Description

What are the triggers, patterns, and conditions that set us up for failure?

Why are we voyeurs of depravity rather than students of dignity?

Why are good-hearted leaders not more successful?

These and other critical questions are addressed when transformation guru Ron Carucci joins The Rabbi and the Shrink.

1:45 The origins of truth, justice, and purpose

Why are good-hearted leaders not more successful?

Truth-telling makes all the difference

Tell the hero stories

Where does knowledge take us?  That is the road to wisdom

8:30 Why are we voyeurs of depravity rather than students of dignity?

Stories of heroes inspire heroism in us

11:00 Four preconditions for success

  1. Be true to who you are -- unfulfilled values are destructive
  2. Justice and accountability -- measuring intangible contributions with integrity
  3. Governance -- make decisions honestly and transparently
  4. Cross-functional relationships -- seamless cohesion and conflict resolution

If you’re good at all four, you’re 16 more likely to have a healthy and vibrant work culture

Honesty is not a trait, it’s a muscle

20:00 It’s so obvious, why don’t people get it?

Leaders believe these things will take care of themselves; THEY WON’T!

Good intentions are a good start, but design is what makes them happen

The Jewish triad of truth, justice, and kindness

Our brains are hardwired for these values, if we don’t short-circuit them

28:30 What’s one big first step?

Start with you: be honest about your dishonesty

Keep a journal of where your behavior needs improvement

What are the triggers, patterns, and conditions that set me up for failure?

32:00 The word of the day:  Casuistry (/ˈkæzjuɪstri/ KAZ-ew-iss-tree

a process of reasoning that seeks to resolve moral problems by extracting or extending theoretical rules from a particular case, and reapplying those rules to new instances. This method occurs in applied ethics and jurisprudence. 

Commonly used as a pejorative to criticize the use of clever but unsound reasoning, especially in relation to moral questions (as in sophistry)

Fact-driven decisions, not decision-driven facts
