Experiments or goals? (And a book update)
Goals are a helpful tool for predictable tasks. (Like writing a book, for instance.) But they're inappropriate for unpredictable work. Instead of creating goals (which put achievement at the centre), consider setting experiments (which put learning at the centre).
Your bullies
What if the thing that you were bullied for at school is actually your superpower? By bringing our shame out of the shadow, we can make it easier for people to build trust and collaborate effectively. Are you ready to dig a little deeper?
I'm writing a book!
As the world becomes increasingly complex and uncertain, you may find your well-thought-out plans keep being tossed out of the window. We need a more enabling and adaptive leadership style today than ever before. Facilitation offers leaders a practice for effecting change, built on the wisdom and power of groups. Today I'm excited (and mildly terrified) to announce I'm writing a book about all that and more!
Introducing "Lab Notes"
Many of us are conditioned to view experiments as something done in a lab, under controlled conditions. But experimentation is critical for our organisations, communities and societies. We need to combine the best of analytical planning with the curiosity of experimentation. And that's a core belief behind Lab Notes, my new newsletter.
