Dr. Gautam Gulati is a physician entrepreneur and world-renowned keynote speaker focused on using unconventional and contrarian techniques to drive innovation in health.By being a "sponge to the world", Dr.G has an uncanny ability to identify problems, spot trends, and uncover patterns that most others miss.He uses a personal mantra called GO.BE.DO. to serve as a guiding filter for his life decisions - GO to interesting places, BE with interesting people, and DO interesting things. Dr. G chats with me about spotting trends as the "observation of the accelerated present" and innovation as the "uncommon arrangement of common ideas". We chat about the three characteristics of leaders found in most organizations who often resist change: the Chameleon, the Ostrich, and the Sea Squirt. This episode is packed full of actionable advice for leaders on how to create a culture of innovation. Using provocative stories, Dr. G shares with us a few contrarian techniques we can all apply to think differently as innovative leaders of our organizations - including what it means to live in our customers' reality, how to create small acts of meaning, and why we need to beware of the super chickens.
