Strong Ground

Brene Brown’s latest book, Strong Ground, shares with readers several new lessons Brene and her team have learned from coaching leadership teams in some of the world’s largest companies. One is that we need to be more adaptive to change than before, being willing to challenge our prior assumptions about what the future will (or should) look like. We need to be more aware of the biases that can creep up in our daily decision making, including confirmation bias, desirability bias, and cognitive priming (thanks Kahneman and Tversky!). Moreover, it’s important that we become aware of our increasing need for digital intentionality around time blocking and context switching. These are just a few of the lessons presented in this book, if you are interested.
