Don’t Overthink It

from Leader's Edge Hosted by A Council Platform

As life grows increasingly complex, exemplified today by the risk and promise of artificial intelligence, it can be easy to become frozen with overthinking about the next steps, says author Daniel Pink. But sometimes life demands more action and less analysis, he believes. Speaking to Leader’s Edge Editor in Chief Sandy Laycox and Podcast Producer Zach Ewell at The Council’s Operations Leadership Forum, Pink talks through different ways to approach our lives during this “fricking weird” state of the world. From figuring out how to stay motivated without false optimism, writing down the things we want to stop doing, or learning how to give better feedback, Pink shares useful and well-researched advice for daily life.
