What does it mean to empower your team to make good decisions? Chris Seifert tells Kevin that empowerment is more than a buzzword, it requires leaders to build both the competence and confidence of their team. Chris shares his decision-making framework designed to address two critical organizational issues: poor root cause analysis and ineffective decision-making in complex environments. Through real-world examples, Chris reveals how clear "decision rights" can transform organizations, empowering teams while enabling leaders to focus on strategic priorities. He also shares that it's important to document the decision-making process to prevent hindsight bias or the curse of knowledge.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are two much-heralded technologies set to revolutionise signals intelligence collection, processing and dissemination. An increasingly congested radio spectrum is set to challenge the limits of human cognition in the search for the signal of interest. In this episode of Radioflash! we catch up with Patrick ‘Krown' Killingsworth, EpiSci's  director of autonomy projects. We define the terms Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) and their unique capabilities. ML algorithms are trained on huge amounts of data which makes these algorithms great for processing huge amounts of data, a key requirement in Signals Intelligence (SIGINT). The application of AI and ML in SIGINT is not necessarily about replacing the human but helping the SIGINT operator sort these data. Nonetheless, the continuing introduction of AI and ML into SIGINT analysis prompts concern and enthusiasm in equal measure. Ensuring that enough data are available for training algorithms creates challenges given the paucity of data which the SIGINT cadre may be interested in. We talk about the risks of using synthetic data for training and tackling the risk by anticipating potential problems from the start. AI- and ML-enabled SIGINT systems continue to get smarter, faster and more accurate. The future brings challenges in terms of moving this SIGINT technology from the strategic level to the tactical edge, although edge computing in the tactical domain should help no end in this regard.

We had the pleasure of hosting Professor Art Markman on the Spirit of EQ podcast. We had an insightful conversation on psychology, decision-making, and the importance of mental wellness. Here are three key takeaways from our episode:1️⃣ "It depends" is the answer to many complex questions in psychology. Our decision-making process is heavily influenced by our motivational system, and whether it's beneficial or not depends on whether our current motivation is aligned with making the best choice.2️⃣ Emotions play a crucial role in decision-making, especially when it involves understanding people and complex situations. However, when reliable data and projections are available, relying on emotions may not be necessary.3️⃣ Mental health should be prioritized alongside physical health. We need to promote routine practices that support mental well-being, just like we do for maintaining physical health. Exercise, reframing perspectives, and building strong personal relationships are essential in achieving overall wellness.Art is the Annabelle Iron Worsham Centennial Professor of Psychology, Marketing, and Human Dimensions of Organization and Vice Provost for Academic Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin.

This week in the podcast, Sue reports back from a two-day seminar about property investment with the news that, yes, more apartments are going to be built in Australia and yes, some people are worried that there simply won't be enough skilled labour or materials to get it done as quickly as we all want and need.However, there is some innovative thinking, whether it's about how to deal with Nimbyism – bribe the buggers with tax breaks, says Yellow Brick Road boss Mark Bouris – or allowing “mum and dad” investors to put money directly into build-to-rent projects without having the hassle of managing tenants and property.There's a push to promote “Fonzi Flats” to make use of the space above garages and storerooms, not to mention empty basements and other unused areas in existing homes.And there's the OCN's Strata Matters conference where both Jimmy and Sue will be wrangling speakers and making sure you, our listeners, have your questions answered and your concerns aired.That's all on this week's Flat Chat Wrap. ____________________________________________________Flat Chat is all about apartment living, especially in Australia.Find us on Facebook and Twitter and the Flat Chat website.Send comments and questions to mail@flatchat.com.au.Register to ask and answer questions about apartment living anonymously on the website.Recorded by Jimmy Thomson & Sue Williams; Transcribed by Otter.ai; Transcription tidied up and sensified by Raphie.Find out more about Sue Williams and Jimmy Thomson on their websites.

As a tornado went through Kentucky, a grandmother of a 15-month-old and 3-month-old saved her grandbabies' lives by putting them in the bathtub for safety.  She laid her two grandchildren in the bathtub with blankets, pillows, and a bible. She prayed over them as rumbling from the tornado shook her house. The tornado was so close, it actually tore her house apart and lifted the babies out with it.  Miraculously, the two babies landed back on the ground with the bathtub over their heads. The pillows and blankets protected them and they were left completely unharmed.  Grandma's smart thinking saved their lives.  Read more about the story here.

Richard E. Nisbett has spent his career studying how people think. He is an emeritus professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan, and his research has influenced how psychologists think about reasoning, introspection, culture, and intelligence. He has written several important books over his career, including The Geography of Thought: How Asians and Westerners Think Differently…and Why and Mindware: Tools for Smart Thinking.His newest book is Thinking: A Memoir.In this episode, Nisbett shares samples of his work relating to our inability to know the inner workings of our own minds, whether we can call various cognitive biases “errors” in reasoning, and how culture shapes the way we interact with the world.Some things that come up in this episode:Nisbett's favorite study: Norman R. F. Maier's finding that people fail to understand where their insights come from (Maier, 1931)The classic set of studies by Richard Nisbett and Tim Wilson on our failure to introspect on cognitive processes (Nisbett & Wilson, 1977)The study where a goat entered a classroom (but that was really about intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation; Lepper, Greene, & Nisbett, 1973)Nisbett's work on errors in reasoning (Nisbett & Ross, 1980; Nisbett, 1992)Early work by Hazel Markus and Shinobu Kitayama on the effects of culture on how we think about ourselves (Markus & Kitayama, 1991; also see Markus' book Clash!)The “Culture of Honor” (Nisbett, 1996)Cross-cultural differences in analytic versus holistic thinking (see Nibsett's Geography of Thought for a summary)For a transcript of this episode, visit: http://opinionsciencepodcast.com/episode/thinking-with-richard-nisbett/---------------Check out my new audio course on Knowable: "The Science of Persuasion."Learn more about Opinion Science at http://opinionsciencepodcast.com/ and follow @OpinionSciPod on Twitter.

In today's episode of the podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Richard Nisbett, one of the most well-known, well-cited, and influential Psychologists of all time. To say I am thrilled is an understatement! During our conversation, we dive deep into the meaningful contribution he has made to the field of Psychology. In particular, we touch on the difference between the unconscious and conscious mind and how we can use our unconscious mind more fully. We talk about errors and biases in our judgement and decision-making. And, he gives us a glimpse into the powerful factors that shape our behavior and the ways in which we experience life day-to-day.

What started out as a creative writing programme for young prisoners at Auckland's Mt Eden Corrections Facility is now spreading around the country's prisons. It's down to the hard work of the young writers behind Youth Arts New Zealand, a charity set up in 2017. The volunteers designed a creative writing programme, Te Kahui, for rangatahi in Mt Eden. A Creative New Zealand grant means they are now able to expand the programme through distributing specially designed exercise booklets. Lynn talks to two of the key players, Zak Devey (21) and poet Eric Soakai (23) who started an on-site creative writing workshop a year ago, before having to think laterally once the pandemic struck.

In this episode I discuss smart thinking. I talk about my university days where i used smart thinking to get out of an issue which could have cost me my degree. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/discoverthefounder/message

Shaz talks all things tax relief in this online presentation. He shares how he has made savings himself with examples from his own property development projects and answers questions about the best ways to purchase property either solo, with a partner or in a limited partnership. The questions are wide-ranging and Shaz includes great advice on how to save tax and claim tax relief if you are a business owner. It can be very easy for people to miss out on tax relief simply because they don't know how to structure or what to claim but this is a great opportunity for any business owner to start thinking about what you could claim.   KEY TAKEAWAYS If you are looking to do a commercial conversion to claim the VAT complete and file a VAT164OD this identifies you are changing to commercial. When you obtain planning there is an uplift in value and moving the property from a partnership to a limited company means that in the future you sell the property you will reduce your capital gains tax on the asset. You can claim land remediation relief when you have to remove hazardous materials such as asbestos. Gifting use of a property to a charity will mean they become liable for business rates, but they are able to claim back this cost. You can claim additional capital allowances for new fittings when you are creating serviced accommodation units. If you move properties into a limited company you are only liable for corporation tax on the balance of the profits. People should explore different business structures dependent on the project they are completing.   BEST MOMENTS ‘We were able to save over £100,000 in tax relief through smart thinking' ‘A limited liability partnership is the same as a standard partnership with the bonus of limited liability ‘ ‘If you own property in your own name you are not a sole trader'   VALUABLE RESOURCES shaz@aaa-accountants.co.uk   ABOUT THE HOST Shaz Nawaz is a serial entrepreneur; he owns five thriving businesses in diverse sectors.

When you classify things into positive and negative, you are stuck with both simultaneously as one cannot exist without the other. Remember that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction - this is a law stated by Newton but Newton didn't create it. Nature did. Because Nature strives for neutrality and that impetus is driven by an underlying state of non-duality (which, alas, we can hardly experience because our thinking is limited, whether positive or negative). --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lifewithin/support

Time to rock that BRAIN this week, and we could probably all use it with waht's going on in the world right now.... the virus, the shelter in place orders.... How are we coping and how can we maximize this time for our minds? The podcast is in four segments, and here’s this week’s breakdown: Segment 1: Rock Your Life with Amy: Amy explores what we can do with this time we've got on our hands, the habits we can build, the surrender that we are asked to make now, and how paying attention to our sleep can impact our brains. And Amy gets personal this week with a reframe realization of an issue she's had her entire life. Segment 2: The Interview: Art Markman, Ph.D. of Psychology and Professor at UT, author of several books including Smart Thinking and most recently, Bring Your Brain to Work, and he has the podcast "Two Guys on Your Head." Art is great at explaining how our brains function at times like we are currently experiencing. We cover motivations, emotions, habits, how not to make a decision about what we are “supposed to be feeling” right now, what we can do to leave work when we are working from home, and so much more. And what's most important right now? He says, "Take the time to rethink. Do I want to do things differently while I have the chance? [This time] is a really great chance to rethink the way that we interact with the people that are closest to us and to make that better." Learn more about Art HERE. Segment 3: Go Aff Yourself with Jill Faulkner of stickwithit.co. This week Amy and Jill talk about the effect that affirmations have had on our brains over the years of doing them; subconscious negative patterns of thought that we may choose because they are familiar; and Jill has a big aha! moment. This week’s Aff is: I Work With My Brain. Segment 4: BYOBBB -Build Your Own Brand, Biz + Brain with Bijou Finney: Bijou and Amy both have had cases of zombie brain; they cover sales in the time of coronavirus and how to focus on the clients you already have; how our brains work with choice; and ultimately, this week's grand takeaway about reframing and how we can work to find the good in any situation.

He talks about how sleep, social interaction, and stress affect our brain health, and offers tips for optimizing these aspects of our lives.

How can you release harmful habits and foster beneficial ones? How can you influence the creation or ending of habits in others? Art Markman, Ph.D., shares insights from his new book Smart Change: Five Tools to Create New and Sustainable Habits in Yourself and Others. The key to changing habits is leveraging the power of the brain rather than fighting against it. Only then can we bring lasting behavior changes into our lives and the lives of others.

Building upon the insights explored in his earlier book Smart Thinking, Dr. Markman provides a deeper understanding of how to unleash the power of the mind.

ART MARKMAN, Ph.D., the author of Smart Thinking and Habits of Leadership Habits allow you to carry out your daily routines without having to put in effort to guide your actions. Habits allow you to multitask: to talk and drive a car, to walk and  chew gum, to type and think at the same time. And although habits usually add great value to our daily lives, “bad” ones can be destructive. Smart Change explores the psychological mechanisms that form and maintain habits in individuals and groups and offers real, accessible, and actionable advice for change. In this engaging narrative, Dr. Markman, whose previous book Smart Thinking showed us how the mind works to think and act smarter, covers a wide range of habits. As insightful as it is practical, Prof. Markman's book explains how five effective tools can help us change our own unacceptable behaviors and influence the habits of others.
