Podcast appearances and mentions of ori brafman

Ever wondered why we sometimes act irrationally, even when it's not in our best interest? Ori Brafman has, and his answers are enlightening. Here, he talks about the hidden forces and human emotions that make us act irrationally, how pre-dispositions and labeling people can lead to irrationality, how we can become more rational, and more.

What happens when there's no one in charge? You'd think chaos would reign—but in reality, leaderless organizations are thriving, disrupting industries, and shaping the future. In this episode of 3 Takeaways, New York Times bestselling author Ori Brafman explains why decentralized networks—from Wikipedia to Bitcoin to social movements—are more resilient, adaptable, and powerful than we might expect.

She is one of the more interesting people I've met in the last couple of years, and so I wanted to just jump in. First of all, welcome, Lindsay. Lindsay Jones: Thank you. Thank you for having me. Jon Eckert: I want to start with a new question that I've never asked anybody, and I'm going to kick it off here, but I always think it's interesting since most of our listeners are educators to ground who you are in your first, last, best, worst experience in schools. So you spend a lot of time in schools and supporting schools. So what's your first memory, your last memory, your best memory, and your worst memory. So we'll do that by way of introduction. Take it away, Lindsay. Lindsay Jones: Wow. Okay, so you may have to help remind me of that order. Jon Eckert: Sure. Lindsay Jones: My first memory and a lot of my memories are going to center around my mom, who was an educator, a special educator for many, many years, special ed director. My first memory was when she came in and started... I was in a public school in Avon Lake, Ohio. I was in second grade, and she came in and started helping and teaching some extra content. And so it was a huge memory for me because she was there and it felt so special and I felt very special that my mom was there and I felt like I got a little viewpoint in the behind the scenes and that was exciting. So that was first. Best was eighth grade. I had a phenomenal history teacher, and I can still remember the project that I wrote, and it makes me now think of Universal Design for Learning. I had a lot of choice in the project. I wrote it on the history of vigilantism in the United States. It was part of American history and going west, and it's amazing to me. I remember so vividly. So many parts of that I don't remember, but I remember the paper. I remember some of the materials that we did and seeing a play about it and all of the ways that that teacher really brought it to life. So let's see, first, best, worst, and that, and last? Jon Eckert: Yes. Yeah, that's what you have left, worst and last. Lindsay Jones: Okay. Worst, I'll say two things. Being bored a lot. Not engaging, that's worst. Just feeling like I'm just going through the paces. But a really formative worst one for me is my mother, when I was in third through fifth grade, also living in Ohio, she was teaching in Lakewood, Ohio, and I was going to school near there and she was teaching in a self-contained preschool special ed program in a public school. And I can remember I would go there before school every day after school every day. I met all the students in that room. I was probably in third grade when I started going there. There were different multi-ages. And I then went, I had a day off at my school and like many other kids, my mom let me hang around her school that day. And with a teacher in regular ed at that time, general ed. This would've been a long time ago, the early '80s. And I can remember hanging around in a regular ed third grade classroom for the whole day and never seeing my mom's students, never seeing my mom, never seeing anyone with a disability. And that really struck me. Where are they? They are not here. They were not a part of that community. And I think that was a really formative experience that drives why I do the work I do today focused on inclusion. So that's probably also my worst because it wasn't ideal. It wasn't the way it should be, but it really, really formed me. So in some ways it's my best in many ways too, I guess. And then my last is law school. I went to law school. That was my last. Jon Eckert: That puts an imprint on you. Lindsay Jones: I practiced as an attorney for many years in Arizona. And my last schooling experience personally was law school. And it was a shock. It was like being dropped into an ice bath. But I loved it. Actually, I really learned a lot. It was such an interesting... The Socratic method itself has interesting parts to it. It can be really very engaging, but it's a challenging setting. Jon Eckert: Yes. Well, and I think one of the things that law school does that I've always admired is it teaches you how to think. And so I think there's some value in that. Now, the process of learning that can be pretty painful and you can get some tough professors who are maybe not that skilled at how to teach or how to make it accessible, but if you navigate through it, you come out with a set of skills that are pretty valuable. So it's pretty great. Well, hey, I actually enjoyed that because there's a lot of jumping off points there for what you do now. So you've already hit on what is normally my next question is what brought you to this work? So talk a little bit about what you do now, why you got out of the legal profession and into the work you're doing now based on some of the things that you experienced with your mother in schools and some of the other pieces that you've already discussed. Lindsay Jones: Yeah, so my mom, who, as I said, special ed teacher, local special ed director, all the things, special ed member of the Council for Exceptional Children, spoke, ended up working as a independent consultant, expert on ADHD, writing books and said to me always, "Don't become a teacher. Don't do it. Be a lawyer." And thinking now back on that, I think that was largely because she was a real activist as a person for inclusion, a real activist for social justice around disability and felt powerless sometimes with the limitations put on her position. So loved educators, was a model in my mind, a wonderful educator, a teacher's teacher, but just really felt like there were limits and she wanted to make a bigger difference. So I actually ultimately, did go to law school and thought, "I'm never getting into education. I'm staying out of the family business. What in the world?" But when I got my first job at a law firm, I happened to join a firm in Phoenix, Arizona that represented most of the school districts in the state. And I had sat my uncle and my aunt, also special educators, lifelong. I'd sat at so many tables listening to like IEP, behavior implementation plan, all of it, that I knew it. I knew those things. I don't even know how I knew those things. I never took an education law class. So I started though, being drawn into that work. I represented public school districts and I focused a lot on special education matters. I took lots of cases all the way, and I've been in three day IEP meetings and that was a challenging... I did the first 504 due process hearing in the state of Arizona because they just didn't really have those before the 2000s. And then I saw lots of the same problems over and over, and I thought, "Boy, I'd really like to work on these from a national level." And that drew me to go to work for the Council for Exceptional Children in DC where I live now. That is the organization of the professional learning association of special educators across the US. And that was a phenomenal experience. I worked there for four years. And then I decided to move to the National Center for Learning Disabilities, also working with parents and families, again, from a national role on legislation. And then I was so excited to be able to join CAST where I work today, a nonprofit organization that invented something called Universal Design for Learning, UDL. And it's a way for me to influence policy and try to make a difference in the way our laws are created, but also to, in a more real, tangible way, we work with educators in classrooms around the world. And we work with authors to push the field forward, and we have research that we're conducting. So it's just a deeper way to be able to work on inclusion and those issues. Jon Eckert: Such a great introduction. And I do have to say the three-day IEP meeting, I don't think I've been in a three-hour one. And those are painful. So the individualized education plan, great idea, but when they get down on paper or try to get them to paper, it's tough. I also have to say that what you do with UDL is so transformative all around the world. And so I know we were at an international convening where they were discussing the 250 million kids worldwide that don't have access to schools and how many people knew UDL and knew you in so many different countries. It was pretty powerful to see the people coming up and talking to you about how that we do this well because at the Center, we're all about supporting education leaders so that they can serve each student well. And that feels like the whole mission of UDL. How do we reach each kid? Not all kids, but each kid, because each kid comes to the learning differently. And that's the beauty of education I've been in for 29 years. I did not avoid education, but I didn't have a parent who was an educator. So who knows what would've happened if that would've been the... And I would say our work is infinitely interesting and always challenging because the only thing we know when we're standing in a classroom with a bunch of students is we're the only one that learns the way we do. And so that's where UDL is so powerful because it gives you principles for how to think through it. And you're vigilante project that you did in eighth grade had so many of the hallmarks of UDL. So I'd love for you to just dig a little bit deeper into some of the opportunities and challenges you see right now for UDL around the world and maybe particularly the United States as well, if you want to dive down there. Lindsay Jones: Sure. I would say around the world, the number one challenge really is some basic access, as you would know better than I do, Jon, but in terms of at the core of UDL is assistive technology that's started by nine Harvard neuroscientists, working with nine students with really significant cognitive disabilities and saying, "Maybe tech and being flexible... Maybe the person isn't broken, maybe it's the system." And in fact, they proved that's right. And now that system and some of the drawbacks of the system for people in different places around the world is probably the biggest challenge. The biggest opportunity though, I think especially in the United States right now is EdTech is throughout schools. It's overwhelming. It's almost too much in schools, but it does that same principle of it gives us more of an inherent understanding that we all use it differently. The way I use my iPhone or whatever my device is, is probably different than yours, and you don't judge me for that. I don't judge you. I don't even know how... And so that is a freeing thing that I think is a big opportunity. And UDL, it's a design thinking framework. It just helps you think, "How can I find barriers to leaning that I don't see?" And I think that tech is a way to help us make environments more flexible. It's not the only way, we don't need it, but it can make that environment more flexible and it can also reduce the stigma of difference. The stigma that I saw when I felt my mother's class was down a dark hall. They weren't included. They were very separate. Tech, we're all using it. And that's, I think, a great opportunity for us to think about universal design for learning and how we can create those environments that are flexible and dynamic and individualized. Jon Eckert: And I love the connection to design thinking because at the end of the day, that's using technology to humanize interaction. It's not replacing the human, it's accentuating the human connection we can make through it as we design solutions that move us all further forward. And that has to be individualized. So I still think, and I think this is potentially something that's really prevalent in US schools, people believe that struggle is a sign of weakness where in fact, struggle is part of learning. And learning is productive struggle. So everybody needs different tools to help them struggle well. And so I think particularly coming out of Covid, we've had this shift in that well-being is freedom from struggle, and that can't be the case. And what I love about UDL is it gets kids into that zone of proximal development where, here's what I can do on my own, here's what I can do with some assistive technology, here's what I can do with some choice, here's what I can do with a more advanced peer. There's all these places where there are these supports that come in that humanize the interaction. So that's where I'm most hopeful about UDL and where I see things going because we have more tools than we ever have. Now, if we just use those tools in this cast a wide net, throw at every kid, hopefully we catch every kid and you know kids are going to fall through the net, that's a problem. But where we have educators who are deployed with these tools to meet kids' needs, who are then allowing kids' choice, allowing kids opportunities to collaborate and making sure each kid is able to contribute, that's where I see things being hopeful. Do you have any of those kinds of stories where you're like, "Yeah, here I've seen UDL really make a difference in the lives of kids." Is there anything that jumps to mind? Lindsay Jones: Absolutely, and that's exactly what it is. So we just updated our guideline. Guidelines are a tool we use to help people implement it. There's just things to prompt your thinking about as design your environment. We updated them and the focus now is agency, learner agency. It's always been about what you just described. We know the kids are leaving school. And right now today, you and I probably are having to learn more about artificial intelligence than we ever... Maybe you knew a lot. I know nothing. So now I'm completely learning about it and I'm relying on all the ways I learned how to learn. And that is what we're trying to make sure those kids are learning so that when they leave, they know, "Oh, I feel confident. I may not know it. I'm going to struggle, but here's what I can do to learn it." That's the goal. That's learner agency. And so what I would say, there's a lot of great examples of that around, but one of the ones that I think really just resonates for me, there's a school here in the District of Columbia that we've been working with. They have a model UDL demonstration classroom, which they're showing to others, and they're bringing UDL throughout that school and hopefully through the other schools in the District of Columbia schools. And when you go in, there's a part of you, I think... I'm a parent. I'm not a teacher, as you know, I'm a parent though. And there's a part of me that I will say, I was like, "We're just going to let fifth graders make choices about what they want? I've had a fifth grader. That seems scary to me. I'm not sure. What is this going to look like?" And I went into this fifth grade classroom, and it is so interesting to see what and how that's really intentionally designed by those educators. Several different areas are happening in the room. And one of the things that stood out to me, Jon, is those kids in that room know if they're asked a question... I watched an interaction between a teacher and a student where the teacher asked the student a question about the material, and the student kept trying to answer it and was struggling. The teacher was not giving the answer. And then finally the student said, "Oh, I'm going to go to my resources. I'm going to go get... And they walked over to several different resources they had available, got the answer, came back so proud, so confident. And it was so painful for those moments of watching that child struggle, that teachers maybe call it "wait time." It is painful to sit there and watch that. You want to just say, "Lincoln, it's Abe Lincoln." But my God, when I saw that student be really actualized, find something, come back. And that is a very micro way of talking about what was a really complex interaction with some really skilled educators and just incredible kids, but it wasn't out of the norm, and it did more than one thing at once. It taught the student the answer, and it made that student engaged in a way of like, "I am proud. I did this." And that's good. We need that because it won't always be easy, so you got to draw on something. So yeah, I think there's a lot of examples like that that are exciting and empowering. Jon Eckert: Yeah, that's great. I love that example. And I love the idea that it's in a model classroom because I think for educators, they need to be able to see it happening. And we need educators who are doing this well to be able to spread their expertise. And so in our research, we find one of the most powerful predictors of how a school will improve is whether or not a lot of peer observation's happening. It's not evaluation or judgment, but it's learning from other educators who are doing this hard work and letting kids, requiring kids, giving them the opportunity to struggle because there's so much more joy in finding out it's Abraham Lincoln when you go with your own agency and find those in the sources than having someone else just tell you the answer. And that just breeds learned helplessness. Just like, "Hey, somebody's going to tell me anyway, so why would I have any agency in the first place?" The other thing I wanted to say, I teach a class in a half an hour. And so anytime I go in, even to my undergrad or grad classes that I'm teaching, when I am the least well prepared, I lecture. When I am the best prepared, it's this interactive engagement where student agency is part of it, and there's meaning. And I always pull in student responses from the night before. I always read the responses that come in by 10:00 PM and I put those in and I let that direct the class. But that takes a lot of time. And so it's just, if somehow that time hasn't been set aside, the class just isn't as good. I can manage it. I can control it. I did this as a fifth grade teacher, as a seventh grade science teacher. You can control it, but that's sometimes by boring kids into submission, which is what you mentioned. I mean, just because a class is quiet doesn't mean any learning's happening. And so that's not the goal. Now, obviously a class that's in chaos where kids aren't safe and all that, but those baselines have to be set up. But in that model classroom, I'm sure so much work has gone into how to help students make good choices, that I would 100% trust those kids to make good choices. And when they're not, you just say, "Hey, we're outside the parameters we set. Now, move back in". Is that an accurate read of that classroom or other model classrooms you see? Lindsay Jones: Yes. And I think your critical point is it's not about vertigo of possibility to students. It's about scaffolding. You start to make choices. You have a smaller number. What are they? You're learning about them, you're reflecting on them. I think that's really critical. You said that and you talked about it, and I just wanted to pull it out because yeah, that's right. That's right. Jon Eckert: I love that. Lindsay Jones: That classroom was fun. It was amazing. Yeah. Jon Eckert: Yeah. I love that. I never heard that. I've never heard that phrase vertigo of possibility. But yes, that sounds like anarchy, what we want. And I think kids feel safer where they know where the boundaries are, and then they know how to move, and then they scaffold and they build, and then they can do amazing stuff. And that's when teaching gets really fun because it's not about the teacher anymore, it's about the learner. And we're all learning together. So I always like to end with a lightning round. So I know you're super busy, so if you've taken time to read a book that you would recommend, it's got to be pretty good because busy people don't just read beach reads all the time. So is there a great book that you would recommend? It could be education related or not, but is there anything you've read in the last year that you would recommend to those listening? Lindsay Jones: It is. And it's called Radical Inclusion. And yeah, have you read it? Jon Eckert: I've heard of it. I have not read it yet, but it's been recommended to me already, but go ahead. Lindsay Jones: It's so interesting, and I'm so sorry, I have to follow up with the name of the author. He's an education minister in Sierra Leone. Jon Eckert: Wow. Lindsay Jones: And it is phenomenal. It is super interesting. It is well written. It's thought provoking. Yeah, he spoke actually, we saw- Jon Eckert: I was going to say he was at the convening. Yeah, he was on a panel. Yeah, so his name is Ori Brafman. Lindsay Jones: Thank you, yes. Jon Eckert: And it's What the Post-9/11 World Should Have Taught Us About Leadership. It came out in 2018. Is that it? Lindsay Jones: Yeah. Jon Eckert: Yeah? Lindsay Jones: Radical Inclusion. And it's about the way they're reframing in Sierra Leone, including individual... They're starting with everything in terms of radical inclusion, voting, everything. Jon Eckert: I love that. Lindsay Jones: People with disabilities and a barrier-free environments. Jon Eckert: Wow. That's beautiful. All right, so then what is the worst piece of advice you've ever given or received in your work? Lindsay Jones: Oh, my God, so many. Jon Eckert: I'm sorry. Lindsay Jones: I know, it's terrible. But I actually think one of the worst pieces of advice that I was ever given was that you could not be a parent and a full-time attorney. Jon Eckert: Oh, wow. Lindsay Jones: Or a full-time anything. Jon Eckert: Wow. Lindsay Jones: And that has not proven to be true. And it was a really bad piece of advice because it made me worry for years. And it was silly that I did that, so. Jon Eckert: Wow. All right, that's helpful. That's a helpful reframe of bad advice. What's the best piece of advice you've either given or received? Lindsay Jones: A wonderful attorney I worked with, the best piece of advice was, "Be bold." This amazing guy, Dick Siegel. And then my other favorite one is a Matisse quote, Henry Matisse the painter. I have it on my board over here. "Don't wait for inspiration. It comes while working." Jon Eckert: Well said. I love that. I did not know that Matisse quote, but that's a great add and obviously, you got to be bold to do the work, so those two reminders go well together. All right, so as we wrap up, what's your most hopeful perspective on where we're heading in education makes you most optimistic? Lindsay Jones: I am incredibly optimistic about inclusive education. I meet people every single day who want to make that happen. And they see, when they use Universal Design for Learning or whatever method they're using to make learning more inclusive, they get to something you just referred to, which I call the magic moments. They come up to me and tell me, "Oh, my God, this happened. I saw learning. I remembered why I went into teaching." That experience of watching someone really learn, learning with them, that I am so lucky because so many people share those types of things with me. And it just means I feel like I'm so hopeful I want to tell everyone about this and help them to be using it. Jon Eckert: Yeah, what a beautiful example. I think it's what gets educators up every morning. It's not the paycheck. It's going to be those magic moments. And once you've had a couple, they're addictive. You keep coming back for more. And that's a beautiful way to wrap up. Well, Lindsay, thank you for the great work you do at CAST, for UDL, for your leadership and just taking the time to be with us. Lindsay Jones: Yeah, thank you so much.

We are a "church without walls", but what is "church" anyway? Is it buildings, budgets, and boards? Is it programming and services? A 501c3? A denomination? A personality cult? A place to go be entertained (or not...)? Or maybe it's mystery and miracle... not a what... but a who with a high calling.

The team discusses the different tools we use day to day and how often we don't use them to their full potential and instead turn to something else. They talk about how problems and mistakes build up at corporations and no one does anything about it until it's too late and how we need to “stop licking the paw” and address the issues. The team also talks about the difference between a person who is good at analyzing vs someone who is good at strategizing.Story Time (04:15)Julie talked with a builder who said that their goal for 2024 wasn't to add a bunch of new tools but to figure out how to use what they have better.Andrew says you can't market town homes the same way you market single family homes. Beth has found a correlation between her dog who continues to lick his injured paw and people who know that something isn't working at a corporation but no one does anything about it.The News (15:39)The Perfect Fitting Hat (https://www.doyouconvert.com/blog/the-perfect-fitting-hat/)Google search antitrust trial updates: Everything you need to know (so far) (https://searchengineland.com/google-search-antirust-trial-hearing-updates)Townhome Construction Records Best Quarter For Starts Since 2007 (https://www.builderonline.com/data-analysis/townhome-construction-records-best-quarter-for-starts-since-2007)Effectiveness ignorance has left American marketing lagging behind the rest of the world (https://www.marketingweek.com/effectiveness-ignorance-american-marketing/)Taylor Morrison Unveils 2024 Design Trends and Home Aesthetics (https://newsroom.taylormorrison.com/2023-11-29-Taylor-Morrison-Unveils-2024-Design-Trends-and-Home-Aesthetics)Things We Love Things We Hate (41:45)Andrew is enjoying his new lamps in his office.Julie is loving Christmastime right now!Beth's favorite is “The Starfish and The Spider” by Ori Brafman and Rod Beckstrom but it might be “Radical Inclusion” by David Moinina Sengeh after she finishes it.Market Proof Marketing · Ep 315: Strategizer vs AnalyzerQuestions?

Niko Laamanen is the founder of Konsensus Network, a company that focuses on localising and distributing important literature about bitcoin, Austrian economics, and sovereignty. Niko recognised the importance of being able to convey the Bitcoin message into other languages, starting with the Finnish edition of The Bitcoin Standard which he and a small group of volunteers translated themselves. Since then the company has published over 60 books in dozens of languages.  We talk about the Konsensus Network's mission, and the way they operate as a decentralised organisation, and at a higher-level explore the idea of how a small group can affect powerful change.

Saya membahas buku Sway karya Ori Brafman. Buku ini membahas kenapa perilaku manusia suka gak ada logika? Tentu saja, semua orang mengaku kalau dirinya merupakan orang yang rasional. Tapi di beberapa kesempatan, mereka seringkali mengambil keputusan yang tidak rasional. Misalnya gini, kenapa kita sulit keluar dari hubungan percintaan yang toxic? Kenapa kita dengerin sebuah nasehat, hanya karena berasal dari seseorang yang penting atau kelihatan kredibel? Padahal nasehat yang sama kita juga dengarkan dari orang lain, tapi tidak kita pedulikan? Ini adalah contoh kecil dari sekian banyak perilaku irasional yang seringkali kita lakukan.

Ori Brafman is a teaching fellow at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business and a New York Times best-selling author. He has written a total of 5 books, namely the following: ‘Radical Inclusion,' ‘The Starfish and the Spider,' ‘Sway: The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior,' ‘Click: The Power of Instant Connections,' and ‘The Chaos Imperative.' Ori would be sharing with us all about two of his books, The Starfish and the Spider and Sway: The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior. Aside from that, he would also be sharing all about Fully Charged Institute and his work with Tom Rath. --------------------- Get the latest insights on the Future of Work, Leadership and employee experience through my daily newsletter at futureofworknewsletter.com  Let's connect on social!

Saya membahas buku Click karya Ori Brafman. Buku ini membahas apa yang membuat seseorang merasa terhubung dengan orang lain, pekerjaan, dan di setiap hal yang dilakukan. Kamu pasti pernah merasakan hal ini. Kamu bertemu orang baru di sebuah pesta atau di kantor, lalu kamu langsung merasa kecocokan dengan orang tersebut. Kecocokan di sini bukan hanya berarti romansa, tapi juga dalam hal pertemanan, menciptakan hal besar bersama-sama, dan sebagainya. Menariknya, perasaan click ini bisa membuat seseorang merasa lebih bahagia dan produktif. Pertanyaannya, apakah ada cara untuk menciptakan momen tersebut?

The Cognitive Crucible is a forum that presents different perspectives and emerging thought leadership related to the information environment. The opinions expressed by guests are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of or endorsement by the Information Professionals Association. During this episode, Ori Brafman discusses implications of the rise of decentralized organizations which is presented in his seminal book: The Starfish and the Spider. He then applies human network dynamics to leadership within organizations, like the United States Department of Defense. Our conversation also touches upon the importance of institutional trust, the military-civilian divide, human-ness, resilience, and shared values. Link to full show notes and resources https://information-professionals.org/episode/cognitive-crucible-episode-73 Guest Bio: Ori Brafman's recent bestselling book, Radical Inclusion: What the Post-9/11 World Should Have Taught Us About Leadership, co-authored with 18th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Martin Dempsey, argues that inclusion is no longer a “nice-to-have”, but a strategic imperative in today's rapidly changing world. His seminal work, The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations, is often cited by the U.S. military and blockchain technology companies alike. Its concepts have been utilized by Amazon, Google, Netflix, Facebook, Cisco Systems, the Association for Financial Professionals, and the Family Business Network.

He leads an intensive strategic broadening seminar between UC Berkeley and the U.S. Army and created a first-of-its-kind partnership between the Haas School of Business and the U.S. military's National Defense University.  Ori's media appearances include the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, CBS, MSNBC, Bloomberg TV, Fox News, ABC News, BBC, National Public Radio, CNBC, CNN, and C-SPAN.

Having just discussed the Business Case Necessity in the last podcast, this week the Brew Crew tackle the perfect follow up subject: the value and challenges of benefits planning and realisation. Jonathan, Sandra and guest Simon Harbisher (who approached AssistKD with the idea) discuss the importance of learning from successes and failures; the role of the business analyst as negotiator; POPIT; the danger of change resistance; the importance of communication and more. Make sure you listen out for the BA Brew's first guest cat, India (nicknamed Villanelle as she is apparently noisy, tiny and deadly). India made herself heard but was too shy to appear on camera. Participants: AssistKD's Jonathan Hunsley. With Sandra Leek, winner of the IIBA (UK) Business Analyst of the Year award 2014 and Simon Harbisher, Business Analyst at the People's Postcode Lottery. During the discussion Simon recommended the book Sway: The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior by Ori Brafman and Rom Brafman. Learn how to identify, manage and realise business benefits effectively with AssistKD's Benefits Planning and Realisation course.

A estrela do mar não tem uma cabeça, como a aranha. Ao invés disso ela funciona como uma rede descentralizada.  Para que a estrela do mar se mova, uma das pernas precisa "convencer" as demais de que o movimento é uma boa ideia.  Não existe nem mesmo um cérebro nesse animal, que toma decisões e veta ações.  Já a aranha se comporta de forma centralizada e se alguém arranca a sua cabeça, o animal morre. Ao contrário da estrela do mar, que se perder uma das pernas, outra nasce no lugar. Nesse episódio você vai descobrir que a Wikipedia, os Alcoólicos Anônimos, Bitcoin e a Al Qaeda são todas redes descentralizadas, são todas Estrelas-Do-Mar.

In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Chandler Vannoy are joined by Henry Kaestner. Kaestner is the co-founder of Bandwidth, managing principal at Sovereign's Capital, and co-author of Faith Driven Entrepreneur. They discuss the relationship between pastors and faith driven entrepreneurs and finding identity in Christ, not in entrepreneurship. BEST QUOTES "Casting and solving problems is a part of getting into this work that is done by God as His kingdom is advancing.""I think that faith-driven entrepreneurs are being used by God in the marketplace to really impact culture.""Now my biggest leadership challenge is how do I help to lead a movement that is not about me.""Your identity is as a beloved child of God. When God looks at you He doesn't see that Mark Zuckerberg type of character that you might want to be, He sees His son.""The balance that an entrepreneur has is: Am I faithful and obedient? Do I have a right understanding of my identity?""One of the marks of a faith-driven entrepreneur is to be faithful rather than willful.""I would tell my 20-year-old self, my 35-year-old self, my 51-year-old-self who just yesterday made decisions without just pausing for a second to ask God, 'Help me make sure that this is not of you, to just kill it.'"

In this episode, Ed is joined by Rob Wegner and Lance Ford, co-authors of the recent release The Starfish and the Spirit: Unleashing the Leadership Potential of Churches and Organizations, along with Alan Hirsch. As stated on Amazon, this book leverages "the metaphor Ori Brafman popularized in his NYT best-selling book, The Starfish and the Spider, Rob Wegner, Lance Ford, and Alan Hirsch show why the distributed structures of starfish organizations are uniquely fit to the church." Currently, Rob is one of the founders and directors of the Kansas City Underground, a mission agency and decentralized network of missionaries and microchurches in Kansas City. Lance is the co-founder of the Sentralized Conference in Kansas City.

This is one of the most productive podcast interviews in my short history of these attempts. Rob Wegner is a good friend and a super intellect. Better yet, he understands the way forward after the pandemic taught us all the fragility of church as we've known it since Constantine, and certainly the way it looked so long ago back in 2019.You'll laugh, and perhaps cry, through this interview.Cut the head off a spider and it dies - same result if you cut off a couple of legs.Cut two legs off a starfish and you get three starfish. Sever all five legs and you'll have six starfish. Every cell of the starfish has the ability to regenerate the entire animal. Cut the head off of the typical U.S. church and it dies or at least goes into a slump. We too often look more like spiders than the church Jesus planted. When the head of the church ascended to heaven he sent the Holy Spirit to live in each believer and every cluster where they gathered. When persecution dismembered the church it multiplied like parts of a starfish.Rob Wegner, Lance Ford and Alan Hirsch partnered, with the help of Ori Brafman who wrote the original Starfish and the Spider, to write this amazing challenge to us all to be more than we've imagined.Crucially appearing on the backside of COVID, even the timing of its release was God ordained--the book held up for two years with production delays. This book is perfect for leaders attempting to discern the way forward after the pandemic.For more, check the Kansas City Underground or scope out the book. Hosted on Acast.

"Let's not let those that brought humanity to this point of destruction get away with the injustices that it created."Kumi Naidoo is recognized internationally as a forceful advocate for human rights, gender equity, economic justice, and environmental justice. A seasoned activist in South Africa during its struggle against apartheid, his long career of deep commitment to people and the planet has included serving as Executive Director of Greenpeace International and as Secretary General of Amnesty International. Kumi’s current roles include Professor of Practice, Thunderbird School of Global Management at Arizona State University; Global Ambassador, Africans Rising for Justice, Peace and Dignity; Visiting Fellow, Oxford University, and Honorary Fellow, Magdalen College.Kumi shares his thoughts on What Could Possibly Go Right? including:That we need to reassess how we measure wealth as GDP, a broken system for measuring the value of people and work.That we suffer from affluenza, “an illness where we have come to believe that a meaningful, prosperous, decent, dignified life comes from more and more material acquisitions.” and that climate change “is fundamentally a problem of consumption and inequality”.That activism needs humility and to “listen more to people on the ground”. Instead of appealing to those in power, activists should support the powerless to speak for themselves, whose “voices bring an urgency that only those that suffer an injustice can bring, with the kind of eloquence, power and passion that makes it hard for the media, policymakers and those in power to ignore.”That we need more genuinely democratic systems across the world with a fair chance to run for office, instead of displaying only “the form of democracy without the substance of democracy”.That the analogy of the spider and the starfish shows the strength of decentralized versus centralized forms of organizing and mobilizing.That understanding the biggest contribution we can make to the cause of humanity is “not giving your life, but giving the rest of your life,” with perseverance, stamina, and courage to see those injustices dislodged.That it’s not good for mental health for us to see injustice and not express it and to bottle it up inside of us.That even “the pessimism of our analysis can be overcome by the optimism of our action”.

But where did it come from? Can you improve your personality? Professor Brian Little, author of the book, Who Are You, Really? The Surprising Puzzle of Personality (http://amzn.to/2vWHYm7) examines why you are who you are and how much of your personality is changeable and how much is set in stone.If you think someone is lying to you, there are a few words and phrases to look out for. Liars tend to use certain language that can help you determine if they are being truthful or not and I’ll tell you what to listen for to spot a liar. Source: You Can’t Lie To Me (https://amzn.to/3elH4an) by Janine DriverAlso, have you ever just clicked with someone? You know that feeling of instant connection? It can happen in a romantic way but also happens platonically and with people at work. Ori Brafman, author of the book Click (http://amzn.to/2vWATSC) has studied this phenomenon and believes strongly that these relationships are special. Ori says we shouldn’t just brush it off as “love at first sight.” Listen and understand why these relationships are worth exploring.This Week's Sponsors-Best Fiends.

Kansas City, Missouri recently made news by becoming the first major metropolitan area to announce plans to offer free bus service throughout the city. Coverage of this story has been mostly positive...but there have been critiques and warnings as well. Among the latter is “There’s no such thing as a free bus.” Writing last month in The Hill, Patrick Tuohey, director of the Better Cities Project, describes previous fare-free experiments in Austin and Denver that led to “overcrowded buses, disruptive passengers, and unhappy bus operators.” There are other concerns, says Tuohey, not least of which is that the money to pay for it isn’t there yet: The city’s next fiscal year does not begin until May 1, and the just-released budget proposal does not include enough money for fare-free buses. Kansas City’s free transit—and Tuohey’s article—are the subjects of today’s episode of Upzoned. Host Abby Kinney, an urban planner based in Kansas City, is joined by Chuck Marohn, founder and president of Strong Towns. Together, they discuss the promise and perils of “free” transit, the kinds of conversations (especially around equity and land use) this plan is spurring locally, and why the argument that we should subsidize transit because we’re already subsidizing cars doesn’t hold water. Then on the Downzoned, Chuck recommends The Chaos Imperative, a book about why businesses and organizations should create room for disruption, and Abby introduces the new website for Gould Evans Studio for City Design.

Each of these books has a running theme on how people structure their organizations, and how seemingly small factors affect very large decisions and important long term relationships.  [9:27] Ori saw very different cultures firsthand, going from Tel Aviv to El Paso, to Silicon Valley.  [11:03] When we choose to surround ourselves with people of all different viewpoints and perspectives, we get what Ori calls the “ping pong of ideas”, serving them back and forth to each other. Ori found the creative tension of picking writing partners with different views from his own helped make the content richer.  [20:23] The more distributed an organization is, the more powerful. People can organize around a common cause without having a top-down hierarchy, and can regenerate if one sector falls short.  [25:58] When we try to control too much as a leader, we miss out people making a difference by their own contribution.  [27:15] Radical inclusion is about creating a sense of belonging, and an attachment and understanding of the organization's narrative.  [34:58] Providing people with more organization in a structure isn’t always the answer. Often times, we need to look at things from a systems approach.  [38:58] Ori feels one of the best ways to fix the divide is to organize in a way where we have radical inclusion, be clear on who makes the decisions, and what the expected outcomes and consequences are in these human interactions. He started to bridge together UC Berkeley and the army with these very same principals.  [51:40] Great leaders energize people, and raise others up around them.    Quotable Quotes  “Hold your views lightly.”  “There will be atrophy in organization if it’s overly dependent on a single person.”  “Information does not change behavior.”  “It’s about the human interaction in the same room. I trust in that.”  “We can’t do it alone, we have to do it with each other.” “A leader's job is to improve the energy of those around them.”    Maxwell Air Force Base  Albert Einstein Medical Center  General Dempsey Drops Mic  Starfish Leadership  Fully Charged Institute  UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business  Vegan.org    LinkedIn | Website | Radical Inclusion | Amazon Author Page 

In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Daniel Im breakdown the leadership book Team of Teams by General Stanley McChrystal. In their conversation they discuss the following questions: What's the book and why does it matter? Overview of the book How applicable is the book to leadership in my church? What are things churches should ignore from the book? What can you do this week in light of the book? BEST QUOTES “How do you scale teamwork in an organization?" "Once you have people that are able to instinctively make the right decisions, it's all about adaptability to whatever it is their facing." "What posture did they approach the problem with?" "What would it look like for us to move from chess masters to gardeners?" "If your church listed their top 10 problems, the church down the street or across the world would list at least 7 of the same ones." "As your church grows, it becomes increasingly complex and it is very difficult to bring clarity to all the necessary pieces." "Think about leading via policy vs. leading via values and culture." "The higher you go in an organization the less decisions you should be making." "The person that is best able to solve the problem is the person that is closest to the problem." "What are ways you can build resilient leadership and resilient systems so you can adapt to the changes in our culture today?"

In this episode, we had a discussion with Ori Brafman about decentralization and how our brains respond to cash and cocaine. Ori is a multiple New York Times bestselling author and is the founder and president of Starfish Leadership as well as the co-founder of the Fully Charged Institute with Tom Rath. He is a Distinguished Teaching Fellow at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business and his specialties range from organizational culture, employee engagement, business transformation, leadership, to emerging technologies. More than many of our guests, our talk with Ori touched on a very wide range of topics. We rambled from from distributed trust, gaining power through ceding control in decentralized industries, making a new blockchain currency – called Groove Coins (which would be cool!) – to how being born in Israel and growing up in El Paso, Texas impacted his life, how communities and tribes impact us, how we do or do not imply intent, and to how we use technology, in many ways, is a huge behavioral science experiment. We also discussed a new podcast that Ori has launched with his brother Rom called “Psychological Mysteries” and how they’re attempting to wrap up some loose ends in the world of psychology. Sort of a fraternal myth-busters approach to solving some common misconceptions of our minds. Of course, we discussed music and how Ori’s love for serious music (classical and baroque) became evident at an early age, but he didn’t find enough traction to pursue it professionally. Ironically, he discovered some of his baroque heroes at Burning Man while EDM music (EDM = electronic dance music) played in the background. Burning Man, if you are not familiar, is an annual festival of sorts, that attracts nearly 80,000 people to a playa in the middle of the desert near Reno, Nevada in the western United States. Burning Man promotes principles such as radical inclusion, radical self-expression, radical self-reliance and gifting among their top 10. These make for a unique experience according to friends who have attended the week-long cultural experience. Our time with Ori passed quickly and was filled with lots and lots of laughter. We found that his intellectual rigor lifted us up with new ideas and fresh perspectives and we are grateful to have had a chat with him. In our grooving session, we started out discussing Richard Mowday’s book, Employee – Organization Linkages: The Psychology of Commitment, Absenteeism, and Turnover, published by Academic Press in 1982.  We also discussed the Psychometrics of Decentralization, from an article in Psychology Today, from June 14, 2018 and some of Rachel Botsman’s interesting work on trust.

We recently had the opportunity to speak with Ori Brafman author of The Starfish and the Spider and lecturer at UC Berkeley’s business school.  The book has been a big influence on the new wave of blockchain businesses inspired by the unique differentiators a decentralized organizational structure can offer. The name of the Starfish Mission, where we recorded our conversation is even inspired by his book, which is a collaborative workspace for SF based companies in the blockchain space. When Ori wrote The Starfish and The Spider in 2006, he wrote it as a metaphor for business decentralization, meaning an organization without a top-down structure. If you liken a traditional corporate structure to a spider, if the head is chopped off - the organization like a spider will die. A starfish, however (or decentralized organization) does not die if one of its arms is chopped off, as it has no head and can regenerate, its arm will simply grow back.

What are the limits of decentralization? How can we conceptualize inclusion in a manner that transcends the partisan divide? Is Burning Man a modern church? Ori Brafman and I discuss these questions and more in this episode. Video: https://youtu.be/yBE_9Xm_jIs Support C2 on Patreon: https://patreon.com/catcoherence
