432: How Creativity Rules the World with Maria Brito

by

Many people believe—maybe you are one of them—that you’re either born creative or you’re not. Today’s guest suggests that nothing could be further from the truth.

Why is it a room full of school children will say “yes” to the question of whether or not they’re creative, and demonstrate it in myriad ways, only for those that answer similarly to drop dramatically as they age?

I would argue, in part, it’s because school educates out of us our creativity as it forces us all into the same mold (or else).

If that’s you, never fear. You can get it back. Maria Brito, author of How Creativity Rules the World: The Art and Business of Turning Your Ideas Into Gold, illustrates how creativity is merely a series of habits, actions, and attitudes that anyone can develop—regardless of who you are and what you do.

There has never been, she says, a more crucial time than now to develop your creativity and your ability to innovate. Coming up with original ideas of value is today’s most precious resource.

430: The Secret Society of Success with Tim Schurrer

by

My good friend Jody Maberry, who interviewed me about my book back in Episode #385, recently reached out about introducing me to a young man who’s just published his own new book.

His name is Tim Schurrer and he is the author of The Secret Society of Success: Stop Chasing the Spotlight and Learn to Enjoy Your Work (and Life) Again.

Tim says there’s a message getting a lot of airtime these days. It’s a message that says, to be successful, you have to step into the spotlight, climb the ladder, become the boss, or chase whatever version of success that’s been dangled in front of you.

But what if, Tim asks, there’s another way? What if fame, money, and power aren’t all that we should be chasing?

In his new book, Tim invites you to reevaluate your definition of success and learn a new, freer way to go about achieving it. How do you learn this approach? With the Secret Society as your guide—a community of people who know how to make an impact, whether they have the spotlight or not.

426: A New Way to Think with Roger Martin

by

This episode marks the third week in a row I’ve welcomed a university professor (or former professor). First Harvard, then Yale, and today’s guest, formerly of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. I feel smarter just having been around them these last few weeks.

roger martin

That guest today is making a returning visit to us. His name is Roger L. Martin and his latest book (his 13th) is called A New Way to Think: Your Guide to Superior Management Effectiveness.

Over a stellar career, Roger has advised the CEOs of some of the world’s most successful companies.

From the beginning, he noted that almost every executive he talked to had a “model”—a framework or way of thinking that guided their strategy and activities. But these models tended to become automatic, so much so that when one didn’t work, the typical response was just to apply it again—with greater enthusiasm.

Reading like a series of one-on-one sessions with one of the world’s leading business thinkers, A New Way to Think is an essential guide for any current or aspiring business leader.

423: How to Grow Your People to Grow Your Company with Whitney Johnson

by

When a guest who’s been on the podcast more than any other guest recommends another author to you, your ears perk up quite bit.

Whitney Johnson

That was the case for me when four-time guest Liz Wiseman suggested I meet author Whitney Johnson.

I am so thankful to Liz for that introduction because her new book came to me at just the right time. It’s called Smart Growth: How to Grow Your People to Grow Your Company, and it’s a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller.

Growth is a goal, Whitney says.

Helping people develop their potential—enabling them to articulate can become the self they want to be, are capable of being, and that best serves them and others in the short and long-term—is what we as individuals and leaders strive toward. 

But how do we grow? It turns out it happens in a predictable way, which means we can understand where we are in our growth and chart a way forward.

As individuals grow, so do organizations and societies. Growth is learning put into action—action that betters the world as we better ourselves and our small niches, both personal and professional, within it. Growth occurs when learning is internalized—when we try something new and invest the effort to move it from being something we do to something we are.
