  • Episode #226: The Hidden Power of Networks with David Burkus

    In this episode of Future Squared, I welcome back DAVID BURKUS, named one of the world’s top business thought leaders by Thinkers50 last year.

     

    His forthcoming book, FRIEND OF A FRIEND, offers readers a new perspective on how to grow their networks and build key connections—one based on the science of human behavior, not rote networking advice. He is also the author of UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT and THE MYTHS OF CREATIVITY. David is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review and his work has been featured in Fast Company, the Financial Times, Inc magazine, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, and CBS This Morning.

     

    David’s innovative views on leadership have earned him invitations to speak to leaders from a variety of organizations. He’s delivered keynote speeches and workshops for Fortune 500 companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Stryker and governmental and military leaders at the U.S. Naval Academy and Naval Postgraduate School. His TED talk has been viewed over 1.7 million times.

     

    When he’s not speaking or writing, David is in the classroom. He is associate professor of leadership and innovation at Oral Roberts University where he was recently named one of the nation’s “Top 40 Under 40 Professors Who Inspire.”

     

    I enjoyed reconnecting with David and learned a lot, some of which I applied the day after the interview with positive results.

     

    You’ll learn:

    • Why the best way to grow your network might not be by introducing yourself to  strangers at cocktail parties, but by finding strength in weak ties
    • Why the biggest opportunities lie, not inside tight knit communities or clusters, but in between them; and
    • And how to 10x the effectiveness of your warm introduction requests

     

    With that, welcome back to the show... 220 episodes later, the one and only, David Burkus.

  • Episode #224: The Science of Lean, DevOps and Building High Performing Organisations with Nicole Forsgren

    Today, I am speaking with Nicole Forsgren.

    Nicole is an IT impacts expert who is best known for her work with tech professionals and as the lead investigator on the largest DevOps studies to date. She is a consultant, expert, and researcher in knowledge management, IT adoption and impacts, and DevOps. In a previous life, she was a professor, sysadmin, and hardware performance analyst. Nicole has been awarded public and private research grants (funders include NASA and the NSF), and her work has been featured in various media outlets, peer-reviewed journals, and conferences. She holds a PhD in management information systems and a master’s degree in accounting. Nicole is CEO and Chief Scientist at DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA).

     

    Her first book, Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps explores the topic of Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations.

     

    I had a great time chatting with Nicole and learning about, not only her Swedish ancestry, her favorite ice cream flavour and her love for working out - which might have something to do with the ice cream, but learning more about what makes a high performing team tick.

     

    You will learn lots in this conversation, including:

    1. Why traditional performance measurement metrics such as utilisation and lines of code are flawed and what to use instead
    2. What characteristics differentiate high performing teams from low performing team and how to start embedding these characteristics into your organisation; and
    3. How to effectively drive culture change

     

    This just scratches the surface of what we discussed so please sit back, walk, run or whatever it is you do when you listen to podcasts and enjoy my conversation with Nicole Forsgren.

     

    Topics Discussed:

    • What DevOps is and why it matters
    • Waterfall and stage gate versus agile and DevOps
    • Why speed is fundamental to success
    • The research behind the book
    • What differentiates high performers from low performers
    • How to effectively measure performance
    • Flaws in common measurement approaches
    • Maturity models v capability models
    • Change advisory boards
    • How to do QA in a fast-moving team
    • Breaking down silos
    • The power of cross functional, self organised teams
    • How to drive culture change
    • Continuous delivery
    • How to build a truly engaged organisation
    • How to avoid burnout
    • Simple things companies can do to transition

  • Episode #222: The Case Against Education with Bryan Caplan

    Bryan Caplan is Professor of Economics at George Mason University.

    He is the author of The Myth of the Rational Voter which was named "the best political book of the year" by the New York Times, he wrote Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids, and the newly released, The Case Against Education: Why the Education System Is a Waste of Time and Money, which forms the basis of today’s conversation.

    He is currently collaborating with Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal Zach Weinersmith on All Roads Lead to Open Borders, a nonfiction graphic novel on the philosophy and social science of immigration, and writing a new book, Poverty: Who To Blame.

    His work has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, American Economic Review, Economic Journal, Journal of Law and Economics, and Intelligence, and appeared on ABC, Fox News, MSNBC, and C-SPAN.

     

    We went an inch deep and a mile wide in this conversation. Discover why:

    • Bryan, a celebrated career academic himself, thinks that the education system is a waste of time and money
    • How today’s education system teaches for short-term memory retention, not comprehension
    • Two solutions Bryan has proposed to help solve the problems with today’s education system

     

    I didn’t agree with Bryan on a number of topics, namely, he seems to completely disregard the threat of technology and automation on employment, suggesting that there is a lack of evidence on this and using the fact that we’ve always created more jobs than we’ve destroyed in the past to forecast the future of employment. The thing about the past is that we never had technology like the kind we possess today and the kind we’ll possess in the near future.

     

    He also says that people can’t learn how to learn. On the latter point, I suspect that this had more to do with the way I framed the question so as to not elicit the response I was expecting. A simple example of getting better at learning is teaching someone else what you’ve read in a book, rather than just reading the words on a page. This is more likely to aid comprehension and retention, at least in the short term.

     

    Nonetheless, as you’ll hear Bryan suggest in the lightning round, it’s important to collect evidence and opinions from different fields, from different people, to get all sides of the story and challenge your own belief system and avoid confirmation bias. This is one of the reasons why I enjoy hosting this show so much - because I get to interview and speak with experts in their own fields who contradict experts in other fields - it forces me to expand my own view of the world.

    And when it comes to learning, Socrates was right, the more we know, the more we know that we don’t know. And that is why we keep learning. And that is why I keep interviewing thought leaders across a range of disciplines.

    With that, enjoy today’s conversation on the case against education with Bryan Caplan.

     

    Topics Discussed:

    • Why the education system is a waste of time and money
    • Why College grads earn more than high school grads, on average, in the US
    • Learning skills versus signalling employability
    • The three traits that education signals
    • Whether education and entrepreneurship go hand in hand
    • Social desirability bias
    • Summer learning loss
    • Comprehension v Memory
    • The threat of AI and automation on employment and how this impacts education
    • Education ecosystem challenges
    • Vocational learning
    • Education spending cuts

  • Episode #221: Amplify Your Introduction Requests

    If you’re asking for a warm introduction to somebody, you might do what I’ve done successfully a number of times, which is to browse your contact’s LinkedIn connections, find people of interest and then reach out with a connection request. However, when your contact has thousands of connections, this can become quite the task, nor is there any way to find out just how well connected they are to these people - I often get the response “oh, I don’t actually really know the person of interest”, as is the case with most social networks.

    Find out what to ask instead in today's instalment of Fast Fix Friday.

    2. What our limit breakers are
    3. How to expand those limits
    4. Which is better high fat diets or carbo loading
    5. And also, a number of memorable stories of human triumph over self imposed walls.

     

    Topics discussed:

    • Alex’s definition of endurance
    • Mind over matter: is it that simple?
    • What our tangible limit breakers are
    • The story of Tom Boyle lifting a car of an injured bicycle rider

    • Which neural characteristics separate elite endurance athletes from the rest of us
    • The power of belief effects versus placebo effects
    • Nike’s ‘Breaking 2’ campaign

  • Episode #218: Virtual Reality with Jeremy Bailenson

    Jeremy Bailenson is founding director of Stanford University’s Virtual Human Interaction Lab and a Faculty Leader at Stanford’s Center for Longevity. He earned a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology from Northwestern University.

     

    Bailenson studies the psychology of Virtual Reality (VR) and has been in the space of VR since 1999, in particular he studies how virtual experiences lead to changes in perceptions of self and others. His lab builds and studies systems that allow people to meet in virtual space, and explores the changes in the nature of social interaction. His most recent research focuses on how VR can transform education, environmental conservation, empathy, and health.

     

    He’s just penned his second book, Experience on Demand: What Virtual Reality Is, How It Works, and What It Can Do, which forms the basis for our conversation.

     

    Expect to learn a number of things in this show, including:

    • What some of the applications for virtual reality are, including how it might be used to quell biases and reshape a person’s worldview
    • What some of the risks and potential downsides might be and as such, what virtual reality companies need to be thinking about
    • How far away we are from mainstream adoption

     

    Topics discussed:

    • Superbowl Sunday
    • How VR can be used to hone our imagination, make us more empathic, improve our performance, improve learning and recover from trauma
    • Different applications for VR
    • Potential risks and downsides
    • Why VR is not an ‘either or’ proposition
    • How VR can help us better understand biases to help with creative work
    • Challenges to mainstream adoption and parallels to the past
    • How Jeremy is using VR to train NFL teams and the German national football team

  • Episode #217: How to Have More FInishing Kicks to Increase your Productivity

    I recently interviewed Alex Hutchinson, author of Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance.

    Almost a decade ago, Ross Tucker and his colleagues at the University of Cape Town published a striking graph showing the average pacing strategies in men’s middle- and long-distance track world records over the past century:

    The patterns are remarkably consistent. In the 5,000 and 10,000 meters, the first and last parts of the race are the fastest—of the 66 records set in the modern era in these two events, only once (Paul Tergat in 1997) has any kilometer other than the first or last been the fastest.

    Alex calls this tendency to speed up as we approach the finishing line ‘the finishing kick’, and it can be found not only in endurance sports, but weightlifting, and if you look closely enough, the workplace.
