How does one achieve massive results? What does it take to be truly great?
We sat with global implementation expert Sir Michael Barber, Chair of Delivery Associates and LP & Advisor to Avalanche VC. Join us for a reflective conversation on our work together in the past and about accomplishing big goals and changing the world.
You can expect a wide-ranging conversation with historical and literary anecdotes, actionable advice, and honest takes.
In this episode, we cover:
* How to chair effective meetings
* Reflection on our time at Pearson Ventures. Was it an accomplishment?
* How do you create the right message to drive irreversibility?
* Building any significant venture is at least a ten-year journey
* How do you define accomplishment?
* Reflections on the original Avalanche thesis and what is obviously the future

We will mail a signed copy of Michael’s latest book, Accomplishment: How to Achieve Ambitious and Challenging Things, to the person who leaves and shares the most thoughtful comment.
