill says, “You cannot tell people to innovate. You can only invite them.” Key episode topics include: leadership, innovation, power, commitment, talent management, resources, teams, collaboration.

One of the most important aspects of leadership is having a vision for what you want to achieve. It's the vision for a project that will guide your team and inspire them to perform at the top of their game. But how does that change when you need to lead innovation? And how do you navigate the unknowns inherent to pursuing true innovation? Joining us today to unpack this topic and explore key questions of innovation and leadership is Professor Linda Hill from Harvard Business. Professor Hill is the co-founder of Paradox Strategies, the co-author of the acclaimed book Collective Genius: The Art and Practice of Leading Innovation, and is regarded as one of the top experts on leadership.

Professor Hill also sheds light on her personal practices as a researcher and practitioner of innovation, her process for selecting her co-authors, and why she places such a high value on having a novice perspective.

This week, I invite you to feast your senses on a captivating dialogue with Kristin Bryan, Director of Culinary Innovation at HelloFresh. Kristin takes us on a culinary journey that marries taste and technology, enriching our palates and minds. For those intrigued by how the complexity of flavors in your HelloFresh meal kit is conceived, Kristin introduces the riveting concept of "Creative Abrasion." Coined by Linda Hill, this approach isn't about conflicts but about generating a kind of friction that sparks groundbreaking innovation. It fosters an open dialogue within the team—making it the spice that elevates every dish and concept HelloFresh develops. Kristin highlights the underestimated yet essential ingredient in their innovation journey—psychological safety. In an industry where pleasing the customer is the ultimate goal, one wonders how a team of culinary experts decides what 'pleasing' means. Kristin offers that creating a psychologically safe environment is the cornerstone of this process, enabling team members to bring their unfiltered opinions to the tasting table. Adding another layer to this rich conversation is the debate on convenience versus authenticity. With busy lives and an increasing demand for quick meal solutions, HelloFresh experiments with convenient sauce packages. Kristin ponders how far they can go in delivering convenience without compromising the quality of the dining experience.  But innovation at HelloFresh doesn't stop at dinner. Addressing the often-overlooked domain of school lunches, Kristin reveals how meticulous research and customer feedback fuel their drive to simplify yet enrich the midday meal for children. The challenge lies in delivering familiar yet balanced meals, which calls for an intricate dance between fun and nutritional integrity. During this conversation Kristin uncovers her roots in innovation through her experience at tech startups and Walt Disney World. She attests to the transformative influence of her mentors at Disney, encouraging her to view food not as mere sustenance but as a holistic sensory experience—an adventure if you will. So, please tune in for an episode that promises to be as stimulating to your intellect as it is to your taste buds. You will come away with a fresh perspective on what it takes to innovate in the culinary world, from conceptualizing a dish to the logistical gymnastics of putting it on your table. After listening, you'll never see your HelloFresh—or any other meal kit—the same way again.  

Ed Catmull is an enigma. There's a good chance you wouldn't recognize him if he were standing right next to you. Yet, he's the creative genius and co-founder of Pixar - a totally unique organization that has completely changed the way many of us think about movies, culture, and even what it means to be a human being. Catmull usually avoids the spotlight. In reality, he would rather work - behind the scenes - to build a fertile culture in which others can grow and succeed. In which others can reach their full creative potential. And, in which others can satisfy basic - if not contradictory human needs - like expressing individual ideas while simultaneously collaborating with others to build it into something much more profound. Who could ever forget these iconic Pixar characters?: Tom Hanks in Toy Story Ellen DeGeneres and Albert Brooks in Finding Nemo Samuel L. Jackson in The Incredibles Julia Louis-Dreyfus in a Bug's Life Should we take the time to listen to Catmull's advice? Well, many others have over the past few decades, including visionaries like Steve Jobs and George Lucas; creative geniuses like Brad Bird and Pete Docter; business icons like Bob Iger; and even top thought leaders (and former guests on our podcast), Professors Amy Edmondson, Linda Hill, and Roger Martin.

           In S 3 E 11 I am delighted to welcome Associate Professor Rhea Liang to the podcast.  Rhea  is a general and breast surgeon, surgical educator, and diversity advocate. She is Surgical Discipline Lead and Clinical Sub-Dean at Bond University, and  notably she is the immediate past Chair of the RACS Operate With Respect education committee.      A third of medical trainees report that they have experienced or witnessed workplace bullying or harassment, including racism in 2021 according to the AHPRA annual Medical Training Survey.  After a sentinel event in 2015 RACS  launched Building Respect.  In this conversation we delve into the nuts and bolts of what it actually takes in terms of planning,  investment, resources, expertise and supports to role out a strategy and system designed to change culture.        Rhea gives wonderful insights from her international learning and experience across disciplines and industries designing and implementing change in complex  systems.  The conversation zooms in and out from big picture systems thinking to on the ground clinician experience, from the professional to the personal and from the logistics of process to the truly practical. Rhea explains the mechanics of having peer " cup of coffee" conversations to address disrespectful behaviours, the evidence-base behind this work and some real world examples. She breaks down her very practical 5 step tool for helping medical students and doctors in training to build skills to address micro-aggressions and micro-inequities in the moment.     We discuss her own career journey experience, opportunities and challenges and her powerful drive, purpose and passion as a clinical champion and advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion permeates this entire conversation.

The Story of Hill House Manor with Linda Hill on The Loud Spot! This Texas house is one of the most haunted houses in the United States. There have been several prime time television shows regarding this home. Linda Hill owns the home, and this is some of her story. You can also check out her book Hill House Manor. This is our Halloween Special. Enjoy!

People are getting into the spooky spirit to celebrate Halloween. While some only have decorations up for the month of October, others in North Texas deal with spirits 365 days a year. On this episode of North Texas Wants to Know, host Baylee Friday talks to Debbi Davis who is an innkeeper at the infamously haunted Miss Molly's Hotel in Fort Worth. She also talks to TCU parapsychology professor Tim Barth and Hill House Manor owner, Linda Hill.

Dr. Linda Hill, Ph.D., a professor at the Harvard Business School, has advised a number of organizations in the process of digital transformation. The co-author of “Collective Genius: The Art and Practice of Leading Innovation” and “Being the Boss: Three Imperatives for Becoming a Great Leader” talks with host Maria Whitman about the steps biopharma leaders can take to help their organizations become more empowered and collaborative on their digital journey.

At this haunted North Texas house, the ghosts will 'freak' you all night longThe ghosts at this supposedly haunted house in Gainesville reportedly like to talk dirty. They're "sexual," the owner says. "There's no other way to put it."No one would confuse a small house on Denton Street in Gainesville for a moving company. But if you do move in, you haul yourself right back out -- and quick.“It's like a revolving door,” said Linda Hill, the home's owner. “The longest anyone stayed in this house was six months.”Years ago, Hill and her husband bought several homes in the same neighborhood in order to rent them out. The one on Denton Street was the only one that couldn't keep a stable tenant.Link: https://www.wfaa.com/amp/article/features/welcome-to-a-texas-haunted-house-where-the-ghosts-like-to-get-freaky/Life is a journey, an exploration.

Guest post by Paolo Gallo Executive Coach, Speaker, Author Harvard Business Review has recently celebrated its 100th birthday by publishing HBR at 100 their greatest hits, with the most influential and innovative articles. You will find thinkers and authors such as Michael Porter, John Kotter, Amy Edmonson, Linda Hill and many more. HBR chose Peter Drucker (1909-2005) as #1 on their list, as he's the father of modern management and leadership. In his long and creative life, Peter Drucker has contributed to business's philosophical and practical foundations. For Drucker, management was a liberal art: he always used interdisciplinary approach with history, philosophy, religion, culture, and psychology. Managing Oneself: a Lesson from Peter Drucker He was interested in the worker's mind rather than his hands, building therefore the bridge to understand the knowledge worker – term he coined – who replaced the merely physical worker pertinent to the first and second Industrial Revolutions. HBR selected the article Managing oneself published in 1999. The basis of Druker's writing is that Success in the knowledge economy comes to those who know themself, their strengths, their values and how they can contribute to their organization. The idea is not new, as we know that knowing yourself came originally from Socrates. Drucker proposes to use the following questions to increase your self-awareness and to manage oneself: 1) What are my strengths? To respond to this crucial question, he suggests using feedback analysis. In short: every time we take an important decision, write down the results we expect and anticipate from this decision. Then, a few months later, compare the results with the desired results. Which results are you skilled at generating? What do you need to improve? Which habits helped you or prevented you from achieving what you had in mind? 2) How do I perform and work? How I can contribute? Peter Drucker refers to how we process information and how we take a decision. By reading? By writing? By discussing with other people, by listening, by talking? In which situation do you give your best? Some work well under pressure while some don't. What is your preferred work style? 3) What are my values? Where I do belong? As shared in my book The Compass and the Radar having your value system compatible with one of the organizations you work for is crucial. After understanding your strengths, work style and values, you will be able to find the perfect fit. A meaningful question to ask yourself is “What do I stand for?” and verify if the mission and purpose of the organization is congruent to your answer. One world of cautiousness. Don't trust corporate videos or elegant statesmen's: is better to check by your self the credibility – not the visibility – of the company you would like to work for. The American comedian Margaret Young said, "The way it works is actually in reverse: First, you must be who you really are, then do what you need to do to have what you want. Best approach? Look inside yourself first as the journey for a meaningful career starts inside us. The excellent and impactful article by Peter Druker provides a solid and practical framework to guide us and to make it happen.

Dr. Rakesh Suri is one of the top heart transplant surgeons in the world - with stints at both Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic - the top two hospitals in the world. After an illustrious career as a surgeon, the Cleveland Clinic Board of Directors asked Rakesh to lead the effort to build a Cleveland Clinic subsidiary in the middle of the desert in Abu Dhabi. Rakesh and his team succeeded beyond all expectations. This discussion throws into stark relief how a world class expert in a technical discipline - heart surgery - can evolve into a world class leader, with a broad perspective and compelling vision. Rakesh's story was so compelling, that one of the world's top scholars - Linda Hill - a Professor at the Harvard Business School - wrote three case studies on this topic - focusing on leadership, globalization and innovation. During our podcast, Professor Hill comments on Rakesh's leadership journey and shares poignant examples of other, equally innovative organizations including Pixar and Pfizer. Many of these stories and lessons will be showcased in Professor Hill's eagerly anticipated next book, "Scaling Genius."

Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova.  This week we rewind back to our early history in the archives and revisit the conversation with leadership and innovation expert Dr. Linda Hill, who navigates us through both the theoretical aspects of inspirational leadership while providing a practical set of instructions for how to put it in practice for your daily life. Linda Hill is the Wallace Brett Dohm Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School and the chair of the Leadership Initiative. She's is regarded as one of the top experts on leadership, is the co-author of Collective Genius: The Art and Practice of Leading Innovation and Being the Boss. Dr. Hill is also the co-founder of Paradox Strategies and the co-creator of the Innovation Quotient. She was named by Thinkers50 as one of the top 10 management thinkers in the world in 2013 and received the Thinkers50 Innovation Award in 2015.  Her TED Talk, How to Manage Our Collective Creativity, has gotten more than 2 million views.      THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…  leaders and aspiring innovators.    TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… There is a misconception about leadership and leading innovation.  Leadership is communicating a vision and inspiring others to fulfill that vision.  Leading innovation is about creating an environment for people to be willing to go down that innovation path with you. The innovation path is paved with a greater purpose to do the hard, emotional, and intellectual work of innovating.     According to Dr. Hill, here are the 3 things we know about innovation:  Innovations are not the result of individuals having ‘aha' moments but are a result of a diverse collaboration of people.   You cannot plan an innovation; it's a messy process of discovery riddled with error.  Innovations are a combination of ideas.  If you want to lead and inspire innovation, you must have a culture where people are willing to get their hands dirty but also feel like they are part of the process.    WHAT  I  LOVE  MOST… This episode is a crash course in how to be a leader and leading change when you are trying to drive innovation.  Yes, leading change is different from leading innovation - it's about creating an environment to let people co-create with you.  Simply, let yourself breathe and give yourself and your team time to try things.  Finally, I love Dr. Hill's idea that innovation is a voluntary act…a bottom-up journey and not the other way around.      Running time: 38:34 Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani on social: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Instagram   Find Linda on social: Website Twitter LinkedIn TED Talk   Linda's Book: Collective Genius

Using findings from her two books — “Collective Genius” and “Being the Boss” — Harvard Business School professor Linda Hill reflects on the elements of leadership that produce innovation. She argues for a view of leaders as social architects, tasked with building cultures and capabilities necessary for their teams to do their best and most creative work. For organizations looking to learn from her leadership playbook, she counsels focusing on creative abrasion, creative agility and creative resolution. *This episode is an excerpt taken from our 2021 interview.

Why is it that so many first time managers fail?

David's an entrepreneur and an angel investor in more than 30 companies. He's the co-founder and CEO of Bionic, unlocking growth and competitiveness in the world's largest enterprises. He's also a bestselling author, which includes The Startup Playbook and his latest book, New To Big. But before we get a chance to speak with David, it's The Leadership Hacker News.   The Leadership Hacker News Steve Rush: What comes to mind when you hear the word “Startup”, if it's a trendy loft conversion in London's Shoreditch, or a grungy basement in the heart of Silicon Valley, you're probably not alone. A large proportion of people think that startups is just a term for a team of one or two people that have a common thread. In fact, many startups include large scale growth companies, and of course a startup, does not stay a startup. It can often graduate to larger organizations readily, requiring more office space, generating higher revenues and having many employees. The global pandemic has spurned a rise in new companies, startups. In the UK in 2020, 278,300 new companies were started. And then the US 804,000 businesses were also started. That's about 10% up year on year. So, if your entrepreneurial spirit has been ignited, I just wanted to share some simple facts with you about startups. Some of the things we can get excited about, and some of the things we maybe need to be wary about. Patience is a virtue. The average time between seed funding to Series A is typically 22 months. And between A and B is 24 months and B to C is 27 months. So, there's a long lead in to successful organizations of which 47% of Series A start up spend more than $400,000 dollars per month. Not all startups are big, but the average round for Series C investments is $50 million dollars between the UK and the US. The average time to incorporate a business globally is typically six days, not much time really. And when we look to the ratio of who's leading startups, the ratio of men, entrepreneurs to women entrepreneurs in 2020 was 10 versus 7. Statistic show whoever's leading them, but 90% of all startups fail with 10% failing within the first year across all industries. And the number one reason for failure was that startups fail to misread the market demand. And the second largest reason why startups fail is due to running out of cash. The good news is that 33% of startup capital for employer led firms is less than £10,000 (pounds) or $14,000 (dollars). With one in three businesses, starting with a less than £5,000 (pounds) or $7,000 (dollars). So, what did the experts say? Well, according to respondents of small business trends survey, the best way to learn about entrepreneurial ship is to do it. Start a company, test and learn. And if you have an idea, research businesses similar to that, that you have in your head, and you're thinking that have been active for longer than five years, assess all the potential bottlenecks apart from the competition and make sure that the team that you gather to help you on your journey is experienced enough that you're aware of those threats and have some experience in helping you fill your gaps in knowledge and expertise. In a recent interview with Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, he suggests the secret to successful hiring is this. Look for people who want to change the world, don't just look at the resume. And having done it and got some t-shirts along the way. The most valuable thing you can do as a founder of a business is to recognize your downfalls beforehand, learning from other businesses, how they've won and how they failed and apply that knowledge as part of your startup thinking, that's been The Leadership Hacker News. Please get in touch, if you have any stories or news that you want our listeners to hear.   Start of Podcast   Steve Rush: David Kidder is our special guest on today's show. He's a serial entrepreneur, having invested in over 40 startups, including SpaceX. He's also a New York times bestselling author and the CEO and co-founder of Bionic. David welcome to The Leadership Hacker Podcast. David Kidder: Very grateful to be here. Steve Rush: Me too. It's been a while since you and I last met, the world is a very different place now. Before we get into some of the things that are presenting themselves with the work that we do now, perhaps for our listeners, you can give us just a little bit of a backstory as to how you've arrived at doing what you do? David Kidder: Well, I've been an entrepreneur now and founder four times. I've had three venture backed services and SAAS companies that I've sold over the last 25 years. This company I've been involved in building for the last eight years as a co-founder in Berkowitch and it started really with a book, The Startup Playbook about in 2007, 2008 and onstage at a fortune 10 company after doing a keynote with a single question, actually from the vice chairman about how to disrupt. And from there I started doing keynotes and workshops with Eric Reese all over the world. Bionic was really born out of that. And it's been an incredible journey building, you know, a $20 million dollar company. We saw the biggest CEOs in the world P&G, General Mills, Microsoft and others. Really just a privilege to be doing this work of growth transformation. Steve Rush: And its that whole philosophy of growth transformation that sits at the heart of disruption. And when people hear the word disruption, they don't often think of it as a positive thing, but in fact, you call it out as being essential, don't you? David Kidder: Well, I think as something that's really about you, then it could be problematic because you think, you know, it's your fault or it creates discomfort. Disruption usually is something that happens from the outside in, is changed, right? The needs and the world change, which we have experienced last year. Steve Rush: Right. David Kidder: And, you know, it forces you to reset and to move outside of what has been working in rediscovering things. And that's not something you can plan for. So, it draws out a completely different mindset and skillset to do that work, which, you know, is largely uncomfortable because it's managing the unknowable and that comes from a completely different skill set. So, it's an exciting chapter and we should be grateful for the test because we'll be better on the other side of it. But you can't try to get out of the discomfort and you have to be able to grow comfortable with that. Steve Rush: And it's the uncertainty that causes most discomfort in people. How do you grab hold of that uncertainty and create more certainty? David Kidder: Well, I think it's important to reframe it like if you have, it draws some of the psychology of loss of version, which is you always overvalue what you have and you undervalue what you could become, what is available to you. And so, in that context, knowing how the mind works, knowing how you know, humans, the species love to have planning and safety as comfort. When you have this these transformation opportunities, it's really about reframing and overvaluing, what is possible, what's available to you. And so, by holding on to that and saying, ah, I have this value in my hand, but I'm required to either replace it or add a new opportunity or new hand, so to speak that I have to become. You reframe it because it's something to pursue, maybe it's required, but that pursuit really energizes the change. And it's not to something to be feared. It's something to be embraced because it's just the natural way to evolve into growth. Steve Rush: It's kind of ironic, isn't it? Because if you think back over the last hundred years, nothing's really been certain, we've always been in a world of uncertainty, but we've had perhaps a different mindset. David Kidder: Yeah, I mean, control is a myth. I mean, I've made it all, lost it all. It made it all, lost it all twice now in my career just by investing in building companies and, you know, I've gone through incredible highs and I've gone through a brokenness. And I think one of the things that has accelerated my failure in the past when I've had it is just the idea that it's about you and to control. And so, the more you hang on to your plan, your vision, and you don't accept all of the possibilities from extraordinary success to extraordinary failure and be comfortable with that, right? David Kidder: And say, success, you know, comes in two front-page coverage, you're a hero, and you're an idiot, right? Steve Rush: Yeah, exactly. David Kidder: You have to be able to be a position to give it over and ask for the outcome, because then, you know, the universe and your people can conspire to help you solve the need as opposed to directly and exclusively coming from you. That's where mistakes are made is that we don't get to the truth because we don't ask from our team and we're not willing to accept it. Steve Rush: There's this lack of control that comes with also giving away some of the stuff that you have; and ironically, the more you give away, the more you receive in return, that's kind of how the world kind of plays out, right? David Kidder: Yeah, you can you can always suffocate possibility by hanging on to things in a zero-sum view of the world. It's really a non-zero, right? I think this is essential to what you're saying is, that people, their very nature is there's a limited supply of an outcome. There's a limited supply of, you know, consulting. There's a limited supply of services. There's a limited supply of customers, and that's a total addressable market view of the world. That's a limited zero-sum view of the world. It's actually the non-zero. The unlimited version is to think about the total addressable need in the world and how it's evolving. And that takes you from the inside out to the outside in. From zero sum to non-zero, from fear to abundance, from market to need. And you start to really radically evolve your discovery of what your role is in solving it. The marketplace is an opportunity is unlimited. It's only limited to the fact of your ability to create the permission for you to go pursue it, that's it. And that's inside your mind, Steve Rush: Big organizations, I guess, think the same way or the people that work in big organizations also feel the same way as that's the focus of the work that you have with Bionic. Maybe you can just give us a little sense of how you're helping organizations go through that same transformation? David Kidder: Thank you for that Steve. We have a philosophy. That's in a book I wrote called, We, as a company wrote called New To Big. I wrote it with Christina Wallace, who was our VP of marketing and a brilliant writer and thinker. She helped curate this from the company, which is this concept that the big to bigger organizations, that scale are literally at war with growth. They're paid to create efficiency and certainty. And so, when there's change and you're paid incentivized to make what you have work, you actually can't evolve. It's actually, you're at war with growth, stakeholders and the addiction of being right and, you know, rack and stack ROI and all things really limits the organization ability to evolve because you're literally making what you have work. New To Big, really describes a way of thinking and working. We've pioneered the idea of growth mindset in a big company and the systems to support that, we call a Growth OS. It really solves the discovery missing skills versus the planning skills inside an organization in a model. So, we set up growth boards. We set portfolios of total addressable problems and needs. We launched large volumes of entrepreneurs inside and outside the organization to experiment and test, to figure out what to build partner or buy that creates their future as we go launch it. But more importantly is that we fix the growth operations of an organization, the functions that are designed to stop new things from happening, become entrepreneurial. Marketing and sales and compliance and fines come around because they learned to act small because the question that companies need to ask is, should we do this? So, if you're only asking that with planning in five big bets a year, you're in big trouble, you're not learning anything, you're making what you have work. Our model creates that pipeline of always on growth, in the same way, you know, Six Sigma lean manufacturing created efficiency. Bionic has pioneered a model, which is sort of the anti of that. And every company in the world needs this. We've done this at the top of organizations at the CEO level P&G, General Mills, Nike, Citi Corporate, others, with extraordinary impact. Steve Rush: And when I read this from you, I had a little bit of an “A-HA” moment because from a consulting perspective when I work with my clients, it's often around how can we do things faster, more efficient, more effectively, which comes with either streamlining a process, saving some money, looking at resources. And you literally have just flipped that on its head around,  it's not about the efficiencies. It's about the effectiveness. Tell us a little bit about how you came to that? David Kidder: It's because we don't come from the industry. You know, I, my entire background, and my co-founders are all entrepreneurs. And so, we didn't come competing with McKinsey or BCG who we do almost exclusively today. Who kind of copy us at this point which is sort of a compliment and also annoying. We could never be them and they can never be us. The way we think, they will be a radical outsider. Be able to walk away at the cost of the truth, creates a friction in the leadership that allows them to go on offense, because, you know, the leaders thought leaders like Adam Grant and Linda Hill and Justin Berg and General Stanley McChrystal who all serve on Bionic advisory board so often have driven a way to think differently as a way of running the company. And here's why this is so important. About 70% of all growth comes from 7% capital deployed. So, if we make a hundred bags or I spent a hundred million or whatever it is, 7% of that is going to be all the returns. So, if I go back to the beginning and say, why did I invest in those ideas or innovations? They have two qualities. One is high conviction. Why us and why now? And two is, is non-consensus. We make all of our decisions from the ideas, with the highest disagreement. Steve Rush: Wow, yeah.   David Kidder: So conversely, when you have consensus, you're basically screwed. You have to be able to hold. Non-consensus, high conviction solutions to new problems from the outside in portfolios, a lot of failure to figure out why us and why now. Disruption is important, but how you react to it is more important. Steve Rush: I love that. And it makes loads of sense when you say it. It's almost one of those, why didn't I do this before? Because ultimately what you're suggesting is consensus is another word for group think almost, isn't it? You're looking for convergence, rather than divergence and strategic thinking. David Kidder: Yeah, the reason why it's so uncomfortable, because it's new to you and new to the world, your entire bias is to make what you have work, and it's super dangerous. Steve Rush: Yeah, it is. For sure. Now, there's not many chances you get to say to people. Yeah, well, you wrote the book on it and you did, you wrote The Startup Playbook and you had the network and opportunity to interview over 40 of the world's greatest Gamechangers, including Elon Musk and Sarah Blakely, just to name, but a few. What did you notice having had the opportunity to interview all of these great leaders and entrepreneurs and thinkers that was consistent? David Kidder: Yeah, I mean, it's a great question. The summary of the book I wrote on a single flight in six hours from, you know, let's say San Francisco back to New York where I live. And I didn't realize how significant that introduction would change my life, but it was really the synthesis of those that time. I remember 10 years ago, Elan was broke, sleeping on my friend's couch in Palo Alto. And you know, last week is the world's richest guy, because he always was in his mind. What I think is interesting is that when you listen to that summation of the time with them and in the book, The Start Playbook, there's like summaries of the lenses, those entrepreneurs use to select their ideas. So, it's the way they view it. It's their mindset that allows them to lead and bet their life on an idea that has turned into in most cases, a huge outcome. I summarize this called the five lenses. So, if you listen to all the time, basically they say an idea would pass through these five lenses in the same order, over a period of typically three years before you know how big it could be. And the first lens is proprietary gift. Why you and why now? Like, what's your unfair advantage? The second one is extreme focus. You don't want 10 ideas. You want one solution to one problem. So, getting the validation, the first principles logic in place, so you can get extreme focus. So, you have night and day obsession, conscious and subconscious working at problem is could vital to making this work. The third lens is you have to go painkillers, not vitamins. Vitamins are wishful thinking and wishful thinking is the enemy, according to Elon. So, getting the painkiller, which solves who is the customer, right? Solves the chronic lifelong malignant problem that is you can solve forever, which leads the last two lenses, which are something that you become, which is the 10X factor was the fifth, fourth ones, which is what element of the business given enough time could be 10 times better than anyone else in the world. And then the fifth lens is permanence. Like, how do you build a monopoly? How do you put hooks and barbs in customers so they can never leave? So, you could evolve with them for years and so, they'll quit. So those five lenses are very high bar. They're not something to be thought about that some of you discovered and you need to learn them over a period of time that allows them to become true because you're deploying energy, money, capital, people into becoming that. So, I'll pause there, but they're quite profound when you think about your own business. And I hope that listeners do as well. Steve Rush: Yeah, I love the whole principle. It's almost a systematic approach to thinking about this is the direction I need to take the business in. Need to take the leadership of the organization in as well. David Kidder: Yep Steve Rush: If you were to peel back all of the layers across all of the lenses across those 40. Is there may be the one thing that stands out beyond everything else that is the most important, the most significant? David Kidder: You got to care the most, it's obsession. I'll tell you; I mean, I can speak my very modest career. But I think that whatever you do, when you care the most, it almost always works in whatever view of works defines you. So, I think that's the most important thing is that you deeply, deeply care. You just won't be able to get through the hard times if you don't. Because you know, no matter how successful the company is, you're going to go through blink at death moments. I mean, you know, we had one, you know, this last year of the pandemic and, you know, not only survived, but thrived through it as a result of that, you know, you don't sleep on the factory floor on the brink of death unless you care more. And I think that's the central limit. It's not just passion, and yeah, I love something, it's obsession is born to do it. And I think you should listen to that voice inside of you and not play to lose. You have to play to win, to be able to produce something of any meaning. Steve Rush: I love it. Awesome. So, if I'm a leader in an established team or business, I'm not involved in the VC startup environment, is there anything that you think that would be useful for me to consider? So that would fully propel me in my existing business. David Kidder: Yes. I mean, the idea that, you know, growth is exclusively a venture capital entrepreneurship idea is false. We proven that over the world-class bunch of years, you know, this is a form of management. In the same way have actually master's degree of administration that solve the big to bigger, because it's no noble. We have management skills in discovering investing and solving new problems that are called growth investing in entrepreneurship as a form of a career. And it's not exclusive to outside of companies. It's that outside of companies have not created the incentive to be paid to do it, but they can do it, we've proven that, at billions of values. So, I just think that you know, the biggest mindset shift when you're thinking about how to manage and why you manage this and how to solve disruption is one of the concepts that Bionic has pioneered called TAM to TAP. It's sort of Total Addressable Marketplace view of the world to a Total Addressable Problem. From linear five big bets a year to portfolio with a 90% failure rate, recollect five, let's 50 where 90% fail within two or three years, but they're going to discover the proprietary gifted in us and the need of the world that we had to solve become. So that Tamba Tap really changes from an inside out to an outside of a new world. So, it ends the technology in search of a problem or science in search of a customer problem challenge, that is almost always fatal because how do you know what to make? If you don't know a problem you're solving. These ideas are so profoundly simple, but they have massive impact organizations that are literally crossing their fingers and hoping their ideas work. So, if you read New To Big, the book, you'll start to get kind of the beta or the 1.0 of how to think about this. And then we have a whole bunch of new learning you can go to onbionic.com and learn more about it, or just reach out to me. But I think these are concepts that help shift the organization's mindset and begin journey of like discovery because it draws a distinction from efficiency and planning. Steve Rush: I think mindset is massive here, right? So, when I hear you talk about a portfolio with a 90% fail rate, my stomach does starts to churn, right? So how do you get into the mindset to help people in an organization recognize that's okay. David Kidder: Well, you need to play into their, you know, genetics, which is, you know, if we launched 90 things and it's more efficient than launching five big expensive failures, because they now, these people are really smart. They know that they're launched five things, one will work, they're all going to cost 50 million. But if I could launch a hundred, the all costs a hundred grand, I actually saved money. I get more shots on goal. I see more. I discover myself and I'm right on time because market timing drives these needs. They realize that we can't just show up my balance sheet and my brand and make it work because it's not about us. It's about solving the need. It's the outside force. It's the rip that makes the business work, not ours. And so, it's being there when it happens. When you're positioning capital or new need or the need that just changed of your customer, which is why disruption happens. Disruption happens, when the change comes to you versus you arriving with it, but it shows up at your doorstep, like what happens in the pandemic. It's all because the need changed. The customer's behavior changed, that's it. Behaviors don't lie, how it got delivered, how it got paid for, how it gets solved, AI, technology outside forces. But none of that matters. It's simply what the customer does that we're trying to solve. And in many cases, the customer doesn't even know. So how do you discover the change? The customer doesn't even understand that's happening. You only can discover that through experiments and learning with them. Not for them, not inside, for them, with them. And so, this is profound. Like, I mean, it sounds simple, but when you start working, thinking this way, this changes everything. Steve Rush: Is academically sounds very simple, but behaviorally. There is so much going on with mindsets, behaviors, systems, political warfare internally, I guess, plays out here too. Has it been a time maybe that you found that when you've met with an organization, they've gone no way, David, we're not playing this game? This is far too risky. David Kidder: Of course, of course. Steve Rush: So how do you deal with that? David Kidder: Well, I mean, listen, Bionic has worked with 26 companies in the last eight years, but we work at the CEO level. These companies work with the largest of the world. I mentioned a couple of names, Citi Corp you know, General Mills, Nike, Santander, P&G is a very incredible case study for us. There's actually an HBS case study on this work written by Linda Hill about the Growth OS, but largely about Kathy Fish, the head of global R&D at P&G, She's amazing. But the point is, is that not every company is ready because the CEO it creates or denies the permission to grow. I wrote the purpose of Bionic was to ignite growth revolutions. And what I've come to realize is it's actually not about money. It's about the interior life of the leader. They are the ceiling of what's possible for our organization. Steve Rush: Right. David Kidder: What freaks them out is, in the past. When they launched a hundred things, nothing ever died. They started lighting money on fire. They had to manage it. They need a way to manage it and not light their money on fire. And our model is that answer. And when they get comfortable with that, they go to scale. I mean, our partners are launching hundreds of startups, a quarter zonally vertically. They're adding hundreds of millions in some cases, billions of new revenues each year repeatedly. So, I rarely use the word innovation because of the brain damage around it, it's a toy. You have to create urgency, grow or die. When that happens, the question is, how? And the work Bionic does, New To Big is the how. Steve Rush: From your portfolio experience. So, you're an investor and you've got a significant portfolio of your own investments that you've made in other startups and businesses. Is there one that you've got there? It's the favorite child?   David Kidder: I do. It's just one that you wouldn't think. Of course, there's the unicorns and those are exciting. And it takes about 50 bets to produce one in your life, even if you're connected, your shot is 1 in a 50. Unless you're very fortunate and network effect. And I was very fortunate because of that, but there's a company that I love and it's a founder, Lindsay Rosner, it's called Wellthy. The obsession comment I made earlier, born to do it. She is the, like the perfect case study for this, for profound reasons. So, Wellthy does a care coordination and they help families manage care at a distance. Family lives in lots of parts of the world or the country or town, even. A family member is sick, maybe they have mental illness. Maybe they have a degenerate disease or dementia, lots of stakeholders, lots of regulation and complexity. And they built a platform to solve that. It's like a quarterback managing all the aspects of caring for a single loved one. So that everyone's on the same page always. And you know, that was because, you know, Lindsay, when she grew up, you know, her mom had MS. And she was an only child and she had to lead and love and care for her mother through her very young age, through college, where she put herself through to Ivy league schools, started her own company. She is incredible, and she did this because she was born into it, obsession and gifted. And along the way, you know, she lost her mother and that continued to drive the purpose of her life. But Wellthy is a born to do a proprietary gift story that I love to tell because I love Lindsay, but I also just love the purpose of that company is on. And it's a great example of what will be a huge success because of her. Steve Rush: Awesome. Now, from your perspective, looking outside in at new opportunity like that, what drives your fire in your belly more? Is it that obsession with the people you work with or is it the product or return on investment? David Kidder: I mean, I probably should be more investment driven, you know, I've had raised a lot of venture, deployed a lot of venture. I love the becoming, I had a mentor and a relative of mine who passed away in 2014. Amazing guy, clinical psychologist, on the board of a bunch of big famous companies, great consultants. When he sold this company age 70, he passed away. Roger Fronske about nine months later. I was the last week person to see him. And he started me on my career as my uncle when I was 16. As he passed away, I saw him a couple of days before, and we were together and were forehead to ford, as he was saying goodbye. He had brain cancer, and he said, don't focus on who you are to the world, focus on who you're becoming. The idea becoming now, which is central to my philosophy but also that of my companies is that, you know, when you get to the top, you realize there's nothing there. The journey is where the growth is. That's where the love is. That's where the people are, relationships the vulnerability, the change. So, when you try to escape that, get out of that, to get to the exit, get to the top, finally get blank, you realize like what a perishable identity you have with that success. The success is falling in love with the becoming. And I really counsel my teams and the company, my culture, to create the doctrine, to make choices that choose the becoming versus, you know, performance and, you know, kind of like the silly comparison. That's a solving to probably an old shame in your life that you have to be successful but, in this case, find what you love. I love that part of the work. And so, wherever I apply, the energy will be important to me. Steve Rush: Really profound story, thank you for sharing it by the way, David, I appreciate it. David Kidder: Yeah, of course. Steve Rush: So, this part of the show is where we start to hack into your leadership brain. And I'm going to ask you to distill all of the years of learning experiences in organizations and tap into the very top three leadership hacks that you have. David Kidder: One that is new to me is to lead with the truth. This is one of the profound lessons I've learned in building Bionic is that people want the truth so they can help. Not because they're scared, but because they want to help and what they resent when you don't tell them the truth and ask them to help is that you didn't ask them because that's why they're there. So that is a gap between you, the CEO and the team, and that gap is can really only be filled by the team because most of the answers always come from the edge of the team. So that was one of the big one is lead with the truth. And it will shock you where you end up. Number two is I start in my day with a five-minute journal and it helps me understand where I am in the journey each day. I think there's a famous saying, which says, you're always optimistic about what you can accomplish in a day and you undress it and you can accomplish it in a year. So, getting the day right is most important. So, my five minute opens and closes the day with what I'm grateful for, what I need for that day. What I asks of the truths I need that day and also ask the universe, like, what do I need? And so, I close and begin the day, figuring out those things, but also reflect on like, hey, how could I have grown? You know, what can I handle better? That's the second one. And the third one is really the becoming part, which I just shared why that was important, but the becoming is philosophical, but it's also really important because you need a lot of patients when you're trying to create change and grow something. You know, the greatest force of the universe is compound interest. Will you do the right thing for a long period of time, it's inevitable. If you get that system right, that you'll be successful in whatever you define success, because it's what you think about. So, getting those things right, you know, those hacks right of the truth, that's reflective in the five-minute journal. And then you focus on becoming, I think no matter where you focus, your energy will lead to extraordinary outcomes. Steve Rush: Very great lessons. Thank you so much. The next part of our show is we call affectionately Hack to Attack. So, this is where something in your life or work has not worked out as planned. Could have been quite catastrophic or even screwed up. But as a result of the experience, we've now used that experience as a positive force in our life and work, what will be your Hack to Attack David? David Kidder: Hit the reset button, start over. I think people underestimate how powerful it is, is to set down an old truth, set down a day, set down an hour and start over. The ability to restart, reset, restart, however you want define it, is a miracle. You could restart your life. You could restart your career. You could restart your day. You could restart your relationship with person, your kids, your spouse, your co-founder, yourself. In a minute, in an hour, in a day, in a week, whenever you want. It's just a choice. And so being able to say, okay, that was a super bad morning. I'm going to restart my morning. I'm going to restart this meeting in the meeting. I'm going to restart this conversation. I'm going to restart my financial life, my savings, my spending, whatever it is. That power is available to you. I remember I had a moment when I went through total abject failure and had to build back. I was imagining myself running through these thorns, right? This my metaphor, but this how I felt. The harder ran the deeper the thorns got. I had nothing left. I was bleeding out, but I kept going because I would not fail. And I had this moment. It was probably one of most courageous resets in my life. As I imagined myself, lifting myself out of that road and putting myself on a clean new road. But what I did is as I moved myself back to when I was 20 years old. And when I realized is that all the same things that I knew and believed and was hopeful for about the future when I was 20 was still true today. I just need to re up, re believe, reset. And what were the challenge for me was I felt foolish and naive because who does that? Maybe I should just quit and find safety, that was all fear. And so that courageousness of starting over, but starting back in time, when you knew what was possible, all that optimism back, it just an amazing force. So, my hack is to reset or restart, however you define it. I think it's probably the greatest privilege and power we have in our lives. And you have the choice to do it at any moment in your day, week or life, to begin again. Steve Rush: Comes back down to mindset as well, doesn't it? David Kidder: Hundred percent. Steve Rush: Having the conviction to say, right. Need to change, need to do it. Now, ironically, our third and final thing that we wanted to take you through was a bit of time travel and you get to almost revisit the 20-year-old. And in this case, the 21-year-old David and give him some advice, what would be your advice then? David Kidder: To love yourself. And I think it's hard to not think about that through a lens of like selflessness, because I think that it's like, what I've discovered is that. I have three sons and I love them like the power of the sun, right? And as you think about how you love them; you would never want them to do something or be something that was harmful to themselves, that wasn't for loving themselves, right? Because they become, you know, a performance addict or, you know, all the dope, right? Steve Rush: Sure. David Kidder: Make the field better. So, I think if you can take that same power and shine it from your soul to yourself, you can realize, am I doing this through love or fear? And so, when you start to look at the choices that you're making in your life, in your business, yourself, especially largely they're made through performance and fear, but if you can get that orientation, right. That observer self to yourself saying, you know, I love you Steve, then I could ask the question is, why are you doing this? What are you needing? And that changes everything. And I taught my kids about this, but I would talk to myself about this, if I went back to when I was 21, because it would have saved me probably 10 years of my life, at least I'm 47 now, because I just made choices out of fear. Steve Rush: Yeah, and we often do, because that sense of fear is that self-preservation thing working out, which is what most entrepreneurs flip to use, their opportunity. David Kidder: Yup, a hundred percent. They're not even solving the problem. They're solving something inside themselves. Usually, it's an old shame. Steve Rush: I did some research for this many, many years ago, actually. And most entrepreneurs happen to be the least academical individuals as well, because they've used their creativity. They've focused on intuition. They've used all of those raw kind of right-hand emotions versus the left-hand emotions that we need to be effective in business too. David Kidder: Yeah. It's funny, you mentioned the word academic. I am almost anti academic and my dad was a psychologist, PhD. It's hilarious because, while we have a couple of PhDs at Bionic, who I love, where, you know, we create the outcome and you know, it's grounded in good academics, but it's not all that. Steve Rush: Right. So, what's new and what's next for you David? And for the folk at Bionic? David Kidder: You know, for now. I mean, it's the same, the purpose of our lives, the purpose of Bionic. My writing, thinking, and the company has never been more needed in the world today than any time in my lifetime. And certainly not since we started the company, I mean, transformation and growth are the most important things in the world today. And it's what we do. And so, I am in the right place, right time, you know, classic overnight journey, eight years in the work. And I couldn't be more honored to be doing it. Steve Rush: And if ever there was a right time to get you onto our show, it's also the now. So thank you for being with us. David Kidder: Grateful.   Steve Rush: Where's the best place for us to send folk who would like to learn a bit more about you, but more about the work that you do, you're writing and Bionic. David Kidder: Sure. So, there's two places for big companies. If see a big company you can go to onbionic.com O-N-B-I-O-N-I-C.com, learn more about transformation for big organizations there. For speaking or keynotes or books. You can go to davidskidder.com, D-A-V-I-D S in Steve K-I-D-D-E-R.com and there is a bunch of stuff up there. And hopefully it's enjoyable, feel free to reach out.

Negotiations describe so many of the most memorable points of our life and explain how we evolve as individuals and as leaders. Hear some amazing stories and unique insights from my discussion with a negotiation expert, attorney, Ellenore Angelidis, a former executive at Amazon for 13 years and the company's first Global Director of Diversity, philanthropist, entrepreneur, and the founder and CEO of L.E.A.D. (Lead Empower Activate Dream), LLC.  Some highlights from our discussion:  1) "How do you give the other side what they want on terms you can accept" referenced by Ellenore from Scotwork negotiation courses (www.scotworkusa.com) 2) Magic question in a negotiation - "What would it take?" 3) Preparation of multiple conditions or options that the other party will find valuable 4) Negotiation is a team collaboration in which nobody should become "defensive" 5) Special negotiation book or training course recommendations: "Getting to Yes" by Roger Fisher and William Ury; "Collective Genius" by Linda Hill; Scotwork Negotiation course.  Quote from this episode by Ellenore: "...The whole reason you get innovation is the friction of different people's ideas and if you do not manage it well you will get friction of people...".  Finally, she also tells a story that illustrates the significance of collaboration and teams: a young athlete and state tennis champion for 3 straight years is much less talented in basketball, yet when his team wins the state championship in basketball he tells the whole team that his greatest joy as an athlete was as a bench player on this winning basketball team".   --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alloutcoach/support

Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova. Dr. Linda Hill is my latest guest on the podcast. She is the Wallace Brett Dohm Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School and the chair of the Leadership Initiative. She’s is regarded as one of the top experts on leadership, is the co-author of Collective Genius: The Art and Practice of Leading Innovation and Being the Boss. Dr. Hill is also the co-founder of Paradox Strategies and the co-creator of the Innovation Quotient. She was named by Thinkers50 as one of the top 10 management thinkers in the world in 2013 and received the Thinkers50 Innovation Award in 2015.  Her TED Talk, How to Manage Our Collective Creativity, has gotten more than 2 million views.  THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… leaders and aspiring innovators. TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE… There is a misconception about leadership and leading innovation.  Leadership is communicating a vision and inspiring others to fulfill that vision.  Leading innovation is about creating an environment for people to be willing to go down that innovation path with you. The innovation path is paved with a greater purpose to do the hard, emotional, and intellectual work of innovating.    According to Dr. Hill, here are the 3 things we know about innovation: 1. Innovations are not the result of individuals having ‘aha’ moments but are a result of a diverse collaboration of people. 2. You cannot plan an innovation; it’s a messy process of discovery riddled with error. 3.  Innovations are a combination of ideas. If you want to lead and inspire innovation, you must have a culture where people are willing to get their hands dirty but also feel like they are part of the process. WHAT I LOVE MOST… This episode is a crash course in how to be a leader and leading change when you are trying to drive innovation.  Yes, leading change is different from leading innovation - it’s about creating an environment to let people co-create with you.  Simply, let yourself breathe and give yourself and your team time to try things.  Finally, I love Dr. Hill’s idea that innovation is a voluntary act…a bottom-up journey and not the other way around.  Running time: 38:29 Subscribe on iTunes Find Tiffani on social: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Find Linda on social: TED Talk Bio  

For some people, facilitation is a means to an end: Getting things done, more in less time. Taking the time to think and talk can seem like a luxury when your team just wants to just "get going". Facilitation, then, becomes like any tool like a drill, or a knife...you don't actually want the tool, you want a hole in the wall or a carrot sliced. When you're done with the tool, you go on to the next thing! But for other people, this space between posing a challenge, thinking, talking and doing, is worth deepening. Facilitation then becomes more than a thing you do to get to the next thing...It becomes a way of being and approaching the world.  Facilitation becomes a core value, a principle. The problem with facilitation as a means to an end is that facilitating well is a design problem in and of itself, which requires thoughtful work and practice. Focusing on the ends instead of the means, in this case, can cause people to give light consideration to facilitating masterfully. But when the conversation really matters, someone really should design the conversation. It's really delightful to talk to someone like Alison for whom, like me, facilitation *is* the work...deepening it for ourselves and others is why we do what we do: Not just helping teams as a facilitator, but helping others to develop as facilitators. Alison is the founder of Bracket, a consultancy based in the UK. She helps teams at companies of all stripes to work better together. She's also written a lovely book  “A Pocket Guide to Effective Workshops”. Alison is also, like me, a workshop geek. Facilitation is a design skill, and like any design process, each facilitator is going to bring their own assumptions, good and bad, into the process. So it's critical to be self-aware: Why do you make the design choices that you make? Alison is a thoughtful practitioner who helps other facilitators become the same way. Design is about intention. A facilitator needs to be able to visualize each and every step through the workshop process... What size paper will people be using when and why? What color and thickness of pen? The sheer number of design choices involved in the process means that facilitators *can* fall into a rut. Finding fresh perspectives and approaches is crucial...which is what this podcast is all about! I hope you enjoy this episode!

Collective Genius: The Art and Practice of Leading Innovation by Linda Hill This on demand audio series is a part of the Executive Girlfriends Group Vignette Series. Chicke Fitzgerald interviews Linda Hill. The original live interview was 4/10/15. At the heart of innovation is a paradox: you have to unleash the talents and passions of many people, yet you have to harness them into a work that is actually useful. Management professor Linda Hill offers three keys to overcoming this paradox and building a truly innovative organization. If you want a more innovative organization, you may need to change the way you lead. Great leaders of innovation don't fit the conventional mold of “good” leadership. They're not visionaries who set direction and inspire others to follow. Instead, they create the context in which others are both willing and able to innovate. As one leader said, “My job is to set the stage, not to perform on it.” This is the key insight gleaned by the authors of Collective Genius who, led by Harvard leadership scholar Linda Hill, spent a decade studying leaders of innovative firms in the US, Europe, India, and Asia, including such companies as Pixar, Google, Volkswagen, HCL Technologies, IBM, and the Sungjoo Group.

Qual é o segredo para desvendar a criatividade escondida dentro de seu trabalho diário, dando à cada ideia uma grande chance? A professora de Harvard, Linda Hill, coautora de "Gênio Coletivo", estudou algumas das companhias mais criativas do mundo para criar um conjunto de ferramentas e táticas para manter grandes ideias fluindo - de todos na companhia e não apenas dos escolhidos como "criativos".

Quel est le secret de trouver la clé des créativités cachées dans votre travail quotidien, et de donner à chaque idée extraordinaire une chance de se réaliser? Professeur Linda Hill de l'Université de Harvard, coauteur de «Collectives Genius », a étudié quelques-unes des compagnies les plus créatives pour fournir des outils et des tactiques de permettre à des idées fantastiques de s'envoler - et elles viennent de tous les employés, pas seulement des « créatifs ».

여러분의 일상에서 숨겨진 창의성을 끄집어내고 그 위대한 아이디어에 기회를 주는 비법은 무엇일까요? "집단적 지성"의 공동저자인 하버드의 린다 힐 교수는 --지정된 '독창적인 사람' 뿐만 아니라, 회사의 모든 직원들이-- 위대한 아이디어를 계속 떠올리도록 도와주는 방법과 기술들을 알아내기 위해 세계에서 가장 창의적인 기업들을 연구해왔습니다.

¿Cuál es el secreto para desbloquear la creatividad escondida en las actividades cotidianas, dando a cada gran idea una oportunidad? La profesora de Harvard Linda Hill, coautora de "El genio colectivo", ha estudiado algunas de las empresas más creativas del mundo para llegar a un conjunto de herramientas y tácticas para mantener grandes ideas que fluyen de cualquier persona de la empresa, no solo de los "creativos ".

What's the secret to unlocking the creativity hidden inside your daily work, and giving every great idea a chance? Harvard professor Linda Hill, co-author of "Collective Genius," has studied some of the world's most creative companies to come up with a set of tools and tactics to keep great ideas flowing -- from everyone in the company, not just the designated "creatives."

If you want to know what “collective genius” can look like, watch a Pixar film. Pixar Animation Studios produce the first computer generated (cg) feature film, “Toy Story,” nearly twenty years ago. More blockbusters followed, including “Finding Nemo,” and “Monsters, Inc.” Pixar has thrived because it has never stopped innovating. Our guest on this edition of “The Business” is Harvard Business School Professor Linda Hill, one of the authors of the new book “Collective Genius: The Art and Practice of Leading Innovation.” She says every one of these cg films has been an innovative tour de force, yet no solitary genius, no flash of inspiration, produced those movies.” Instead, she writes, they were the product of hundreds of people, years of work, and hundreds of millions of dollars.

Greg Brandeau ’84 SM ’85 shares his takeaways from leading innovation at Pixar Animation Studios, working alongside Steve Jobs, and embedding himself in the world's most innovative companies in a new book. Collective Genius: the Art and Practice of Leading Innovation, was published in 2014 and co-authored with Linda Hill, Emily Truelove and Kent Kineback.

Linda Hill, Harvard Business School professor, and Claudio Fernández-Aráoz, senior adviser at Egon Zehnder, on the talent strategies that set up a company for long-term success.

Markets After three days of losses, markets returned to positive territory on Wednesday, spurred on by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's comment that the Fed is prepared to do more to stimulate the economy if it falters. News Corporation added 58 cents after the beleaguered media giant announced it will abandon a bid for full control of a British satellite broadcaster. The Dow gained 45 points, closing at 12,492. The Nasdaq rose 15 points, ending at 2,797. And the S&P 500 gained four points, finishing at 1,318. Keeping an Eye on Debt NegotiationsStock portfolio managers say investors are keeping a close watch on Washington, and the halting negotiations over raising the debt ceiling.Jeffrey Cleveland, senior economist with the investment management firm Payden and Rygel, said investors and money managers expect the president and lawmakers will come to an agreement, but the debate isn't helping overall confidence."This does leave a cloud of uncertainty hanging over not just the market, but the economy," he said. "So there's this big question of what's going to happen next and I think that does make investors more hesitant than otherwise would be the case." Cleveland said everyone's focused on what could happen if the nation defaults on its debts, but few are talking about the long term economic effects from a deficit reduction deal. Creating a Better Relationship with Your Boss Unless you are a CEO or run your own business, you probably have a boss. If you're lucky, you enjoy working with your manager. But for many of us, the boss we have isn't necessarily the boss we want. Is there a way for you to have a better relationship with your boss?  Linda Hill, runs the Leadership Initiative at Harvard Business School, where she is also a professor. "Often we think we are supposed to be relatively passive in this relationship, and that the boss sort of tells us how the relationship would be," she said. "But unless the boss really understands what will allow you to be effective on your job, the boss may or may not come up with the right way of your working together." Hill offers some other tips on working together with your boss.
