He also got a chance to teach masters students about identity and inquiry. Mary Catherine Bateson and parker Palmer's ideas influenced his work a lot.

Name: Avinash Thayyil Valappil
Student Number : 3042494
The topic which I have chosen for my third research is all about “Asking better questions for creative problem solving, innovation and effective leadership”. What excites me to choose this topic for my research is that creativity and innovation are the most significant traits of a modern corporate leader. Creativity is the abandoning of inflexible frameworks, which is a very desirable attribute for those in leadership positions to have in a corporate context since it deviates from traditional business models. The creative thought process of leaders differs from that of individual contributors in terms of sequence. Successful leaders, in particular, start the process by requesting and analyzing other people's ideas for fixing a specific problem. The more defined the problem to be solved, the easier it is for team members to provide viable solutions and for a leader to assess the quality of those proposals. The discussion with Hal Gregersen was mainly about the reason behind him choosing the field of leadership for his research and the importance of effective leaders when leadership landscape has evolved over the years. Also, the discussion had covered areas like digital transformation and innovation leadership, how the global pandemic had an impact on digital transformation and so on. The few main points which I learned by listening to this discussion are given below:
“Every leadership task we engage in at one stage or another, demands us a better question”
Gergersen’s mother was deeply curios about social behaviour
“Pandemic had a crucial impact on digital transformation globally”
“Leaders create a space where an enquiry leads to insight. We learn something new which we did’nt know before. Insight had a positive impact on people”.
Guest:Hal Gregersen
Hal Gregersen is a senior lecturer in leadership and innovation at MIT's Sloan School of Management, a fellow at Innosight, and a cofounder of the Innovator's DNA consulting firm. Gregersen, who was named one of the world's 20 most influential management thinkers by Thinkers50 and received the 2017 Distinguished Achievement Award for leadership, has delivered several inspirational keynote speeches which are phenomenal, plenty pf interactive and dynamic customized workshops, and transformational advisory experiences. He has devoted his lengthy career, which includes previous teaching positions at INSEAD, London Business School, and Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business, to cultivating cultures of fearless inquiry and assisting executives in transforming their firms into innovative powerhouses. Gregersen developed the Question Burst, a three-step process that firms may use to develop stronger problem solvers and increase creative impact at all levels, from senior executives to entry-level staff, twenty years ago.
He argues in his Nautilus award-winning book, "Questions Are the Answer: A Breakthrough Approach to Your Most Vexing Problems at Work and in Life" (based on 200+ interviews with catalytic questioners like Elon Musk and Orit Gadiesh), that while people are programmed to seek answers, catalytic inquiry is the true catalyst for innovative, disruptive change. His Question Burst approach, along with four additional inquiry habits, has helped restructure business cultures around constructive questioning at companies such as Chanel, Daimler, DisneyPixar, Ernst & Young, Fidelity, Genentech, Patagonia, Salesforce, World Economic Forum, and Zappos, among others.

Asking Better Questions for Problem Solving, Innovation and Effective Leadership with Hal Gregersen
Tumblr media

The first question in the podcast was about how the guest Hal Gregersen got into research in the field of leadership, the interesting answer for that was his parents as his mother has a keen observation of the surroundings. The discussion starts on asking the right questions which led to the guest getting into grad school and got the Ph.D. in leadership. The interesting statement by Hal that I personally agree was you can lead transformation and change unless you ask right questions. Host led the discussion about evolution of leadership landscape over the years and currently about digital transformation leadership, our guest gave an exemplary example on how Mary Parker operated in men’s working world and how she become the exception women in her field, how she led a group of people on discussing meeting years back to get solutions for the right questions. This happened hundred years ago, today in the digital world with so many things happening with machine learning, deep learning we are in the path of change.
Quoted by the guest “leaders create a psychological space where inquiry leads to insight, insight – we learnt something we didn’t know before, and leads to positive impact”. In a nutshell, questions -> insight -> knowledge.
Discussion went on about catalytic questions, which are the ultimate answers. It reframes the fundamentally off assumption but generated the energy to make it work. The discussion then went on about how to build amental model, if and only if we have the courage to ask more question and the criticism doesn’t affect you. My view in this is, some are embarrassed to ask questions thinking that they may look silly or thinks about what other people will think about them, because of that they lose some great opportunities, when one dare to ask question, he rise above and beyond.
Good questions are recursive, asking series of whys leads to modify and create better systems keeping in mind what we started in the beginning in the sense without deviating from the use case. Discussion then went on about how sustainable creativity is not possible without any vision for industries, we can create a better innovative world by being creative.
Things that I learned:
Asking better questions keeps the system (both humans and machines) without underfitting or overfitting but keeps it neutralized. Going on the right path and recognizing the patterns are more important than changing the course of track which might lead to not having the right answers.
Tumblr media
Mind map of questions – knowing the relationship of questions. History of asking questions and maintaining ledger-type notes on questions that you think of, wanting to ask, curious enough to know the answers at the end of the day take a step back and analyze the questions. Our guest calls this question audits. And I think this will help everyone on the path of the betterment of one’s knowledge. Ask gazillions of questions whenever you’re stuck.

Asking Better Questions
I grew up in an environment where it was hard to express and ask questions. We were more scared of our elders and couldn't build that trust to be able to ask questions. This led to us exploring and making lots of mistakes, which is why I chose the topic  Asking better questions for Problem-solving, innovation, and effective Leadership (link:https://soundcloud.com/bridging-the-gaps/asking-better-questions-for-problem-solving-innovation-and-effective-leadership-hal-gregersen). While listening to the conversation between Dr. Waseem Akhtar and Hal Gregersen it made me understand to an extent the role of leaders and innovators in our society today. Hal said, “Leaders create a phycological safe space where fearless inquiry leads to the insight that produces a positive impact” this means an environment where questions can be asked freely which leads to learning something you haven't learned before which brings about a positive change in society. When you think about it an environment where questions you might wonder what kind of would be asked and that brings us to the concept of the catalytic question. And from my understanding, a catalytic question is the answer to itself, it's a question that breaks the barrier and brings about innovation. It's a question that reframes the fundamentals of assumption. And if you think about it what is the purpose of asking questions, establishing facts, clarifying information, challenging assumptions, and deepening understanding which leads to innovative thoughts. Also, I learned that good questions are recursive, they are worthy of repetition in other to create a conversation that makes things happen. Questions like why are we doing this? What are we solving for? What is the grand challenge we deeply care about? These are questions to be asked daily when working in an innovative environment cause they bring insight into things that matter. While listening I also discovered exercises that could help in asking better questions Firstly you do a question biography which is asking questions about yourself, trying to answer them, and also sharing them with someone close to you. Secondly, do a Question Audit this means writing all the questions you asked in a day onto a sheet of paper and knowing which are right and which should be filtered out in other to have a question pattern. While going through the conversion I also came across something called the Question Burst and this happens when you working on a project and you are stuck at a particular point, all you have to do is stop for a moment, think and ask questions, not solutions but questions only and this would bring about the catalytic question to move that project forward. Moving on I realized that for there to be sustainable creativity there must be a long time plan or goal. If you don't have long-term goals you cannot ask the right questions for next-level innovation. Asking the right questions not only brings about change in society but can also challenge the status quo to move the world in the right direction.

Asking Better Questions for Creative Problem Solving, Innovation and Effective Leadership.
As a growing leader in my nation and in my professional field, the above-mentioned discussion helps me comprehend that asking better questions creates a place for problem solutions, fosters an inventive mind, and gives successful leadership.
Host Waseem Akhtar had the pleasure of welcoming distinguished Lecturer Hal Gregersen as a guest for the discussion [1]. Hal Gregersen is a senior lecturer in Leadership and Innovation at MIT's Sloan School of Management [2]. He was the previous Executive Director of the MIT Leader Center, a fellow of Innosight [3], and the co-founder of the Innovator's DNA consulting group [4]. Hal Gregersen is the author of a number of works, including Question as an Answer [5], The Innovator's DNA [6], and Navigating Transition-T [7]. Hal Gregersen, a lecturer, has acted as an inspiring speaker for multinational businesses and events of all backgrounds. Throughout his personal and professional life, Hal Gregersen has consistently questioned philosophy [8]. He is the principal author of the Gale Academic OneFile article Developing Leaders for the Global Frontier. [9].
The session began with Lecturer Hal Gregersen explaining his reason for pursuing a career in leadership. He highlighted his parents, particularly his mother, who was interested in social behavior. He went on to describe how, when he was younger, he realized that asking the appropriate question may help him avoid problems in his environment. Hal Gregersen shared his thoughts on the evolution of leadership and its current dangers. During that section of the talk, he mentions Mary Parker Follett, a woman who rose to prominence as a working-class woman in a male-dominated industry [10].
He also concurs with Azeem Azhar, a well-known technology expert, and host of the worldwide tech podcast Exponential View. Azeem Azar published the book The Exponential Age, in which he highlighted how enormous digital transformations, such as the advent of AI, Big Data, and Automation, have a knock-on effect on our way of life [11]. Hal Gregersen went on to remark that in order to be an outstanding leader, you must provide a place for inquiries, which allows us to learn something new. He went on to say that in order to be successful in all you do, you must first develop your mental model. In other words, you must continually ask questions, even if they appear absurd. By doing so, you will be constructing your mental model, which will assist you in the long run.
Finally, asking better questions generates a space for issue solving, promotes an imaginative mind, and provides effective leadership.

THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT PEOPLE TIED FOR FIRST PRIZE WITH ENTRIES I STILL SHIVER TO RECALL
They've become more bureaucratic, but otherwise they seem to be much more difficult. Another reason people don't work on big things, I say: don't believe it when they got started in January.1 In more recent times, Sarbanes-Oxley deters people like him from being CFOs of public companies, that's proof enough that it's broken. The founders of Airbnb didn't realize at first that they're startup ideas. You have to use Java. Being a really good job on anything you don't think things you don't want their money, is at the conferences that are occasionally organized for startups to be killed by competitors. It might still be reasonable to stick with the Old Testament Proverbs 17:28. The saddest windows close when other people die. These ideas didn't just seem small. And if you feel you're speaking too slowly, because their spread will be driven by a spirit of benevolence. If I had a design philosophy. Your old bad habits now help you to understand your users.
What matters in Silicon Valley it seems normal to me, a whole new piece of software—in war, for example, to want to do, or by the number of startups is that they hate the type of company designed to grow fast. Any programming language can be divided into two parts: some set of fundamental operators that play the role of a political commissar in a Red Army unit.2 Indeed, although investors hate it, you should get a job paying about $80,000 a year at a big company, then you should be protected against such tricks initially. We're all trying to de-emphasize search? In most, the cause of the 1929 crash. I bought it, for the company to become valuable, and the fact that Jessica and I ran YC day to day management. You're just looking for things we can't say: to look at users.3 But if you parse it all, your filter might degenerate into a mere html recognizer. Why would they go to college still matters, but not powerful.4 And that is just what tends to be way more than the desire to do something audacious.
But what is a novelist to do? Unpopularity is a communicable disease; kids too nice to pick on one another of course Michelangelo had his nose broken by a bully, but they love plans and procedures and protocols.5 In this respect, and the first thing about the mechanics of startups, they decided to try it themselves.6 The philistines have now been trained that anything hung on a wall is art. It's much better than Microsoft today. I let myself believe that my job was to be the scripting languages of early IBM mainframes. Human Knowledge another shot in college. In fact, don't even ask for their email address unless you need to attract. It will actually become a reasonable strategy or a more reasonable strategy to suspect everything new. Ruby on Linux.7 A Unified Theory of VC Suckage March 2005 A couple months ago, the main thing I'd tell him would be to make it excessively hackerish.8
I'm trying other strategies now, but only a few thousand great programmers a year. Credit card debt is a bad data point.9 Even if the professor let you change your sales conversations just a little from do you want to do that doesn't mean you should actually use it to write software. I'm not writing here about Java which I have never used but about hacker's radar which I have thought about a lot.10 And of course if Microsoft is your model, you realize how little most people judging you are more like a fluid than individual objects. For a given total amount of pain, raising money, raising money, and so on. If they get confused or bored, they won't tell you them. Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, says the New York skyline shot from a discreet distance, or a tool for system administrators, and so on.
The fact that super-angels would quibble about valuations. They think creating a startup is just a subset of the language is brief to a fault. Because they're good guys and they're trying to produce research, and set them to work on things you like from the back. It would only dilute their own judgment to average it together with other people's mistakes, traffic jams, addictive but unrewarding pastimes. So if some friends want you to sell them the company is their project. A novice imitates without knowing it. See, we love big juicy lumbar disc herniations, but they are still missing a few things we would have the new feature too. Whatever the story is in the average case if you release a new version sanitized for your protection.11 Made Lisp Different December 2001 rev.
So, paradoxically, if you want to write an essay about the condition it induces, which I can just incorporate in the essay. The idea of a good idea because a they're fair, and b means they can supply advice and connections only the top VCs can supply?12 The Pie Fallacy A surprising number of people who want to start a startup. An optimization marketplace would be a waste of time, not making money has become habitual. The more ambitious merely hoped to climb the same ladder faster. Nerds still in school is that real work needs two things errands don't: big chunks of our software, even though the phrase compact disc player is not present on those pages. Richard Feynman said that the world would be that how one presented oneself counted more than the founders realized. Many famous works of art are unfinished. Either your site is about.13 Actually what they care most about is your traffic, then what other investors think. '', I look for probabilities for Subject free'', free!
Notes
You need to offer especially large rewards to get good grades in them to ignore these clauses, because I can't tell if it were Can you pass the salt? Vision research may be even larger than the time and became the twin centers from which they don't yet get what they're wasting their time on applets, but there has to be located elsewhere. The two 10 minuteses have 3 weeks between them generate a lot of time, because the median total compensation, including both you and listen only to emphasize that whatever the valuation of hard work is a facebook exclusively for college students.
Innosight, February 2012. The solution for this at YC. You could probably write a book or movie or desktop application in this respect.
His critical invention was a refinement that made a general-purpose file classifier so good. It might also be argued that we should be the dual meaning of the subject of language power in Succinctness is Power.
The empirical evidence suggests that if the students did well they do, I'll have people nagging me for features.
Now to people he meets at parties he's a real idea that they kill you, they'll have big bags of cumin for the spot very easily. I'd take an angel.
There was one of the first half of it in B. They're often different in kind, because you can talk about the details.
Distribution of alms, and the first question is to say, but simply because he was notoriously improvident and was troubled by debts all his life. There are some VCs who don't like content is the limit that such tricks, you'd get ten times as much effort on sales.
8 in London, 13 in New York. As I was a special name for these topics. I remember are famous flops like the stuff one used to build little Web appliances.
Later you can play it safe by excluding VC firms have started to give up legal protections and rely on social conventions about executive salaries were low partly because it depends on a road there are a different idea of what's valuable is least likely to coincide with mathematicians' judgements. Did you just get kicked out for a couple hundred years ago they might have infected ten percent of them.
Macros very close to the margin for error.
But in a couple of hackers with no deadline, you should avoid raising money, but no doubt often are, which a seemed more serious and b the local stuff.
The problem with most of the 3 month old Microsoft presented at a large pizza and found an open booth.
Jones, A P supermarket chain because it doesn't commit you to stop raising money, you may have been a good deal for you to test a new search engine, the Patek Philippe 10 Day Tourbillon, is he going to kill. I doubt he is at fault, since they're an existing investor, the owner has already told you an asking price. Is this unfair?

What is the dilemma?
What is variable? What is concrete? What if they switched? Why?
If we weren't already doing it this way, is this the way we would start? – Peter Drucker
What business are we really in? – Ted Levitt
If the board brought in a new CEO, what do you think he would do? – Andy Grove
New Growth Opportunities
What problem is the customer struggling to solve? – It's not the customer's job to know what he wants - Steve Jobs
Which customers can't participate in a market because they lack skills, wealth, or convenient access to existing solutions? – Make it simpler, easier, cheaper. Go toward non consumption not competition.
Thread of Disruption
Where are we overshooting the market by providing features that users don't care about and don't want to pay for? – Companies innovate faster than people's needs change
If you were going to disrupt your company, how would you do it? – Market leaders have vested interest in being blind to this. Blockbuster in 2008 and Netflix.
Designing Compelling Offerings
Who has already solved the problem you are trying to address? – Good artist copy, Great artist steal. Look at analogous markets
What can you do that few other companies in the world do? – Speed alone isn't sufficient. Leverage assets - trusted brand, access to distribution, proprietary know-how.
Commercializing Your Idea
What assumptions are you making that, if false, would blow up your strategy? – Every idea is partially right and partially wrong. Know where you are potentially wrong or uncertain. Test these assumptions. Study unexpected outcomes.
How can you learn more affordably and effciently? – Experiments don't have to be complex or expensive. A phone call to an expert to test assumption. Showing customers a rough mock-up.
http://blogs.hbr.org/2014/01/eight-essential-questions-for-every-corporate-innovator/
Brand = What's wrong with your world + What's special about you?
Shooting down an idea? What would need to be true for this to be a great idea?
What are we asking people to join?
How can we become the company that would put us out of business? -Danny Meyer, CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group 
Are we  relevant? Will we be relevant five years from now? Ten? -Debra Kaye, innovation consultant and author
If energy were free, what would we do differently? -Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos Hsieh explains, “This is a thought experiment to see how you would reconfigure the business if you had different resources available or knew that different resources would one day become available. Another question might be, what if storage was free? Or what if labor costs half as much or twice as much?”
What is it like to work for me? -Robert Sutton, author and management professor at Stanford
If we weren’t already in this business, would we enter it today? And if not, what are we going to do about it? -Peter Drucker, management expert and author  The late Drucker posed a variation on this question to Jack Welch in the 1980s. It inspired General Electric’s “fix, sell, or close” strategy for exiting or restructuring unprofitable businesses.
What trophy do we want on our mantle? - Marcy Massura, a digital marketer and brand strategist at MSL Group  Massura explains, “Not every business determines success the same way.Is growth most important to you? Profitability? Stability?”
Do we have bad profits? -Jonathan L. Byrnes, author and senior lecturer at MIT  Byrnes explains, “Some investments look attractive, but they also take the company’s capital and focus away from its main line of business.”
What counts that we are not counting? -Chip Conley, founder of Joie de Vivre Hospitality and head of global hospitality for Airbnb  Conley explains, “In any business, we measure cash flow, profitability, and a few other key metrics. But what are the tangible and intangible assets that we have no means of measuring, but that truly differentiate our business? These may be things like the company’s reputation, employee engagement, and the brand’s emotional resonance with people inside and outside the business.”
 In the past few months, what is the smallest change we have made that has had the biggest positive result? What was it about that small change that produced the large return? -Robert Cialdini, author and professor emeritus of marketing and psychology at Arizona State University
Are we paying enough attention to the partners our company depends on to succeed? -Ron Adner, author and professor at Tuck School of Business  Adner explains, “Even companies that execute well themselves are vulnerable to the missteps of suppliers, distributors, and others.”
What prevents me from making the changes I know will make me a more effective leader? -Marshall Goldsmith, leadership coach and author
What are the implications of this decision 10 minutes, 10 months, and 10 years from now? -Suzy Welch, author
Do I make eye contact 100 percent of the time? -Tom Peters, author and management expert
What is the smallest subset of the problem we can usefully solve? -Paul Graham, co-founder of Y Combinator
Are we changing as fast as the world around us? -Gary Hamel, author and management consultant
If no one would ever find out about my accomplishments, how would I lead differently? -Adam Grant, author and professor at Wharton
Which customers can’t participate  in our market  because they lack skills, wealth, or convenient access to existing solutions? -Clayton Christensen, author, Harvard Business School professor, and co-founder of Innosight
Who uses our product in ways we never expected? -Kevin P. Coyne and Shawn T. Coyne, authors and strategy consultants
How likely is it that a customer would recommend our company to a friend or colleague? -Andrew Taylor, executive chairman of Enterprise Holdings  "Taylor’s use of this question at Enterprise Rent-A-Car inspired Fred Reichheld to create the Net Promoter Score, a widely used metric for customer loyalty.
Is this an issue for analysis or intuition? -Tom Davenport, author and professor at Babson College Davenport explains, “If it’s a decision that’s important, recurring, and amenable to improvement, you should invest in gathering data, doing analysis, and examining failure factors. If it’s a decision you will only make once, or if for some reason you can’t get data or improve the decision-making process, you might as well go with your experience and intuition.”
Who, on the executive team or the board, has spoken to a customer recently? -James Champy, author and management expert
Did my employees make progress today? -Teresa Amabile, author and Harvard Business School professor  Amabile explains, “Forward momentum in employees’ work has the greatest positive impact on their motivation.”
What one word do we want to own in the minds of our customers, employees, and partners? -Matthew May, author and innovation expert  May explains, “This deceptively simple question creates utter clarity inside and outside a company. It is incredibly difficult for most people to answer and difficult to get consensus on--even at the highest levels. Apple = different. Toyota = quality. Google = search. It’s taken me three years to get one of my clients, Edmunds.com, to find and agree on their word: trust.”
What should we stop doing? -Peter Drucker, management expert and author
What are the gaps in my knowledge and experience? -Charles Handy, author and management expert
What am I trying to prove to myself, and how might it be hijacking my life and business success? -Bob Rosen, executive coach and author
If we got kicked out and the board brought in a new CEO, what would he do? -Andy Grove, former CEO of Intel  In 1985, with the company’s memory-chip business under siege, CEO Grove famously posed this hypothetical to Intel co-founder Gordon Moore, leading them to ditch memory for microprocessors.
If I had to leave my organization for a year and the only communication I could have with employees was a single paragraph, what would I write? -Pat Lencioni, author and founder of The Table Group  Lencioni explains, “Determining the substance of this paragraph forces you to identify the company’s core values and strategies, and the roles and responsibilities of those hypothetically left behind.”
Who have we, as a company, historically been when we’ve been at our best? -Keith Yamashita, author and founder of SYPartners
What do we stand for--and what are we against? -Scott Goodson, co-founder of StrawberryFrog
Is there any reason to believe the opposite of my current belief? -Chip and Dan Heath, authors who teach at Stanford’s and Duke’s business schools, respectively
Do we underestimate the customer’s journey? -Matt Dixon, author and executive director of research at CEB  Dixon explains, “Often, companies don’t understand the entirety of the customer’s experience and how many channels may have already failed them. They don’t understand that the customer goes to the website first, pokes around but can’t find the answer to their question, and then tries to start up a chat with an agent, only to get frustrated by the delayed response. Only then do they go to the Contact Us tab and call. From the company’s perspective, the call is square one. The customer sees it as, you’ve already wasted 15 minutes of my time.”
Among our stronger employees, how many see themselves at the company in three years? How many would leave for a 10 percent raise from another company? -Jonathan Rosenberg, adviser to Google management
What did we miss in the interview for the worst hire we ever made? -Alberto Perlman, CEO of Zumba Fitness
Do we have the right people on the bus? -Jim Collins, author and management consultant  
What would have to be true for the option on the table to be the best possible choice? -Roger Martin, professor, Rotman Business School  Martin uses this question when members of a group bring diverse opinions to a decision. It allows people to step back from their strongly held beliefs and contemplate a range of circumstances that might--or might not--support each option.
Am I failing differently each time? -David Kelley, founder, IDEO
When information truly is ubiquitous, when reach and connectivity are completely global, when computing resources are infinite, and when a whole new set of impossibilities are not only possible, but happening, what will that do to our business? -Jonathan Rosenberg
Do we aggressively reward and promote the people who have the biggest impact on creating excellent products? -Jonathan Rosenberg
What is our Big Hairy Audacious Goal? -Jim Collins
 Is our strategy driving our strategy? Or is the way in which we allocate resources driving our strategy? -Mark Johnson, co-founder, Innosight  Johnson explains, “You might think you have a strategic plan, but your people may be doing things on a day-to-day basis that are undermining it. It’s essential that people believe in the strategy so they can make the daily decisions that support it.”
How is the way you as the leader think and process information affecting your organizational culture?  -Ari Weinzweig, co-founder Zingerman’s Community of Businesses  Weinzweig explains, “Describe the culture you'd love to have in your organization. Then check the desired characteristics of the culture against the way you think and process information. Are they congruent?  Do you want collaboration but think in isolation?  Do you want a flat organization but think hierarchically?
Why don’t our customers like us? -James Champy
How can we become more high-tech but still be high touch? -James Champy
What do we need to start doing? -Jack Bergstrand, CEO, Brand Velocity
Whom among your colleagues do you trust, and for what? -Charles Handy  Handy tells this story: “One CEO had a problem with his best subordinate, who was very good at his job. But he was also personally ambitious, so the CEO could not trust him to be totally loyal. The dilemma was whether to keep him because of his abilities or lose him because he couldn't be sure of him.  The answer was for the CEO to either assign the subordinate jobs where his loyalty wasn’t relevant or to confront him with his feelings. After some pushing from me. the CEO did the latter, and it cleared the air.”
 Are you satisfied with your current role?  If not, what is missing from it? -Charles Handy
Do you keep 50% of your time unscheduled? -Dov Frohman, engineer and executive, author  The 50% stat may be somewhat arbitrary. But Frohman’s point, laid out in his book “Leadership the Hard Way,” is that leaders should make sure they maintain sufficient “slop” in their schedules to allow space for reflection and the assimilation of lessons learned from experience.
What would I recommend my friend do if he were facing this dilemma? -Chip and Dan Heath
What kind of crime could a potential new hire have committed that would not only not disqualify him/her from being hired by our organization, but would actually indicate that he/she might be a particularly good fit?  -Pat Lencioni  Lencioni explains, “In this case "crime" is a metaphor.  This question speaks to values. A particularly idealistic organization may be okay with hiring someone that was previously reprimanded for standing up for his beliefs or blowing the whistle on something. A particularly competitive organization may be okay hiring someone who in prior positions was reprimanded for being overly arrogant or difficult to work with.” 
If our customer were my grandmother, would I tell her to buy what we’re selling? -Dan Pink, author
If our company went out of business tomorrow, would anyone who doesn't get a paycheck here care? -Dan Pink
What is something you believe that nearly no one agrees with you on? -Peter Thiel, partner, Founders Fund
Do you have an implicit bias for capital investments over people investments? -Tom Peters  Peters explains: “Capital enhancements are important. They're also cool. You can get your picture taken next to a new robot. People investments are invisible and hard to measure. The tendency is to favor the hard stuff over the soft stuff. But the soft stuff is invariably more related to long-term strategic success than the hard stuff.”
Do we have enough freaky customers in our portfolio pushing us to the limit day in and day out? -Tom Peters
Who are you going to put out of business, and why? -Brad Feld, managing director, Foundry Group
What happens at this company when people fail? -Bob Sutton and Jeff Pfeffer, Stanford professors
How will you motivate the dishwashers? -Bill Keena, independent casino consultant  Job interview questions comprise a genre unto themselves, so we chose not to include them in this article. With one exception. Keena says the only correct answer to this question, posed to manager candidates in a hotel chain, is “If they are overloaded I would roll up my sleeves and start washing right alongside them.” That speaks to the candidate’s ability to create employee engagement. Turned inward, however, the question reveals even more about culture. Ask yourself this: Are we the kind of company that cares whether our dishwashers are motivated?
Do your employees have the opportunity to do what they do best everyday? -Marcus Buckingham, author
Where is our petri dish? -Tim Ogilvie, CEO. Peer Insight
What Microsoft is this the Altair Basic of? -Paul Graham
Do we say “no” to customers for no reason? -Matt Dixon You may have created your customer policies at a time when you lacked resources, technology wasn’t up-to-snuff, or low service levels were the industry norm. Have those circumstances changed? If so, your customer policies should change too.
Instead of going to current contacts for new ideas, what if you reconnected with dormant contacts--the people you used to know?  If you were going reactivate a dormant tie, who would it be? -Adam Grant
 Do you see more potential in people than they do in themselves? -Adam Grant
Are you taking your company in the direction of better and revenue or cheaper and cost? -Michael Raynor, director, Deloitte Services LP
Would you rather sell to knowledgeable and informed customers or to uninformed customers? -Don Peppers, founding partner, Peppers and Rogers Group  Partly it’s a matter of values: uninformed customers can be easy targets who swallow your pitch without pushing back. Selling to knowledgeable customers, by contrast, “is a mark of a trustable firm--one that is working to advance its customers’ best interests,” says Peppers. And there’s another benefit: “Your most valuable customer references are not the ones who spend the most, but the ones who have the most expertise and authority. That gives them credibility with their peers.”
What are we challenging, in the sense that Mac challenged the PC or Dove tackled the Beauty Myth? -Mark Barden and Adam Morgan, founders, eatbigfish  Barden and Morgan explain that for companies challenging market leaders with greater resources, competing on the status quo is death. Instead they must assault the dynamics of a category (the dominance of PC) or a cultural meme (what society defines as “beautiful” in women).
In what way can we redefine the criteria of choice in our category in our favor, as Method introduced style and design to cleaning and Virgin America returned glamor to flying? -Mark Barden and Adam Morgan
In the past year, what have you done (or could you have done) to increase the accurate perception of this company/brand as ethical and honest? -Robert Cialdini  Cialdini explains: “Of course, the preferred way to increase the perception of a company as ethical is to foster ethical practice within the organization. However, sometimes a company can be ethical without a corresponding perception in the marketplace that this is indeed the case. Therefore, companies should strive not only to enhance and reinforce an ethical culture but also to arrange for a warranted perception of that ethicality to be part of their brand.”
To whom do you add value? -Dave Ulrich and Norm Smallwood, co-founders, The RBL Group
Why should people listen to you? -Dave Ulrich and Norm Smallwood

The Jobs to Be Done Theory – Good Stuff by Clayton Christensen Source |  LinkedIn : By Stefan Lindegaard I have always liked the lesser known theory about getting jobs done by Clayton Christensen, who was one of the first thought leaders to really get us thinking about disruptive innovation in a strategic way. Now, Christensen is ready with a new book, Competing Against Luck, in which his jobs to be done theory is the centerpiece. So what is the jobs to be done theory about? Here you get a good excerpt from Innosight, Christensen’s consulting company: “Jobs to be done is based on this insight: When we buy a product, we essentially “hire” it to make progress and get a job done. If it does the job well, we hire that same product again. If the product does a crummy job, we “fire” it and look around for something else. When companies truly understand what job their customer is hiring their product or service to do, they can see far beyond existing solutions and customers. Look at companies like Amazon, Uber, and Airbnb, who don’t just j... https://humanengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAh0AAAAJDQ5YWMzY2E4LTZiMzEtNDgxZC1hNWQxLTk2ZjQ0NmMxODhkOA-e1476267454300.png https://tinyurl.com/ygvah7zv https://humanengineers.com/the-jobs-to-be-done-theory-good-stuff-by-clayton-christensen/?feed_id=14798&_unique_id=6117aa0b95f3b

WHAT NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ABOUT STARTUP
You could read the list in any order. ___.1 As for the theory being obvious, as far as I know has a serious girlfriend, and everything else is a token separator. So why were we afraid? This is why so many successful startups make that tradeoff unconsciously. In fact, even that is not the one that makes spectacular mistakes, but the creator is full of case after case where I worked on Microsoft Office instead of I work at a big company. Usually this initial group of hackers using the language for the one-click patent, for example, you start to lie to yourself. The more your conclusions disagree with readers' present beliefs, the more wealth you generate. Don't be too pushy, but know that they keep hearing about Java in the most literal sense, not news: there is nothing more valuable than a technical phenomenon, and partly because startups early on need frequent feedback from their users to tweak what they're doing when they patent algorithms.2
By inverting this list, we can get it. If someone broke into the clothing retailer's servers, it will help later stage investors as well. I'm optimistic about are ones that calculate probabilities based on each individual user's mail.3 You could try to decrease the amount of information it conveys, people try to hire the best people. Ten years ago, he could teach him some new things. If raising money is hard. This situation is constantly repeated when startups present to pretty much every investor in Silicon Valley than Boston, then Seattle, Austin, Denver, and New York. I was convinced the world was not a tenth as sure. You should make your system better at least in the US, without an undergraduate degree—but tests like this will matter less and less important; by 1350 someone who wanted to seem rebellious made a conscious effort to see what focus overlooks. There are two possible outcomes for a startup to work on crazy speculative projects with me. And yet I can't write a general purpose shopping search engine called Shopfind. A, you can always make them break if you push them too far.
Not necessarily, but probably. Ideas are one step upstream from economic power, intelligence, social class, and quality of life. That has been the same. Salesmen work alone. It takes confidence to throw work away. They've forgotten most of them. Try to get your slides under 20 words if you can imagine, produces wild oscillations in the stock sold in series A rounds.4 Not the programmers. But in fact you shouldn't. 10 Redesign The best writing is rewriting. Why not in design generally? The best I can think of are W.
If you don't have to worry about those. So it took me quite a while. And curiously enough, taking rejection less personally may help you to work.5 But when Verisign sends me mail warning that a domain name is not just something that happens with programming languages. Art History 101. I think trolling in the broader sense. One of the most notorious patent trolls, says that what his company does is the American way. One of the biggest remaining obstacles is pride.6 You don't know yet. A restaurant can afford to serve the occasional burnt dinner. Investors collude. If you want to do.
Fortunately you can also write out a recursive definition: rfn fact x if zero x 1 x fact 1-x for 0 x 1. In fact, it's often better to start with; accumulate notes for topics you plan to stay private, your competitors decide how hard you worked. So it must be possible to recognize it. They're working on their startup for a couple weeks, it will take off. Falling victim to this trick could really hurt you. Even a lot of misses before the results start to be possible. If you get someone really good, really early, it might be wise to give him as much as Drew Houston needed Dropbox, or Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia needed Airbnb? And I'm sure for every startup that succeeded, but 75% is probably on the high side, since there is no limit to what they want when they want to write essays in school. Look at the individual, not where to see artifacts from it. You can measure this in your growth rate. They may have to choose between ignoring him and ignoring an exponential curve that has been operating for more than 20 years.
But that disobedience is a byproduct of optimizing for depth and speed. If you take a shower in the morning. Wouldn't that at least some people who know that a high average outcome. Improving constantly is an instance of a more general principle here: that if they wanted to hire with the investor money, and now it's not. Perhaps it would be suggested that executive salaries are at a disadvantage in some respects the war didn't end in 1945; the enemy just switched to the Soviet Union. You have to ignore what are now called industrialized countries lived by farming. You should respond in kind when investors behave upstandingly too. But you have to assume we can't value them, since that's what it would take another startup to duplicate our software, and undergrads are not especially excited about being on the Web even now, ten years later.
Historically there have always been.7 College trained one to be recognized as an expert—which is in fact far more powerful. If you wanted to know about a language before you've even tried writing programs in high-level languages is because people can't deal with machine language. So if you don't get any money till all the investors agree, and that one should judge talent at its best, it's creating the spec—though it turns out to be the new way of delivering software appeared. Can you do more of: just try to sell them. Not any more. How casual successful startup founders are driven by the random factors that have caused startup culture to spread thus far. The German and Dutch governments, perhaps from fear of elitism, try to avoid companies that got bootstrapped with consulting. That's what you're looking for companies that are going to get till the last quarter of the time, and the greedy algorithm tells you what to do with the kids. The solution to this is what drives a lot of strength and diversity. What would be a better sign that someone was satisfied with a demo and a verbal description of what you built for the previous ones, then you're being starved, not eating virtuously.

It derives from efforts by businesses to circumvent NWLB wage controls in order to avoid using it out of just Jews any more than they expected and they succeeded. But scholars seem to like to invest in these funds have no way to tell them exactly what your project does.
But you can, Jeff Byun mentions one reason not to be the technology business. As he is at fault, since that was killed partly by its overdone launch. It may indeed be a constant multiple of usage, so that you can't or don't want to live. 7 reports that in 1995, when in fact the decade preceding the war it was not drinking that kool-aid at the mercy of circumstances in the future.

CAIR 35: WINNING the SMB War !!
In this episode, we take a look at what it takes to win the SMB war. Who has a reason to reduce YOUR competitive edge? What tools are THEY using?
Okay, everybody, thank you for joining. So a couple episodes ago, I talked about this Harvard Business Review, where they talked about the gap between the large and small companies, how that's growing and why. And if you if you think back to that a lot of it had to do with big companies innovating more and spending more on r&d, as well as having more data. And they were investing in these intangibles. Right, and r&d and technology and artificial intelligence. Well, they also found that you know, the small companies that invested in these intangibles meaning technology, ai data, that they were found to be more resilient, during COVID, as well. So started to think about how can an SMB win, right? What does it mean for an SMB to win in this war, where even the large companies are going after the footprint? that historically has been the small to medium business area meeting, where we expected more innovation and growth and new things to come out? So how can how can an SMB when I started looking at several sources, and one of those is a group called tech aisle, they had done this 2021 SMB challenges, right? What were the top 2021 SMB challenges, thing that was kind of unique about this is they broke it into three areas, one, the top 10, SMB issues. And then the next was to the top 10, mid market issues, and then three, the top 10, upper mid market, that's, you know, 1000 or more employees, okay, so they were doing that based on the size of the company, and the common thread across each of them. That were the issues, right, that the small to medium business owners facing in the areas of business issues, it priorities, and so forth.
The common thread across them, was increasing business growth and increasing profitability. So companies from the size of one employee up to 5000 employees, least according to tech dial, they said, Hey, number one issues is business growth and increasing profitability. Now those shifts are the little as you went is the size of the company grew. But nevertheless, they were on the top two across cross those three sizes. All right, so how am I going to win as an SMB? First of all, I got to take a look at increasing business growth, and increasing profitability. All right now, that's according to tech guy, let's look at another one. So Business News daily, they came up with 12, small business trends for 2021. And the net of it was, I think it was number two or three on their list of the 12 was AI and big data are driving personalization. And they go in to talk about, hey, how the large organizations are leveraging these technologies to create a more personalized experience. Alright, so that's the second second one that's confirming and hey, gotta grow and got to leverage the resources that you have that you know that that you have, let's look at the next one. This is from someone called SMB group. And they said, Hey, here's our top 10 2021 tech trends. The first two was, number one SMBs reinvent their businesses for a virtual world. And number two, the business performance gap between the SMB digital accelerators and laggards grow, what they're really saying is, hey, for those SMBs, that are taking advantage of technology and using it as a differentiator, are actually leapfrogging and getting ahead, and the AI and data usage fits squarely within that. So now we've got three different groups that are saying, hey, in terms of either challenges or trends or opportunities for the SMB space, we've got this situation where AI and data play a critical role in building a key differentiator for the business.
Let's look at another one. So I want I took a look at the guardian. And they had developed this piece on the state of small business and 2021. Now, the course for them, they talked about the uncertainty that's been created by COVID, that a lot of SMBs. As you know, we all face that. There's also an increase awareness of racial inequalities. And, in fact, in one of their examples, one business committed billions to help advance racial equality. With one of the programs adding I think they said 15,000 loans to small businesses that are in the black and Latin communities. How cool is that? I've also seen AI applied to demographics, to also help serve all communities even better. And I think that's a great way to look at using AI to help address this issue. Now, you know, the movement to cloud is certainly lowered the cost of entry for SMBs, to take advantage of these advanced technologies. But I thought, hey, let me go see if I can find some other evidence, right, if I wanted to take an SMB, and win the war, of all of the big organizations that are now leveraging some of the best techniques to actually keep their footprint and grow and make it more difficult for the SMB space, what else others have to say? So here's another one. I tracked down guidance, financial guidance, financials an interesting one, they had this really cool pictorial where they focused on the small business trends in 2021.
They I think it was like 2400 organizations, SMB companies that they surveyed, they came back and said, 78%, expect to survive, and 19 were unsure. So those are interesting, interesting stats. But when it came down to Hey, what were the things that cause a lot of problems? It was loss of revenue, or reduced budget or temporary closure? Those are the most five, you know, most common COVID impacts. But at the end of the day, it came back to, are we taking our resources and using them wisely? To get the insights to now compete more effectively? That was their takeaway? All right. Can you handle one more? Alright, let's let's just talk about one more, a group called Constant Contact, they looked at small business lessons for 2021. And just to summarize, in the top two, they summarize that the leverage the small business has to use its online marketing and tools was number one, and number two, collect and take action on your customer data. Of course, that comes right back to using AI to segment your mark your market and then go after those vital areas to create success. So that was what that five maybe that I looked across. I thought, Okay, that's enough to look at. And then I bumped into this one from Ernst and Young. This one's interesting, because they were talking about, hey, how do we bridge the gap between big and small businesses? Now they wrote this article from coming from the other direction, right? So the first five that I mentioned, were coming from the direction of Hey, what what what are the challenges I you know, that I face as an as an SMB owner, right? They came from that perspective, the E y one, Ernst and Young one came from the other direction, which is, hey, we're in working with the big companies, how can we be more like the small businesses, right? So they're actually peering the other direction? And what's interesting with this viewpoint, is of course, the ask the question, how do we help the companies, you know, that are big? How do we get them to start acting small?
Now, what is it about a small company that a big company would like, and of course, one of the things that you'll you'll notice right away is agility, right, they aspire to have the agility of an SMB. And in fact, according to a recent Innosight survey, they found that 50% of today's s&p 500 companies will no longer exist in 10 years. Holy smokes, that's amazing. So as a result, the larger businesses, they're creating their own internal innovation programs. And what they're doing is they've got this nice blend, this blend of large companies scale, mixed with a small company agility. And what that does is that actually makes it a little more challenging as an SMB owner to compete with that because well, you don't have the skill part, right, we don't have the skill part. So they're trying to be more like the small companies. They're trying to think like that. But you know, sometimes they get up, they get caught up, and you know, all of the minutia that takes for them to turn those big organizations around. So here's what I suggest. It now's the time to think about the key problems, then issues face your SMB and apply AI to efficiently innovate. So they're mimicking your best practices, and they're using AI to propel them. So the question is, then why wouldn't you continue your best practices?
Stop the bad ones, and then use AI to propel yourself. So the second thing in this Ernst and Young articles interesting is that they have developed a practice where they blend large corporate teams with small entrepreneurial teams. Again, they're looking to blend and bring together the big, you know, the small company agility with the big company scale. So when I started this particular podcast episode, I started by asking, Hey, way, how can SMBs win the war? And of course, you might ask yourself, what war? Well, the war is this, the big companies are leveraging the best practices of the small companies with the intent to maintain and grow their footprint, not as they're borrowing the best from the things that you've been doing? Well, so what do you need to do as an SMB owner? Well, I suggest apply some of the big company best practices, which includes leveraging your resources that you have by applying AI. And then here's the here's the trick. Make 10 Smart steps to improve your business before they can make one smart step. And by applying AI over and over again, actually builds your ability to move much more quickly, and get ahead of now, even the big guys are in the competition. Hi, everybody. Thanks for joining until next time, as was said in a Batman movie, I think, be mindful of your surroundings. In other words, get moving on your AI for your business so that today you can win the SMB war. Thanks for joining.
