Key takeaways — The Righteous Mind
- ✓ Gamitin ang Theory of Moral Foundations sa pagpapalago ng kultura ng iyong organisasyon, tiyaking umaayon ang misyon nito sa anim na pangunahing halaga ng tao upang mas mapalakas ang suporta ng mga empleyado.
- ✓ Unahin ang Elepante (Intuwisyon) sa iyong estratehikong komunikasyon, alamin na tatanggapin lamang ng tao ang iyong mga lohikal na argumento (Rider) kung nakakaramdam sila ng emosyonal na pagkakaugnay sa iyong layunin.
- ✓ Paigtingin ang Hive-Level Cooperation sa iyong koponan gamit ang mga karaniwang simbolo at laban, tulad ng mga suliranin sa merkado, na sumasalamin sa likas na pang-agham na drive ng tao para sa kolektibong moral na pagkilos.
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.
