Description
The first episode of The Knowledge Project features Michael Mauboussin, the head of Global Financial Strategies at Credit Suisse. He's also written numerous books, including More Than You Know: Finding Financial Wisdom in Unconventional Places,Think Twice: Harnessing the Power of Counterintuition, and most recentlyThe Success Equation: Untangling Skill and Luck in Business, Sports, and Investing. More importantly, Mauboussin spends more time thinking about thinking than most people. In this inaugural episode, we explore: How Michael structures his day (and which elements are absolutely essential to fit in no matter what’s on his plate) How “chunking” his time when performing tasks seems to result in a more productive day What role intuition plays in making big decisions and when it should be minimized How deliberate practice can help hone our intuition so we can lean on it when it matters How to audit your decision making process so you continually get better Effective ways to challenge the status quo in your organization, even if you’re at the bottom of the totem pole Tools and methods Michael uses with his children to encourage them to think for themselves How technology affects our decision making processes both positively and negatively The books that most influenced Michael’s life and why they mean so much to him And much more. I hope you enjoy this new format of learning the best of what others have already figured out. *** For comprehensive show notes on this episode, including a full edited transcript, go to https://www.fs.blog/podcast/ My free weekly Brain Food digest helps you upgrade your thinking.
