Listen Later

IN EPISODE 157:
Uncertainty isn't a sign of weakness. It's a signal of wisdom. In Episode 157, Maggie Jackson explores why uncertainty can actually lead to better individual and team outcomes, as well as more creativity, stronger bonds and a drive to investigate and question. We discuss the benefits of being unsure, the limits of mental shortcuts, why uncertainty spurs collaboration, and when it's unhelpful to be unsure. The best mind is an open mind -- and after listening to Maggie, you'll open yourself up to possibilities you may never have considered.
