Idea to Value - Creativity and Innovation with Nick Skillicorn


May 21, 2020

In today's episode of the Idea to Value Podcast, we speak again with David Burkus about his new audiobook: Pick a Fight.

See the full episode at https://wp.me/p6pllj-1sQ 

We speak about why underdogs do so well, and what it takes to get your team to rally behind a cause.

Topics covered in today's episode:

  • 00:01:45 - People don't want to join a company, they want to join a crusade
  • 00:02:30 - What are you fighting for?
  • 00:05:30 - The three types of fights that a company can choose from: Revolutionary Fight (like Ellevest), Underdog Fight (like Netflix) and Ally Fight (like WD40)
  • 00:14:30 - Being an underdog appears to make you more creative, as shown by research by Samir Nurmohamed
  • 00:18:00 - The story of the Netflix HR document, which shows how you need to allow people to do their best work
  • 00:22:00 - Leaders don't need to develop a vision, it is about describing the vision which already exists in the people

Quote from the episode:

How to find out the purpose of your organisation, ask these two questions of your people:

What do we do here?

How does what you do help us do that?
