    Tom and I look at this book from Amy C. Edmondson, the pioneer of the field and explore how her findings can be applied in any team.

    Tom and I review arguably most of the influential books of the last decade: Frédéric Laloux’s Reinventing Organizations.

    Laloux makes the case not that we need more enlightened leaders, but that “we need something more: enlightened organizational structures and practices.”

    He asks whether a shift in consciousness can help us “invent a radically more soulful and purposeful way to run our businesses and nonprofits, schools and hospitals?”

    Why is there more chance we'll believe something if it's in a bold type face? Why are judges more likely to deny parole before lunch? Why do we assume a good-looking person will be more competent? The answer lies in the two ways we make choices: fast, intuitive thinking, and slow, rational thinking. 

    This iconic book reveals how our minds are tripped up by error and prejudice (even when we think we are being logical). Tom and I explore this book has helped us in business and life. 

    Thinking: Fast and Slow is a book that has simultaneously made an enormous impact in the fields of both psychology and economics. The research it covers helped earn co-author Kahneman a Noble prize.
