KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM ANN:
1. No matter how you see yourself, people will see you how they want to. DEI matters because we all have something to contribute.
2. Flipping understanding– some people believe what they see is reality. Life experience colors us in different ways... we need to understand someone else's world as much as possible.
3. 5 pillars of collective intelligence: 1) listening with humility, 2) asking good and curious questions, 3)challenging assumptions, 4) disagreeing with respect and without retribution, and 5) widening the circle of empathy.
4. Leaders should not manage diversity but lead it. Build social sensitivity to build diverse teams which will make them even better because they may begin with challenges.
5. Collective intelligence is about being able to work together, not individual intelligence.
6. Psychological safety is needed to be a fundamental driver of learning at an organization. Good leaders talk about psychological safety.
7. Distinguish between Learning meetings vs. Decision meetings...learn and share before deciding.
