So Crazy, It Might Just Work: How to Foster Innovation That Will Change an Organization, with Bill Barnett
If we want to seriously address the climate crisis, then we need to encourage foolish business ideas.When it comes to seemingly impossible problems like the climate crisis, Professor William Barnett says we need to reach for equally impossible solutions — ideas so crazy, they just might work. “Foolishness,” he says, “is the price of genius.”A professor of organizational behavior at Stanford Graduate School of Business and a professor at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability, Barnett is equally interested in how organizations produce innovation. According to him, organizations need to embrace failure as a stepping s...

You're In Control: How and When AI Can Be a Powerful Decision-Making Tool, with Kuang Xu
If we can manage our emotions about AI, then it can be a powerful decision-making tool. Artificial intelligence’s surge in power and accessibility has inspired polarized reactions. Some people are flocking to the technology with feverish excitement. Others can’t stay far enough away. Yet according to Kuang Xu, both of these responses might be the wrong ones."When people hear ‘AI,’ their brain kind of shuts down,” says Kuang, an associate professor of operations, information, and technology at Stanford Graduate School of Business. Whether someone feels exhilarated by the possibilities of AI or terrified by...

Introducing the If/Then podcast from Stanford GSB
If/Then is a new podcast from the Stanford Graduate School of Business that we think will be of great interest to Grit & Growth listeners. This episode features Stanford GSB Professor Jonathan Levav analyzing the premise, “If we want to generate better ideas, then we need to get people back to the office.”To Zoom or not to Zoom? That is the question on many leaders’ minds, nearly four years after the COVID-19 pandemic emptied offices around the world. While remote work has become the new normal, Jonathan Levav, Professor of Marketing at Stanford GSB, believes video confer...

Navigating Workplace Power Dynamics, with Deborah H. Gruenfeld
If we want to change power structures, then we need to understand the animal forces that drive our behavior.As Stanford Graduate School of Business professor of organizational behavior Deborah H. Gruenfeld observes, wherever there are humans, there are hierarchies. “People have a tendency to form hierarchies almost instantly in all kinds of organizational settings, whether the task requires it or not,” she says.Gruenfeld says our actions are still very much steered by primal drives. She unpacks this in the inaugural episode of If/Then: Business, Leadership, Society.“One of the ways in whi...

Zoom In... or Out? When Face-to-Face Meetings Matter Most, with Jonathan Levav
If we want to generate better ideas, then we need to get people back to the office.Jonathan Levav, a professor of marketing at Stanford Graduate School of Business, details his study of remote work and creativity. “Pairs that worked face-to-face generated 15 to 20% more ideas than pairs that worked on Zoom,” he notes. What’s more, in-person brainstorming helped people consider a wider and more diverse range of possibilities. “Working on Zoom was a double penalty. Fewer ideas — and a narrower set of ideas.”Remote work may be the new normal in our post-pandemic world, but Levav ca...

#45 - Rekord GSB to praca zespołowa - rozmowa z supportem Kamila Leśniaka
GSB, czyli Główny Szlak Beskidzki, to ostatnimi laty popularna arena zmagań nie tylko górskich wędrowców, ale także biegaczy - ultrasów. Ci drudzy co rusz starają się śrubować rekord pokonania tego szlaku. Jeszcze 10 lat temu, najszybsza próba pokonania GSB oscylowała w granicach 115h i należała do Maćka Więcka. Obecnie nie dość, że rekordowy czas przejścia zszedł poniżej 100h, to jeszcze jego obecny „posiadacz” - Kamil Leśniak - uważa, że da się to zrobić nawet w 80 godzin!

Jon Levin has been teaching at Stanford for more than 20 years, and has been the dean of the famous Graduate School of Business since 2016. Although teaching at Stanford puts him in contact with some of the most promising future entrepreneurs in tech, he says he hasn’t yet been tempted to leave academia for a startup because “I actually love being part of an institution that’s gonna be around for hundreds of years.” As public trust in institutions has eroded in recent years, Jon and his colleagues have had to make changes. For example: Proactively challenging GSB students to think...
