Episode 65: Bringing new thinking to how we work with Asmara Kazmi

What if we did something new every day?Could be something small like putting your socks on in the opposite order, or something huge like going skydiving in a chicken suit.This is what Asmara Kazmi has been doing for the past three years. Well, not the chicken suit part (I think), but she has been trying something new every day for over 1,000 days. And it’s given her a whole new perspective on life. And on how we should be running our businesses.Instead of thinking of companies as simply places to make money, she sees the potential for something much bigger. And better.Imagine if we created organizations that were medicine for a sick society.Bold? Yes. But so is skydiving in a chicken suit.If we follow through on Asmara’s vision, we can expect businesses to:🐱 Protect and encourage health in all forms: financial, personal, mental and structural🐱 Provide timely, tangible, transparent education🐱 Empower autonomy by providing meaningful engagement and support🐱 Avoid toxic systems that force individuals to internalize structural shortcomings within the organizationTLDR: We’ll desuckify work by putting trust in people to do more than they think they’re capable of.That would certainly be a new experience for most of us. Let’s follow Asmara’s lead and give it a try.You can follow Asmara on LinkedIn. And keep an eye out for her upcoming site, paradigmplayground.com.
