Subscribe to my newsletter: https://danielpink.substack.com/Uploaded 18-07-26In October 2005, a soccer player took a microphone into a locker room and said something that changed his country.I've been thinking about that moment all month, because as I watched the World Cup unfold across North America, I kept noticing things that had nothing to do with the score. So this video is about three things I learned — about bias, about joy, and about how quickly "them" can become "us." It turns out the world's biggest sporting event might be the world's best mirror.--To find out more about Daniel Pink, his books, and view his resources, visit https://danpink.com Learn more about your ad choices.
