Just Ask Leadership - Has a 2X Multiple to increase engagement and alignment


Dan Ariel speaks about his book Predictably Irrational - a great book if you have not yet read it. He describes in this video behavioral economics. Another way to describe this is the science of behavior that the business world has not yet adapted. Dan Ariel shows us how humans continue to see things in one way and make decisions on those observations even when they are wrong. In Just Ask Leadership Assessment CO2 Partners has discovered that leaders who lead from a belief of not knowing verses that of knowing have a multiple of two times that of engagement of their team and their teams alignment. Another words if the leader suspends their belief in their way of knowing what to do and allow others to participate or make the decisions they will increase performance. How does this relate to Dan Ariel's work, often leaders struggle to suspend their belief in knowing - thinking that they really do have the right answer. Dan Ariel's work really helps leaders understand that what they believe is true is not always actually true.
