Teresa M. Amabile is the Edsel Bryant Ford Professor of Business Administration, Emerita, at Harvard Business School. Her most recent book, Retiring: Creating a Life That Works for You, presents insights from a decade of research on the psychological, social, and life restructuring challenges of retiring. Her colleagues Lotte Bailyn, Marcy Crary, Douglas T. Hall, and Kathy E. Kram collaborated on that work. Before turning her research interests to the retirement transition, Teresa devoted over 40 years to researching creativity and innovation. She was instrumental in establishing the social psychology of creativity – the study of how the social environment can influence creative behavior, primarily by influencing motivation. Her research on creativity appears in her books, Creativity in Context and Growing Up Creative, as well as numerous articles for scholars and practitioners. Extending that research, she studied how everyday life inside organizations can influence people and their creativity, productivity, commitment, and collegiality, by affecting inner work life – the confluence of motivation, emotions, and perceptions. The findings of that research appear in her coauthored book (with Steven Kramer), The Progress Principle: Using Small Wins to Ignite Joy, Engagement, and Creativity at Work. Teresa's work has appeared in over 100 scholarly journal articles and a variety of other outlets, including Harvard Business Review, as well as several edited books. She has presented her work to audiences in a variety of settings, including Pixar, Genentech, TEDx Atlanta, Apple, Pfizer, and The World Economic Forum in Davos. She consults to companies and nonprofits and has served on a number of boards. She has received a variety of awards, including the Distinguished Scholar Award from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Academy of Management's Organizational Behavior Division, the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Israel Organizational Behavior Conference, an honorary doctorate from BI Norwegian Business School, and election to the 2024 Thinkers50 Hall of Fame. www.retiringbook.com

In this episode of Ambition. Unleashed. Sara Moore and Guest host Justin Temblett-Wood look into how leaders can take an approach of seeking exploration over the need for certainty. A willingness to believe in planning, but not plans, will free leaders from self-imposed prisons that restrict their ability to act and react in uncertain times. It requires bravery to step away from apparent certainty, and insight to understand that certainty is built on context and interpretation rather than reality. If leaders can throw off these shackles and embrace exploration and experimentation, then they will be well-equipped to prepare for, and benefit from, the unexpected and thrive rather than just survive in volatile times.

Corporate CPR Episode 48: The Hidden Champions MarketOn today's show, we discuss the hidden champions market, what their success looks like, what makes them successful, and how you can apply those learnings to your organization.Hermann Simon is the Founder and Honorary Chairman of Simon-Kucher & Partners, today the world's leading price consultancy with 41 offices and 1600 employees.  From 1995 to 2009 he served as the CEO and is the firm's Honorary Chairman today.  He is an expert in strategy, marketing, and pricing, and the only German in the “Thinkers50 Hall of Fame” of the most influential management thinkers in the world. In German-speaking countries he has been continuously voted the most influential living management thinker. The magazine Cicero ranks him in the top 100 of the 500 most important intellectuals.Professor Simon has published over 40 books in 30 languages, including world bestsellers on Hidden Champions and price management. His most recent book is True Profit! No Company Ever Went Broke from Turning a Profit. His new book Hidden Champions in the Chinese Century: Ascent and Transformation will be published this spring.  Key Takeaways:What is a Hidden Champion?A Hidden Champion is a company that is one of the top three in its world market, has a revenue of less than 5 billion Euros, and is not known in the general public. They make up a large part of the economy.How is it possible that they are hidden? Why don't they come out and be globally known?It's often part of their culture. They don't want to attract the attention of their competitors. Often, they are suppliers contributing to complex products made by other more visible companies. What is the blueprint for success for these companies?The strategy is built on three pillars.Ambition to be the best: Analyze what you are really good at.Focus: Stay away from diversification. Focus on what you can do the best.Globalization: Expand regionally, and then internationally. What are the main things that cause champions to fail?Many are family companies that don't manage succession well. Technological breakthroughs come which they can't keep up with.What is it about Germany that fosters so many of these types of organizations?Historically, because Germany was made up of 23 monarchies and 2 republics, a businessman had to become international very quickly because of the proximity of the neighboring regions. It became "normal" to think internationally. The German vocational training system has young people work as apprentices in a company three days per week and attend vocational training two days per week. This fosters a great balance between practice and theory, creating worker competence.Recent books by Hermann SimonMany Worlds, One LifeHidden Champions in the Chinese CenturyContact Hermann SimonWebsite: https://hermannsimon.comEmail: hermann.simon@simon-kucher.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonhermann/Twitter: https://twitter.com/hermannsimonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/hermann.simon.50

He is a member of the Thinkers50 Hall of Fame, has won the Lifetime Award for Leadership from the Harvard Institute of Coaching, and is on the list of Amazon's “100 Best Leadership & Success Books Ever Written.”Goldsmith has coached over 200 CEOs and their management teams. His experience and deep focus on leadership have enabled him to understand how successful people think and make decisions. He's been coaching positive leadership behavioral changes that help us overcome challenges and become more confident. Marshall's coaching tactics discover roadblocks that prevent us from reaching our best potential and lead to a fulfilled life. One of Marshall's first executive clients was Alan Mulally, one of the most outstanding leaders in the USA (Former CEO of Boeing & Ford). Marshall admits that Alan was the person who changed his life.  When Marshall started using the famous Business Plan Review, developed by Alan, in his coaching,  he transformed it into Life Plan Review, using the“accountability & collaboration process” for personal and professional growth tracking.Marshall talks about his newest book, “The Earned Life: Loose Regret, Choose Fulfillment”, where he shares findings about coaching during the Covid-19 pandemic, the post-pandemic work-life balance desire, and the Great Resignation, connected with people's urge to seek meaning, get unstuck, and make changes.Marshall's tips for achieving a successful life lie in three areas: Aspiration – finding a profound meaning; Ambition – setting goals; and Action – our day-to-day activities that should be based on our aspirations and goals. It's essential to combine the three.As someone who transformed the executive coaching industry, Goldsmith has discovered that everyone can get better at something, no matter how successful they are. It's OK to get help and bring in experts as needed. So many people he has worked with have made a conscious effort to get the coaching they need to become better leaders.Join us to hear Marshall Goldsmith's insights on how courage, humility, and discipline can help us achieve positive change, reach our fullest potential, and succeed! Additional Resources:Dale CarnegieDale Carnegie CoachingDale Carnegie CourseDale Carnegie Leadership Coaching BlogHow to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale CarnegieMarshall Goldsmith's Website Marshall Goldsmith's Top Leadership Books The Life Plan Review (LPR) by Marshall Goldsmith:  HBR Matt Norman's WebsiteMatt Norman's BlogJoe Hart's WebsiteConnect on LinkedIn:Joe Hart, CEO of Dale CarnegieMarshall Goldsmith, #1 Executive CoachMatt Norman, President Dale Carnegie North Central US

You'll hear and feel how he works.I'd love to hear your take on this conversation – related to the concept that sparked the fire– “that everything you need, is already inside you” – versus – “you'll be better off with strong advice from a coach.”----Please support our partners!We're able to keep growing and creating content for YOU because of their support.

We focus on how to:create an innovation portfolio.balance different types of innovation.develop a more innovative culture.open up the organisation to external stimulus.But there are lots of myths and misunderstandings. Innovation "theatre" too. People talk a great game, but innovation practice doesn't live up to the promise. Who better to talk to about these topics than Bill Fischer, a guru on innovation and leadership; he worked with companies, like Haier, long before they became household names.  In this episode we talk about:innovation as a verb.CEOs who have the curiosity to be innovative.the power of conversations.the biggest myths of innovation.his challenges to design thinking and lean start up approaches.If you're look for somebody to challenge conventional wisdom, and refresh your own mindset and approach to innovation, have a listen. More about Bill: Bill is an Emeritus Professor at IMD in Switzerland and a Senior Lecturer at MIT. He was inducted into the Thinkers50 Hall of Fame in 2019. He was the Executive President and Dean of the China Europe International Business School, in Shanghai, and served on the faculties of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Clarkson University.LinkedIn profile.Thinkers50 profile.Book 'Reinventing Giants: How Chinese Global Competitor Haier has Changed the Way Big Companies Transform'.My resources: Sign up to my Flashes+Sparks for stimuli, ideas, guidance and tips on how to lead your team, organisation or self more effectively, delivered straight to your inbox: If you're not subscribed already and do subscribe to my youtube channel where you can watch the conversation.  You can also find me here:LinkedIn.Twitter.Personal website, which includes more examples of my work, the services I offer and testimonials from clients.

Our guest today has been ranked as the number one management guru by Business Week, profiled by Fast Company as one of the world's top 10 creative people in business, a top-five coach in Forbes, and recognized on Thinkers50 Hall of Fame as one of the world's leading business thinkers.Dave Ulrich has a passion for ideas with impact. Dave and his colleagues at the RBL Group have 30+ years of experience in helping organizations and individuals succeed through HR practices in talent, leadership, and organization. Dave previously appeared on the HRchat pod back in May 2020. In that show, he talked about ways leaders and employees can come through the Covid-19 crisis with greater resilience and new skills.Questions Posed to Dave Include:Throughout the Covid crisis, you have remained an optimist; emphasizing the opportunities available to HR leaders willing to use this time as a chance to learn and grow. When it comes to the role of the HR function in contributing to the overall success of the org, what are you most hopeful for in 2022?What are the biggest challenges facing HR leaders now and through the rest of 2022? what are the roadblocks facing hr and leaders to getting to success in the marketplace? How has 'The David Ulrich HR model' evolved over the past 25 years? In a 2021 interview, you explain "now is the time to reinvent HR by pivoting from benchmarking and best practice to guidance. Instead of improving by comparing oneself to others and by adapting what others do well, we must move beyond these descriptions of HR work to prescriptions ... We want to move to guidance to be prescriptive on what should be done." Please can you expand on the why and explain how HR departments can become more prescriptive? In a recent LinkedIn article, called How Can Business and HR Leaders Simplify Complexity?  you wrote "Even before the last two years, business leaders had to deal with the complexities of their lives by satisficing, bundling, delineating, creating value and renewing. But with the unparalleled demands of the past two years, the ability to simplify complexity is more critical than ever. Please can you explain what Simplifies Complexity means and why it's vital for HR leaders? We do our best to ensure editorial objectivity.

His books “Blockchain Ethics: A Bridge to Abundance” (2018) and “Re-Generation X” (2020) not only discuss the benefits of blockchain technology, but also capture Jamil's experience on how he has transitioned from being a loyal yet downsized former corporate employee to a self sovereign individual. With over ninety podcasts under his belt since he joined our team in February 2021, and with four years of experience both managing his own crypto portfolio and providing crypto guidance and counsel to select clients, Jamil continues to seek opportunities to help others navigate this still nascent industry. Jamil's primary focus outside of podcast hosting is helping former corporate employees gain the necessary skills and vision to build their own crypto portfolios and create wealth for the long-term.

In this episode, we explore why blockchain should be.

(The episode starts after a short introduction in Portuguese) O convidado é autor e consultor na área da gestão das organizações e da comunicação inter-cultural. Conhecido sobretudo pela autoria de um dos modelos de diferenças entre culturas nacionais mais conhecidos, que popularizou no livro "Riding the Waves of Culture", publicado em 1993.  -> Apoie este projecto e faça parte da comunidade de mecenas do 45 Graus em: 45graus.parafuso.net/apoiar O modelo de Trompenaars é -- juntamente com o modelo de Hofstede que já referi várias vezes no podcast -- uma das referências quando se trata de comparar culturas entre diferentes países. Nenhum dos dois modelos é perfeito -- até porque implicam necessariamente generalizar as culturas de países com milhões de pessoas com crenças e valores muito distintos --, mas a verdade é que há inegavelmente padrões nas culturas nacionais, e ler livros como o de Trompenaars muda a maneira como entendemos as reacções de pessoas de outras culturas. Ao longo da conversa, discutimos algumas das dimensões do modelo do convidado, como as culturas mais e menos emocionais, e mais e menos individualistas. Falámos também sobre como é possível ‘reconciliar' os dilemas que surgem quando diferentes culturas entram em conflito -- por exemplo dentro de empresas multinacionais. O autor tem adaptado este estudo sobretudo em aconselhar empresas que actuam entre vários países sobre como gerir as diferenças de culturas nos vários países em que operam. Como se adivinha, as organizações com maior sucesso são aquelas que mais bem conseguem articular estes desafios.    Índice da conversa: Fons Trompenaars Trompenaars Cultural Dimensions Modelo de Hofstede What is culture Ed (Edgar) Schein Model of Organization Culture Culture shocks Culture as the most persistent difference between countries Why are there different cultures to begin with?

Hermann Simon ist der erste und einzige Deutsche in der "Thinkers50 Hall of Fame". Diese Ehre wird den 50 besten Managementdenkern der Welt zu teil. Der Wirtschaftswissenschaftler Simon prägte den Begriff der "Hidden Champions" für weltweit erfolgreiche mittelständische Unternehmen, deren Stärken lange im Verborgenen blühten. Als Experte für Preis-Management ist er selbst ein solcher Global-Player. Und was wenige wissen: Simon gilt als Erfinder der Bahncard.

If you have a fear of pricing, or if you're worried that if you put your prices up you'll lose customers, then you need to listen to the Pricing Man, Hermann Simon, author of over 35 books on the subjects of profit and pricing. “Pricing is about value, or more precisely, the value perceived by the customers. If the customer perceives a high value, he or she is willing to pay a high price. If the perceived value is lower, you have to offer the product at a lower price.”Hermann Simon has lived two lives: in the first he was a boy on a farm in the Eifel region of Germany. In the second he is the Founder and Honorary Chairman of Simon-Kucher & Partners, a global consultancy with over 1500 employees. He's an expert in strategy, marketing and pricing and he's the only German in the “Thinkers50 Hall of Fame” of the most important management thinkers in the world.“No company has ever failed from making a profit. Most companies are revenue driven, market share driven, sales driven and only about one quarter are truly profit-oriented.”This is an incredibly insightful podcast about the importance of pricing and the need to understand the complexity of price, as well as looking at new pricing techniques. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. On today's podcast:How people should think about pricing now with CoronavirusPricing is not primarily about pricePricing is about the value perceived by the customersHow to establish the value of PorscheThe power of branding when pricingHow Evian beats the local waterThe power of multidirectional pricingNo company has ever failed from making a profitLinks:Confessions of the Pricing Man: How Price Affects EverythingPrice Management: Strategy, Analysis, Decision, Implementation
