Podcasts about people generate great ideas

As we head into year 2 of the COVID-19 pandemic, most knowledge workers are still working from home. You may be listening to this from your home office or kitchen table desk. But before working from home became semi mandatory for health and safety reasons, many companies were very resistant to the idea of distributed and remote work. David Burkus is an associate professor of leadership and innovation at Oral Roberts University and an author. His many books include Friend of a Friend: Understanding the Hidden Networks That Can Transform Your Life and Your Career, Pick A Fight: How Great Teams Find A Purpose Worth Rallying Around, and the very timely Leading From Anywhere: The Essential Guide to Managing Remote Teams.In this opportune episode, Greg & David discuss how productivity changes while working from home, the science behind meetings, building boundaries in your new work schedule and creating a shared sense of purpose within teams, even when they are not in person.Episode Quotes:Measuring productivity in knowledge work:It is really hard to measure performance in knowledge work, especially day to day. It's really hard to know all of those people sitting at their desks, on the computer, are they being productive or not? And in the absence of that, a lot of managers, the lazier ones if we're being honest, will just flip and say, okay, well, when did they come in? When did they leave this? This person's gotta be productive because they're always staying late to get extra work done.On remote leadership:Hopefully now we've realized that presence doesn't equal productivity. There's better work to be done to measure and track that. But I really feel like there's a lot of people that even 14 months into this really just feel like it's still the truth and can't wait to get back. And I feel sorry for those people, because a lot of their most talented people do not agree with them. The question I'm asked most often over the last year is when are we going back to the office? And the answer I give them is, we're not. At least not all of us and not all of the time. And so you better get ready to lead in that context. Creating a rule book for communication:Start with a working agreement, social contract. When I'm feeling particularly feisty, I sometimes refer to it as the declaration of interdependence for your team. We have to work together, so we're going to have to find a way to work together, right? And breaking down what is asynchronous versus synchronous communication is a part of that, but it's broader. It's all of those little unanswered questions. Where a lot of friction and where a lot of conflict on a team happens is when somebody assumes a norm that isn't actually what other people assume. It's when somebody sends an email and no one responds in the first 12 hours, and then they get angry when everybody else is going “well, I have a day. Like you sent me it via email, therefore I have 24 to 48 hours to respond”. Right? Those are things we actually need to flesh out. So what I encourage a lot of team leaders to do is make that list of questions about stuff we haven't resolved.Show Links:Guest Profile:David Burkus' WebsiteDavid Burkus on LinkedinDavid Burkus on InstagramDavid Burkus on YoutubeDavid Burkus on TEDXUniversityOfNevedaHis work:Leading From Anywhere: The Essential Guide to Managing Remote TeamsPick a Fight: How Great Teams Find a Purpose Worth Rallying AroundFriend Of A Friend: Understanding the Hidden Networks That Can Transform Your Life and Your CareerUnder New Management: How Leading Organizations Are Upending Business as UsualThe Myths of Creativity: The Truth About How Innovative Companies and People Generate Great Ideas

Management theory for today with Dr. David Burkus Management theory – as most know it – originated in the industrial era. Back then, a distinct dividing line separated the thinkers (managers) from the doers (labor). Dr. David Burkus tells me in this episode that even as the industrial system has largely been supplanted by more and more creative jobs, management theory has stayed too constant. That means you've probably been inappropriately handling management theory in your own business. David is a bestselling author, award-winning podcaster, and associate professor of management at Oral Roberts University. In 2015, the world's premier ranking of management thinkers – Thinkers50 – named him one of the emerging thought leaders most likely to shape the future of business. He says the “org chart” of traditional management theory worked well in the early days of industry because it pushed information from the thinkers to the doers. It also created silos around each management group. But everything's changed since then, and David says it's time to plant some explosives on the silos. The most mundane, thoughtless work has largely been outsourced or automated, leaving a knowledge economy with only creative work left. That requires creative management theory. “The best teams are actually temporary; they disband after each project.” @davidburkus via @RustyLionAcad Click play in the player below to hear David talk with me about why, along with quite a few other meaningful things to today's businessman. Listen to this episode to hear me speak with Dr. David Burkus about management theory for today and more: Why team members, not managers, shouldn't make hires. The need for policies that inspire employee autonomy. Why an employee can look stellar on paper, but underperform in real life. How a growth mindset can be born in failure. The reason shortcuts to success don't work. Why you might want to avoid the J-O-B word and just work toward your goals instead. The realization that switched David's career track from one like famed author Ernest Hemingway's to one like marketing writer Daniel Pink's.

If coming up with a brilliant idea is hard, getting people to agree with you can prove just as difficult.  "We operate under this assumption that the world will magically see how great our idea is, but great ideas get rejected all the time," said David Burkus, author of The Myths of Creativity: The Truth About How Innovative Companies and People Generate Great Ideas.  Burkus, who also teaches creativity and innovation courses at Oral Roberts University, spoke to Money Talking host Charlie Herman about how to recognize and pitch great ideas. He suggested a five criteria checklist for structuring a pitch or judging which idea to invest time in. 1. Relative advantage: Ask yourself if your idea has an easy to see advantage over an existing product or process. "That’s the thing that gets people excited even when it’s our idea," Burkus said. 2. Compatibility: How much  does your idea build off something people already know? If there's a huge cost to trying it because it’s a totally new thing, then people won't give it a shot. But if it's seen as the next step in a process people are already familiar with, then you have a chance.  3. Complexity: "If you have to explain the punchline of a joke, it’s not funny," Burkus said. Same goes for your idea. If people can't understand it, they won't buy into it. 4. Trialability: How low is the bar  to trying your idea? "If there’s a steep cost involved in somebody adopting or it testing it, then it’s less likely [to] see the light of day," Burkus said. 5. Observability: How easy is it to see the results from people who've tried your idea out? "That’s why there’s a before-and-after shot on fitness products," Burkus said. People are more inclined to try something that's worked for someone else. Extra advice: Think of your idea as a prototype. Burkus said the biggest harm you can do to yourself is thinking your idea has to be implemented 100 percent as you initially conceived it. "Let your idea change as other people get a hold of it," he said. For more, check out Burkus’ article on pitching your "crazy" ideas for the Harvard Business Review.
