Hacking Humans, with Peter Smyth - Part 2

In Part 2 - ‘Hacking Humans’, we fold in the next layer of our conversation with Peter Smyth.

This time, Drago and I enjoy hearing his modus operandi for understanding people and culture…

· ‘Thinking in bets’, and how life is far more poker than chess

· How great insight boils down to great people illuminating the opportunity ahead…

· Balancing gut instinct vs. ‘what the data is saying’, both-ism and the art of integrated thinking (why the separation between art and science?)

· Case-study writing: how the reality of the work isn’t captured by a template for linear thinking

· Managing people: applying parenting principles, the importance of encouraging ‘self-agency’ and instilling not only motivation – but creating opportunities to initiate change

Plus a selection of thought-provoking books, namely:

· Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don't Have All the Facts, Annie Duke

· Cognitive Surplus, Clay Shirky

· The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbell
