Key takeaways — The Five Dysfunctions of a Team
- ✓ Magpatibay ng Vulnerability-Based Trust sa pamamagitan ng pagiging bukas sa iyong mga kahinaan, na siyang pundasyon para sa lahat ng susunod na antas ng pagganap at pagtutulungan ng koponan.
- ✓ Hikayatin ang Produktibong Pagkakaiba-iba sa mga ideya, na may pagkakaunawa na ang kawalan ng debate ay palatandaan ng 'Artificial Harmony' na nagtatago ng malalim na problema sa organisasyon at mahihirap na desisyon.
- ✓ Siguraduhin ang Pantay na Pananagutan sa pamamagitan ng pagpapahintulot sa mga kasapi ng koponan na tawagin ang isa't isa sa kanilang pagganap at asal, na nakakabawas sa pangangailangan ng palagiang interbensyon ng tagapamahala.
Key takeaways — The Big Short
- ✓ Bigyang-priyoridad ang First-Hand Data Investigation, upang ang pinakamalalaking estratehikong taya ng iyong organisasyon ay nakabase sa totoong kalagayan ng 'Underlying Assets' sa halip na sa opinyon ng mga rating agencies o eksperto.
- ✓ Palakasin ang Contrarian Bravery, na kinikilala na ang pinakamalalaking oportunidad sa estratehiya ay madalas mangangailangan ng iyong pagtayo mag-isa at pagtaya laban sa 'Kolektibong Pagkabulag' ng merkado.
- ✓ Unawain ang Kapahamakan ng Kabalintunaan bilang Pagtatago, na nauunawaan na kapag ang isang produktong pinansyal o modelo ng negosyo ay masyadong komplikado upang madaling maipaliwanag, madalas nitong tinatago ang systemic fragility at panganib.
