Episode Synopsis
In Part 2 - ‘Hacking Humans’, we fold in the next layer of our conversation with Peter Smyth.This time, Drago and I enjoy hearing his modus operandi for understanding people and culture…· ‘Thinking in bets’, and how life is far more poker than chess· How great insight boils down to great people illuminating the opportunity ahead…· Balancing gut instinct vs. ‘what the data is saying’, both-ism and the art of integrated thinking (why the separation between art and science?)· Case-study writing: how the reality of the work isn’t captured by a template for linear thinking· Managing people: applying parenting principles, the importance of encouraging ‘self-agency’ and instilling not only motivation – but creating opportunities to initiate change Plus a selection of thought-provoking books, namely:· Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don't Have All the Facts, Annie Duke· Cognitive Surplus, Clay Shirky· The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbellwww.potluckpodcast.asia/
