À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
You don't have to fix what failed you. You can build what frees you.
In this episode of How We Future, Lisa Kay Solomon and Nilofer Merchant talk about Nilofer’s new book, Our Best Work, and why to question the invisible norms that are limiting the way we work and lead.
Nilofer argues that many of the ways we measure work today focus on what has already happened—revenue, productivity, efficiency—rather than the leading indicators that tell us whether we’re actually doing the work needed to create a better future.
In this conversation, Lisa and Nilofer explore:
- Expanding our definition of intelligence to include intuition, context, synthesis, vulnerability, and the unique perspectives each person brings.
- The difference between actually helping people grow or simply making ourselves feel helpful.
- Building trust through integrity, where our actions consistently match our words.
- Walking toward the unknown without needing to know the entire path ahead.
What are you spending your energy trying to fix that you could instead imagine and begin building differently?
