In this episode of The Thinking Leader, Bryce Hoffman and Marcus Dimbleby talk about the ways in which AI - or AGI - could be used to help leaders make better decisions.

They discuss how AI can enhance your existing decision making processes, with particular reference to the Military Decision Making Practice (MDMP) and Red Team Thinking. They point out the value of using AI to increase diversity of thought, particularly in its capability to play Devil’s Advocate, due to AI’s freedom from political biases.

It is important to understand the limits of AI if you plan to use it in your decision making process. AI is still a relatively new tool which is limited by its dataset and lacks an understanding of human elements. Bryce and Marcus provide insight into where AI is most useful in business decisions, but also where caution is required when implementing such tools.

In this episode:

• How AI can enhance your existing decision making process
• What the limitations of AI are and why a human element is still required
• How AI avoids decision making biases and why this is important
• How to recognize the limitations and opportunities of AI tools
• Bryce and Marcus try to use ChatGPT to play Devil’s Advocate… against itself!

In this episode of The Thinking Leader, Bryce Hoffman and Marcus Dimbleby talk with Craig Dowden Ph. D., a thought leader, keynote speaker, and best-selling author.

They discuss the importance of a leader mastering their ‘self’ before they master their business. Leaders must learn from their own experiences and understand their own emotions before they can have a truly objective and positive view on business. You simply cannot lead through ego alone in the modern world.

They also talk about the value of mentors and coaches, and how the best CEOs lead with empathy and humility. Showing vulnerability as a leader develops trust and honesty with your employees, and by taking a step back you can enable your team to function optimally and enthusiastically. They also cover ways to have maximum impact at meetings to build a positive and impactful culture, rather than simply filling the meeting minutes.

In this episode:

• Why leaders should be mastering their ‘self’s before they master their business
• The importance of putting aside ego to build honest and trust in your team
• How leaders can take a step back to get the best out of their employees
• Craig’s Six Pillars of Positive Leadership, and the value they add to any business

In this episode of The Thinking Leader, Bryce Hoffman and Marcus Dimbleby talk about the Battle of Gettysburg and the power of letting your front line workers think for themselves.

At the Battle of Gettysburg, Col. Joshua Chamberlain held the last line of defense against the Confederates before Washington DC by considering the intent of his orders rather than following the direct wording. By empowering your frontline workers to think for themselves, your business will see much better results.

Companies such as Toyota and Wholefoods have enabled their employees to make decisions in the best interest of the business. Allowing workers to make important decisions causes the wellbeing of the business to be everyone’s responsibility, which builds a cooperative workplace and ultimately makes your employees feel valued.

In this episode:

• What the Battle of Gettysburg teaches us about empowering your workforce
• Why it is important for your workers to understand the intent of instructions
• How to empower your frontline employees to do the right thing
• Why your front line workers are best placed to spot serious problems
• How to run meetings to get the best out of your employees

In this episode of The Thinking Leader, Bryce Hoffman and Marcus Dimbleby talk about satisficing and how it damages businesses.

Satisficing is the act of being satisfied with the first sufficient solution to a problem. Being satisficed with the first solution is rarely the best solution and often deals with the symptoms of an issue rather than the root cause. 

They discuss the dangers of always being busy and why being a brilliant firefighter doesn’t result in a brilliant business. The idea that modern workers always need to be busy means decision makers don’t have time to consider all their options. Having time to consider your options and tackle problems correctly leads to a healthier and more successful business in the long-term.

In this episode:

• What is satisficing
• How satisficing can be the difference between a failing company and a successful one
• Why being brilliant at fighting fires isn’t a brilliant sign for your business
• The value of not being busy

In this episode of The Thinking Leader, Bryce Hoffman and Marcus Dimbleby talk to Oliver Yonchev, co-founder of Flight Story.

They discuss the recent developments of AI, how it impacts the business world, and the ethical concerns around AI. With many large companies ramping up their use of AI, particularly in public-facing systems, the world is on the precipice of an AI revolution. It’s crucial to understand this technological movement changes and how it could benefit your business.

They also talk about why companies need to take big risks if they want to grow. Taking risks is an important factor in getting out of your comfort zone, and no business is growing if it stays within its comfort zone.

In this episode of The Thinking Leader, Bryce Hoffman and Marcus Dimbleby talk about groupthink and the impact it can have on your business.

Groupthink is a result of social conformity and the desire to fit in, blinding the group to the flaws and consequences of their ideas. This can be devastating to a business if decision makers are unwilling, or unable, or analyze all the potential results of their own decisions.

Bryce and Marcus discuss real-world examples of groupthink and the negative consequences of a group's inability to recognize their shortcomings. They cover the eight symptoms of groupthink, which you can use to help identify groupthink, and strategies for breaking the cycle and outsmarting the pressure to conform.

In this episode of The Thinking Leader, Bryce Hoffman and Marcus Dimbleby talk about The Titanic Effect and how it can lead to major problems in your organization.

The Titanic Effect refers to the idea that there is often more to a situation or problem than meets the eye. Just like an iceberg floating in the ocean, only a small portion of it is visible above the surface, while the majority is hidden below. Similarly, in organizations, the surface level issues are often just symptoms of deeper underlying problems. 

The Titanic effect is a well-known example of this concept, where the sinking of the Titanic was not just caused by the visible iceberg, but by several factors, including inadequate safety procedures, poor communication, and a lack of leadership. In order to address these types of problems effectively, organizations need to shift towards a more learning culture, with fast feedback mechanisms in place and a focus on the middle ground. This requires strong leadership and a willingness to confront the truth, rather than allowing tyranny to feed on lies and silence.

In this episode you will learn:

• What is the Titanic Effect
• How Pre-Mortem Analysis can help prevent the Titanic Effect
• Why organizations need to adopt a learning-focussed culture
• The importance of Psychological Safety in your business
• How weak and tyrannical leadership can cause companies to fail

In this episode of The Thinking Leader, Bryce Hoffman and Marcus Dimbleby talk with Dr. Dan Dworkis, Chief Medical Officer at Mission Critical Team Institute, about swarm teams in mission critical environments like hospitals.

 In this episode of The Thinking Leader, Marcus and Bryce welcome in the new year, but the show also has a sense of apprehension as 2023 promises more volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, which leaders need to be ready for. 

In the show, Bryce and Marcus discuss:

The War in Ukraine: As the fighting enters its second year, the impact of this conflict will be felt more strongly across the globe as Ukraine’s allies increase pressure on Russia and Russia looks for new ways to harm the West.

The Economy: Rising food and energy prices will continue to hit people in their pocketbooks even as interest rates continue to rise, leading to further belt-tightening and reduced consumer spending.

Covid-19: Think the pandemic is over? Think again. The virus is running rampant in China as restrictions are removed, it continues to mutate, and the full impact the growing millions of “long Covid” sufferers will have on already strained societies is only just beginning to be felt.

Supply Chain Disruption: As the pandemic continues, so will the logistics nightmare it has created. The war in Ukraine will continue to exacerbate these problems, too. Don’t expect the free flow of goods and raw materials to resume anytime soon.

Artificial Intelligence: With the launch of Open AI’s ChatGPT, the future has become the present. Powerful AI is now available to everyone with an Internet connection – for free – and people are finding new ways to use and abuse it every day.

Of course, whilst the show is anticipating tough times, Bryce and Marcus also make clear why it is essential to have an understanding of how to find the opportunity in this disruption and how this is the key to success in 2023.
