Innovative Thinking Workshop
Every week on Tuesday
Description
Develop Innovative Thinking Skills and Embrace Lean Principles
This routine focuses on:
- Challenging the status quo
- Embracing failure as a learning opportunity
- Applying lean thinking to problem-solving
- Fostering a culture of continuous improvement
# Seth Godin on Leadership vs Management
World-renowned marketing and leadership author Seth Godin discusses the difference between leadership and management, the confusion surrounding them, and why the world needs more leaders.
# Key Points:
- Management works well for increasing economic efficiency and productivity. However, in the face of rapid change, the world needs leadership to navigate unprecedented transformation.
- Strive for excellence. Producing something truly great is the only way to build competitive advantage, as sophisticated robots, AI, and low-paid labor will handle quality assurance.
- Focus on "soft skills" (actually "real skills"). These characteristics differentiate potential employees from robots.
- Effective leadership helps companies navigate difficulties and failures, eventually finding successful processes to move forward.
# Questions to Consider:
- How can you become more of a leader than a manager?
- How can you and your organization strive for excellence instead of just quality?
- Are you focusing on real skills?
- How can you make better processes to fail more efficiently?
