Harvard College Dean Rakesh Khurana - How I Feel About Antisemitism, Racism, and Violence on Campus - and How We are Changing Our 387 Year Old Culture

samedi 6 avril 2024 • Durée 01:04:26

Harvard is an iconic, 387 year old institution of higher education. And it's time for a cultural overhaul.

The events of the past year – racism, antisemitism, violence on campus, the removal of its president - have thrown their imperfections into stark relief for the world to see.

Today’s guest - Harvard College Dean Rakesh Khurana – is very open and humble about Harvard’s imperfections. But that doesn’t mean he’s sitting still. Far from it. Recognizing he casts a long shadow and embracing a 'beginner's mindset', Khurana is spearheading the Intellectual Vitality effort which he hopes will revitalize the school’s culture.

The lofty goal is to create a safe space environment across the entire campus and community – both physically and psychologically – that encourages tough conversations about divisive problems, in which students can learn from each other, regardless of how uncomfortable it is, at first.

As Dean Khurana says, “let’s be hard on the problem, but easy on each other.”

We should all be keeping an eye on Harvard's progress. Lessons gleaned may help other universities - and other divided institutions and partisan leaders across America in the media, politics, education, and business.

The Success Condition - Rey Flemings - Founder & CEO of Myria

mardi 26 septembre 2023 • Durée 48:22

Rey Flemings - the founder and CEO of an app called Myria - the world's most exclusive concierge service - is on a quest to change the world.

Myria's ultra-wealthy clients - nearly all of whom are in the top .003% - come to Flemings with a wide range of requests, from relatively easy ones - like a front row seat to a Beyonce concert, box seats at the Super Bowl, or a personal invitation to the annual Met Gala in New York. Or sometimes they have nearly impossible requests - like helping clients secure an elusive O1 Visa during a government shutdown, or providing security detail in a country that frowns upon that sort of things.

And sometimes clients have off-the-charts existential requests - which Rey particularly loves - like partnering to enhance their personal legacies, figuring out how to lead happier lives, or the ultimate dream, helping them find true love. Helping clients solve these challenges are all part of the human condition, and a big part of Rey's job. Myria's mission aligns completely with Flemings' core values and authentic leadership style.

No matter how you slice it - Flemings has found a unique niche - and the company he founded is destined to make a positive impact in the world.

Why Do Five Million People Trust Professor Robert Cialdini?

vendredi 15 septembre 2023 • Durée 45:51

Every once in a while I'm stupid enough to get into an argument with my wife. Even when I win the battle (rarely), I lose the war (always).

This paradox made me think about the art of influence. How do you persuade people in a way that both sides feel they've won?

I turned to the world's preeminent thought leader on the topic - Professor Robert Cialdini - who wrote a book called Influence, The Psychology of Persuasion - that has sold more than five million copies around the world.

Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett loved the book so much they actually gave Cialdini a share of their stock - Berkshire Hathaway - which is now worth nearly 1/2 a million dollars. When asked about the gift, Munger replied, "The principles in your book have made our firm a lot of money over the years. You deserve a gift."

After listening to today's episode, let us know if you agree with Charlie Munger? Do Professor Cialdini's principles resonate with you?

Pixar Co-Founder Ed Catmull - The Hero's Journey

mardi 22 août 2023 • Durée 01:00:01

Ed Catmull is an enigma.

There's a good chance you wouldn't recognize him if he were standing right next to you. Yet, he's the creative genius and co-founder of Pixar - a totally unique organization that has completely changed the way many of us think about movies, culture, and even what it means to be a human being.

Catmull usually avoids the spotlight. In reality, he would rather work - behind the scenes - to build a fertile culture in which others can grow and succeed. In which others can reach their full creative potential. And, in which others can satisfy basic - if not contradictory human needs - like expressing individual ideas while simultaneously collaborating with others to build it into something much more profound.

Who could ever forget these iconic Pixar characters?:

Tom Hanks in Toy Story
Ellen DeGeneres and Albert Brooks in Finding Nemo
Samuel L. Jackson in The Incredibles
Julia Louis-Dreyfus in a Bug's Life

Should we take the time to listen to Catmull's advice?

Well, many others have over the past few decades, including visionaries like Steve Jobs and George Lucas; creative geniuses like Brad Bird and Pete Docter; business icons like ; and even top thought leaders (and former guests on our podcast), Professors , Linda Hill, and Roger Martin.

Embracing Imperfection - Greg Sands, Founder Costanoa Ventures

jeudi 20 juillet 2023 • Durée 46:03

Greg Sands isn't perfect.

To name just a few of his imperfections: He had a serious fear of failure as a young athlete. He struggled to find his 'place' while a student at Harvard University. He doesn't particularly like following the rules. And there are times when he feels extremely insecure, like the first time he raised money for his venture capital firm - Costanoa.

Yet, in just over a decade, Costanoa has emerged as one of the most well respected and successful venture capital firms in the entire world. Early stage entrepreneurs flock to Costanoa eager to begin a life-long relationship with Greg and his amazing colleagues. And Greg has never been more happy - "I wake up each morning with a smile on my face eager to go to work," he beams.

Find out why in today's episode of Imperfect Leaders - part of the Breakfast Club at Harvard.

The Right Kind of Wrong - with Harvard Business School Professor, Amy Edmondson

dimanche 18 juin 2023 • Durée 35:35

Harvard Business School Professor Amy Edmondson has been recognized as the #1 thought leader in the world.

She literally revolutionized the way CEOs around the world think about psychological safety. In her new book - The Right Kind of Wrong - she takes this conceptual framework one big step forward - and shares a practical tool-kit to help people reframe risk and learn from mistakes.

Edmondson confronts head-on the biggest dilemma facing innovative organizations. Bluntly, it requires people take risks and venture into the unknown. Yet people despise failure. How can leaders resolve this paradox? How can leaders create a culture that inspires their people to innovate, to be inclusive, to share unpopular views, to venture into the unknown, and to learn from their mistakes? How should talent feel about inevitable failure - and the embarrassment and shame they may feel?

One thing is certain - until organizations embrace 'intelligent failure' - they'll be at a competitive disadvantage to more innovative competitors.

Professor Edmondson's practical lessons apply broadly and equally well to innovators, CEOs, elite athletes, top chefs, research lab scientists, and even parents who just want to raise kids who embrace a more healthy perspective to risk taking and learning from the right kind of wrong.

G.H. Smart - The World's Best Leadership Advisory - with Founder, Geoff Smart

lundi 24 avril 2023 • Durée 53:45

Today's guest - Geoff Smart - has literally revolutionized the way companies around the world think about talent and leadership.

The leadership advisory Geoff founded - G.H. Smart - is on speed-dial of the world's top CEOs, private equity investors, and corporate board members - who call when crucial and complex leadership challenges need an elegant, data-driven solution - like CEO succession and executive team composition.

In much the same way that Professor Michael Porter of the Harvard Business School redefined the way companies think about strategy formulation, Geoff and his colleagues at G.H. Smart - have forever changed the way companies around the world think about talent. Until Geoff quantified a practical approach to assessing leadership potential and culture fit, companies were forced to naively rely on 'gut feel' and instinct. The G.H. Smart approach is 10X more effective.

As Geoff's former professor and management guru - Peter Drucker - famously said, 'culture eats strategy for breakfast.' And now, decades later, G.H. Smart helps clients - every single day - bring this vision to life.
