It's time for guests with gifts as Bobby and Bridge take a short break. This week we've invited back the inimitable Wendy Faux to the show. Wendy is a Military veteran and reservist, an artistic innovator, the curator of "Not just a Wife" photography exhibition and the creator of the show's logo. She loves the concept of bringing your true self to your leadership but hates the title "authentic" and she chats with Bridge about why differences are so important. She audaciously suggests that Matthew Syed could challenge Saint Simon Sinek to the top leadership spot with his book 'Rebel Ideas' and is totally to blame for Bridge's bad language in the episode.LinksNot just a wifeRebel Ideas Matthew SyedSaint Simon SinekThe Bren!MTALJ Being your authentic self

Why do groups of the smartest people make dumb decisions?The Bay of Pigs invasion. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. Blair and Bush's war on Iraq.Every day in smaller ways groups make terrible decisions because of groupthink.Yet the increasing complexity of the world shows that collective intelligence is key. Overwhelmingly, science, business and social breakthroughs happen through teams. Individual brilliance is no longer enough.Rebel Ideas by Matthew Syed shows how teams get it wrong. People not speaking up. The people who could see the flaws not being in the room. The unconscious biases that mean we don't know what we're missing.If you lead or are part of a team, it's a must read.Here's our Book Club discussion with:Eduardo Dos Santos SilvaNeil HamiltonMichael Ward

In this episode Gemma is talking to special guest Jo Bamford.We talk about the dynamics of workplace conflict and ways to embrace diverse perspectives which can lead to better outcomes. By inviting challenge, conflict can drive innovation, by prompting us to consider alternative viewpoints and solutions.Staying actively curious and active listening are essential tools for overcoming conflict avoidance and promoting constructive dialogue.A key highlight from our discussion is the insight drawn from Matthew Syed's book 'Rebel Ideas', particularly the chapter on Rebels vs Clones. Syed advocates for seeking out individuals who challenge the status quo, as their perspectives often lead to more innovative outcomes.We also stress the importance of expecting positive outcomes when addressing conflicts, reframing them as opportunities for growth and learning. And we explore the concept of viewing fear as excitement, shifting our mindset towards conflict as a pathway to innovation and strategic success.Our Tips for Overcoming Conflict Avoidance include: Recognise that conflict isn't inherently negative – it's healthy and necessary (with the right approach)Acknowledge that it's natural to have different perspectives – give yourself permission to disagreeInvite challenge, and then...Focus on listening and understanding the other person's perspective.Aim for a third, better outcome rather than ‘winning the argument'Avoid procrastination.Reframe your approach to conflict as an opportunity to explore differences and reach better outcomes.About Jo Bamford:Jo is an Occupational Psychologist with 30+ years of experience and an even bigger bucket of passion about maximising potential, raising performance, removing obstacles and enabling people and organisations achieve outcomes that are extra ordinary. Her company Bacon6 create bespoke solutions to support people, teams and the wider business to achieve ambitions around growth, change, culture and leadership.

Diversity wird häufig missverstanden. In dieser Folge möchte ich dieses (wichtige, aber meist emotional aufgeladene) Thema aufräumen. Ich kläre, was "Diversity" wirklich bedeutet, warum vielfältige Teams (oftmals) bessere Entscheidungen treffen und warum Diversität am Arbeitsplatz für den Erfolg eines Unternehmens entscheidend sein kann. Wenn du in deinem Team (oder Unternehmen) blinde Flecken vermeiden möchtest, dann ist diese Folge für dich. Viel Spaß beim Hören.

We tend to surround ourselves with people we identify with, in appearance, beliefs and perspective. This subconscious habit, known as homophily, occurs because it's validating to have our own ideas reflected back to us by the people around us, whether it's friends, family or colleagues. But the truth is that homophily significantly inhibits the success of a team.It was a treat to get to discuss Matthew Syed's brilliant book with James Thambyrajah and to think about why it's so relevant to us in healthcare working in a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) environment so much of the time

If the British Army is as serious about cognitive diversity as it claims to be, it almost certainly needs to delve much deeper into what it understands by diversity and diversity of thought.

This week's conversation was prompted by a thought-provoking article entitled Could The New Hybrid Workplace Turn Some Women Into Second-Class Employees?   As the statistics make for a worrying read, we ask: What are organisations doing to support people who choose to work from home? How can we ensure unconscious bias doesn't adversely impact those who are ‘out of sight'? What can business leaders and communicators do to make sure that women and underrepresented people are not further excluded from opportunities?   We discuss the responsibility of individuals to ‘show up' and be visible. There's heated debate around knowing how and when to nurture people. Plus agreement to scrap D&I policies, and that “designing for the minority will benefit the majority” to make work a very different place.   Please continue the conversation, share your thoughts and ideas by connecting via Twitter, Instagram or LinkedIn.   And finally, for regular news updates and details on our Coaching Retreat, subscribe to our newsletter here.   During this episode we refer to the following resources: Could The New Hybrid Workplace Turn Some Women Into Second-Class Employees? article in Forbes https://www.forbes.com/sites/nazbeheshti/2022/01/20/could-the-new-hybrid-workplace-turn-some-women-into-second-class-employees/?sh=2611348312ff Podcast S4 E1 on remote and hybrid working: Why ice cream and yoga won‘t improve your culture https://calmedgedrebels.com/why-ice-cream-and-yoga-wont-improve-your-culture/ Podcast S4 E12 Future trends for 2022 https://calmedgedrebels.com/future-trends-for-2022/ The pandemic revolution by Redefining Communications https://redefiningcomms.com/the-pandemic-revolution-hybrid-working/ Blog: Make networking work for you https://calmedgedrebels.com/make-networking-work-for-you/ Remotely Interested research into deskless workers https://redefiningcomms.com/dont-invade-the-canteen/ The Great Indoors by Emily Anthe http://emilyanthes.com/thegreatindoors/ Podcast S4 E8: How thinking differently can create belonging https://calmedgedrebels.com/how-thinking-differently-can-create-belonging/ Rebel Ideas by Matthew Syed https://www.matthewsyed.co.uk/resource/rebel-ideas-the-power-of-diverse-thinking/ Inclusion on Purpose by Ruchika Tulshyan https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/inclusion-purpose Blog: Thinking differently about hybrid working https://calmedgedrebels.com/thinking-differently-about-hybrid-working/

A first for this podcast, Pilar has a conversation with a guest! It was recorded a while ago, but like all the Management Café episodes, the content is evergreen, so we hope you'll enjoy hearing from Anish HIndocha. This episode is brought to you by Virtual not Distant, where we help leaders and managers of remote teams. https://www.virtualnotdistant.com/ Anish Hindocha is a “lean consultant, with a slight bent towards culture transformation” Lean thinking takes the lean principles developed by Toyota, outside of the production industry, from how you orientate a strategy to how teams problem-solve. Lean turns the traditional hierarchical organisation on its head, asking who knows most about where the organisations problems are. (It's the people doing the work!) and has trust and team work at its core. Is it about adopting a certain mindset? Lean organisations are usually learning organisations. What are some of the principles we can adapt as managers? We can look at the principles, eg. define value from the point of view of the customer. Then we begin to challenge what we're doing, looking for “waste” and making tiny improvements to our process. At a time when many teams and organisations are designing a new way of working, adopting some of these principles can save us time and energy in the future. Embracing lean needs a growth mindset, not hiding from problems and mistakes, and noticing them to spot opportunities for opportunities. It needs to be ok to spot and flag mistakes, and addressing mistakes become a way of embracing the learning journey. Anish tells the story of a department who'd never had half an hour with the business director (four layers up) before he organised a meeting with them. It was an eye opener for him, hearing some of the problems and solutions they were raising directly from them, which he'd never heard before. The push for sustainability and purpose-led organisations could be the future of where lean thinking goes. After all, lean is about connecting people, process and purpose. For more on lean thinking read The Machine that Changed the World by Womack, Jones and Roos and Black Box Thinking by Matthew Syed, which is not about lean, but about learning from mistakes.

To solve a complex problem, should we ask a single genius or tap into our networks? It's a question that's answered by Matthew Syed in his book Rebel Ideas: The power of diverse thinking.  In this episode, Nahdia, Owen, Ross G and Gemma gather to contemplate the book. We discuss: what rebel ideas are diversity and its benefits (and what we lose when we don't have it) practical ways to harness collective intelligence. Show notes In WILTW, Owen shared his finding of an animated introduction to machine learning. You can experience this visual explanation here: http://www.r2d3.us/visual-intro-to-machine-learning-part-1/ Ross mentioned watching the documentary The Beatles: Get back.

In December 2017, a statistic showed that 43% of 'Fortune 500' company founders were from an immigrant background. In the top 35 companies, immigrant backgrounds accounted for 57% of founders. Why do people from immigrant backgrounds have such outstanding business success? This is because the experience gained from immigration matters. By crossing borders, they become exposed and accustomed to adapting to a variety of cultures. This not only makes them open-minded to new things but also highly capable of examining and breaking down conventions while also responding well to changes and challenges. This ability to understand and question the status quo is the key to innovation and creation

Consider this… Accepted ‘best practice' is only the ‘best so far'. In his book Rebel Ideas, Matthew Syed discusses what we accept as ‘best practice'... It makes sense that if there's a way of doing things that proves superior, that everyone should adopt it. But it's important to also realise that the accepted best practice is only the ‘best so far'. If an alternative method is proven to deliver superior results, then the status quo (best practice) should be amended. Best practice should evolve through time in a rational, evidence based way. For me, this is clearly reflected in Muay Thai training… We should balance the proven aspects of traditional Muay Thai training, with the proven aspects of athletic performance research...

"All we can really do is make decisions that are right for us in this moment. This, to me, is listening to your intuition." Hot girl summer is all about being yourself and not giving a damn about what anyone has to say about it. But why should we restrict this to summer? When the summer energy runs out and our day-to-day lives become busier again, surely this is the most important time to be ourselves? In S6E7 Lucy chats about why the hot girl summer mindset is something we should all aim for all year round, what is actually means to 'be yourself' and 5 tips to carry the good vibes forward beyond the summer. If you're prone to comparison, negative self-talk, feeling guilty or saying no to things you want to do out of fear, then this is a must-listen. --- Things mentioned in this episode: Rebel Ideas by Matthew Syed UnJaded Jade's video on 'How to find your core values' (watch here) --- If you found something of value then share your thoughts via @spacetolearnpodcast or send this episode to a friend who might also love the pod!

In episode 5 of The Talent Intelligence Podcast, we sit down with Ida Matthieson, Head of Talent Acquisition at HBK. Ida has had an interesting first year in her HBK career, joining the business just as the pandemic hit and quickly moving up the ranks while never meeting most of her co-workers (sound familiar anyone?) While she's been working on a holistic approach to HBK's talent strategy, Ida has also brought her passion for DE&I to the fore, an interesting challenge in the male dominated industry they operate in. Ida has been an instrumental part of a team that has pushed for diversity not only internally but from the business's suppliers and partners. In this episode we discuss the impact of the pandemic on remote teams, how a fast-moving market has made talent departments more agile, what the future of diversity looks like, and much more. And if that doesn't peak your interest, tune in to hear about Ida's mad dash from London to Denmark, leaving all of her belongings behind in the process - she's not a fugitive, we swear. For those of you who want to check out Rebel Ideas by Matthew Syed that Ida mentions, it's available here. 

Kevin Plank, Under Armour, Rebel Ideas and Starting A Business at 40plus So often when we hear of budding entrepreneurs, and we have profiled quite a few over the years, we usually think of young go getters with new ideas and masses of energy who embark on a focussed journey to success. But is setting up a business at a young age a sure-fire route to success or is there something to be said for gathering experience and knowledge first? Online publication, Inc.com featured an article which suggests that older can sometime be better. A study of 2.7million business start ups threw out some interesting data which turns the ‘start early' idea on its head. It's an interesting article and certainly food for thought. Former Olympic table tennis player Matthew Syed has turned his hand to writing in recent years and we have talked about his book Black Box Thinking in the past however, his latest offering is encouraging us to think differently. Rebel Ideas, The Power Of Thinking Differently explores some of the reason why man makes mistakes, sometimes with world changing consequence, and he uses the art of storytelling to help us understand the points he makes. His live virtual book launch at the start of Covid 19 provides an insight into the way he thinks and demonstrates to us the many reasons why his book is worth reading. Since Heather heavily invested in sports clothing company Under Armour via Revolut she's been keeping a close eye on billionaire founder Kevin Plank in the hope that some of his luck might rub off on her significant investments. Plank set up the clothing giant almost by accident and it has literally taken over as one of the most sought after brands for stylish exercise. Even if you aren't familiar with the brand you will know it if you see the logo. Planks story is an interesting one and could probably be put in the young entrepreneur category we discussed earlier.

"We need to master the art of personal reinvention." -- Matthew Syed in Rebel Ideas Happy Pride Month! This week, Lucy's having a chat about all the different ways we can choose to identify ourselves, the ways in which identity is useful and the ways it's not. Sometimes we can feel like we owe it to people to live up to their ideas of who we are, but really it's up to us how we want to be seen. Change is so inevitable too - our lives change all the time, so it's natural that parts of our identity change over our lives as well - once we realise that we're free to define ourselves however we like and stop restricting ourselves with labels that no longer fit with who we are, we're free to do so much more than we might have thought possible.

We welcome LCP's Nikki Matthews to discuss decision making in the investment world. We discuss: - Nikki's Vista article  - Are investors fundamentally decision makers? - Decision making is often influenced by circumstances and those around us. - It's easy to slip into a role. - (Listen to the podcast that Dan references several times with Jeff Housenbold from the Vision Fund). -We're forming a story in our head whenever we meet someone. - - Subconsciously, we are forming a view and looking for information that you're right (this is known as confirmation bias). - It's important to move away from having to be right so you can be more open. - We're always very limited in our information both on decisions and on people? Don't forget that moods influence decisions and we don't have visibility of how others are feeling. - Best time to make decisions: before, after lunch? It could influence things more than you think. - Evening out decisions during the day could help and not trying to make a lot of decisions toward the end. - Perspective – this matters hugely, our perspective influences us more than we know. There are ways of combatting such as looking for diversity, demographic diversity, background diversity. - Listen to our podcast reviewing Mathew Syed's book Rebel Ideas here. - Your own experiences make up only 0.0001% of what's happened but probably 80% of the way you think the world works. - Information asymmetry – there's always hidden information in a decision and it's impossible to know everything that other people around the table know. One thing to take away Assessing how you make decisions can add a lot of value. Ask yourself: is your decision making body diverse, are you seeing (enough) challenge? Do you always seem to make consensus decisions? Do you record your decisions?

Podcast: Many Minds (LS 37 · TOP 2.5% )Episode: Culture, innovation, and the collective brainRelease date: 2021-02-03Greetings friends and happy February! Today's episode is a conversation with Dr. Michael Muthukrishna, an Associate Professor of Economic Psychology at the London School of Economics. Michael's research takes on a suite of topics that all start from a single big question: Why are we so different from other animals? Part of the answer has to do with our neural hardware. There's no question we've got big brains—and Michael has some cool things to say about why they may have gotten so big. But Michael is just as focused on our cultural software—the tools and ideas we develop, tweak, share, and accumulate over time. You might say he's more impressed by our collective brains than by our individual brains. To study all this, Michael builds formal theories and computational models; he runs experiments; and he constructs and analyzes huge databases. We cover a lot of ground in this episode. We talk about the finding that the size and interconnectedness of a social group affects the cultural skills that group can develop and maintain. We consider what actually powers innovation (hint: it's not lone geniuses). We discuss how diversity is a bit double-edged and why psychology needs to become a historical science. And that, my friends, is hardly all—we also touch on cetaceans, religious history, and spinning plates. I've been hoping to have Michael on the show for months now. His work is deeply theoretical, advancing the basic science of what it means to be human. But it's also engaged with important practical issues—issues like corruption and cultural diversity. Without further ado, here's my conversation with Dr. Michael Muthukrishna. Enjoy! A transcript of this show is available here.   Notes and links 4:30 - An introduction to “dual inheritance theory.” 11:00 - A 2013 paper by Dr. Muthukrishna and colleagues about the relationship between sociality and cultural complexity. 12:15 - A paper on the loss of cultural tools and traditions in the Tasmanian case. 21:20 – A 2016 paper by Dr. Muthukrishna and Joseph Henrich on innovation and the collective brain. 28:30 - The original paper on the notion of cultural “tightness” and “looseness.” 30:20 - A recent short piece by Dr. Muthukrishna on the paradox of diversity. 34:50 - A 2019 popular piece of mine on the phenomenon of “global WEIRDing.” 40:27 - The so-called Flynn Effect refers to the puzzling rise of IQ scores over time. It is named after James Flynn, who died only weeks ago. 42:30 - A paper about the significance of Luria's work on abstract reasoning in Uzbekistan. 50:26 - A paper on the “cultural brain hypothesis,” the subject of Dr. Muthukrishna's dissertation. 51:00 - A paper on brains as fundamentally “expensive.” 58:00 - Boyd & Richardson, mentioned here, have authored a number of highly influential books.
