1. How to Create Fair Workplaces Through Data-Driven Design with and Siri Chilazi

"Systemic change isn’t about trying to “fix” or “change” minds. Instead, it’s about giving people the tools and structures they need to improve. Just because we’re doing something a certain way today doesn’t mean it’s the best approach, the most level playing field, or the fairest system. We need to adopt an explorer’s mindset when examining our current processes." Read More.

2. How to Spot Early Warning Signs of Complex Failure with Amy Edmondson

"Intelligent failure is contained within reasonable boundaries. It does not put resources or safety at risk in a way that we cannot afford. It allows us to take calculated risks and gain valuable knowledge without jeopardizing our overall progress." Read More.

3. How to Empower Your Sales Team to Execute on Strategy with Scott K. Edinger

"I joke with executives sometimes, saying, "Don't tell me what your strategy is; I'll go on a half a dozen sales calls and I'll come back and tell you what your strategy is.” You may be disappointed about what's actually happening in the field versus what you said would happen in the boardroom because, without that connection, your sales team will set your strategy for you."

4. How to Master the 4-Question Framework to Unlock New Possibilities in Life & Business with Joshua Berry

"I have a four-question framework to help leaders identify these blockers and become more conscious of what's preventing them from achieving their goals. Where did you learn this belief? Is it true? What do you gain by holding this belief? What do you lose?" Read More.

5. How to Supercharge Collaboration by Breaking Down Organizational Silos with David Schizer

"One of the most useful ways to gain buy-in and foster collaboration is to break down institutional silos. This challenge stems from a valid need for specialization to enhance efficiency, resulting in individuals having distinct responsibilities. However, this often leads to insufficient communication between different groups, causing valuable knowledge or ideas to go unnoticed." Read More.
