Why do companies ask employees to come up with innovations and then work hard to block it? Gary Klein, author of Seeing What Others Don’t and countless other books on decision-making, shares his research with host Dawna Jones about the value insights bring to companies, and how companies block innovation and work against themselves.

You’ll learn:

• What insights are and why they have such high value to business for innovation and solving wicked problems
• How Six Sigma and stamping out errors stamps out innovation
• Where insights come from and how you can recognize your insights
• How chains of command filter out insights and why no one person should have the right to veto an idea
• Why curiosity is better than counting errors and why celebrating being right is more effective than focusing on errors.

Gary Klein is a research psychologist famous for his work in pioneering the field of naturalistic decision-making. Among his books are Sources of Power and Intuition. In this interview we talk about his book, Seeing What Others Don't: The Remarkable Ways We Gain Insights. His keen observations and inquiry skills builds a bridge between theory and life.
