THiNK

A resume tells you what someone has done. Attitude defines what that person is capable of doing next. Hiring is hard because it takes time to understand how someone performs in uncertainty, navigates constraints and responds under pressure.

In this week’s episode of THiNK, we explore how businesses can think differently about hiring. We look beyond the traditional emphasis on experience and explore other lenses through which to think about who has the potential to perform.

Agreement is passive; it is easy to sit in a room and agree with people. It is also easy to sense the direction of a conversation and mould your thinking around what others want to hear. Agreement therefore is the act of prioritising cohesion and social capital over independent thought.

In this week's episode of THiNK, we discuss the difference between agreement and alignment. Agreement is often seen as a positive signal because it creates the illusion that the business is moving as one and that there is consensus around ideas. But agreement and alignment are different.

Empowerment is one of the most misunderstood ideas in leadership. The confusion begins with the assumption that empowerment and freedom are interchangeable.

In this week’s episode of THiNK, we unpack the difference between empowerment and freedom and explore the idea of 'degrees of empowerment'. We look at how, when this framework is understood and lived within a business, it can create greater clarity around where people have autonomy and responsibility, and in turn create the conditions for stronger performance.

There are always critical ideas and important ideas. Some ideas are important, but few are critical and treating them as though they deserve the same time and effort is poor judgement.

In this week’s episode of THiNK, we discuss how there is no such thing as competing priorities. Prioritisation by definition requires us to rank options; it forces us to choose what comes first and accept that other work will receive less attention.

We have all had those situations where we do not want to ask the question because we do not want to hear the response. We use avoidance as a way to buy ourselves time.

In this episode, we discuss how this tactic delays access to important information that could help us make the next best decision.

Innovation is a concept that is viewed and understood in retrospect. In this episode, we reframe innovation by the accumulation of actions that made an outcome possible. In this context, it is not a single act of genius; it is the decision to keep showing up, to remain positively dissatisfied with the status quo and to take the next best step without knowing exactly where it will lead.

This week, we explore the idea of reframing mistakes. Ambition and mistakes are two sides of the same coin, so if you are trying to build something, change something or step beyond what you already know, mistakes are part of the learning process.

In this episode, we explore why mistakes are often the beginning of better thinking, revealing what we could not yet see and helping us learn what to do next.

This week, we explore the idea of having strong conviction, held loosely. It is a conversation about forming a clear view with enough confidence to act, while staying flexible enough to challenge and evolve that view as reality changes.

This week, we explore the idea that data is a perspective and how it does not show reality in full. It shows what a business has chosen, consciously or unconsciously, to pay attention to. So while data can appear objective, it is often more subjective than we realise. The real value comes when data informs thinking, rather than replacing it.
