Episode notes
Work From Home & Echo Chambers
- Work-from-home can create echo chambers, limiting exposure to diverse perspectives.
- This isolation may lead to increased polarization and siloed thinking.
Meeting Check-ins
- Start meetings with check-ins to foster connection and understand the "room's" dynamics.
- Identify common themes, outliers, and what's left unsaid for deeper insight.
Creating Conditions for Change
- Create conditions for change instead of direct intervention.
- Small nudges, like changing your environment or seeking support, are better for change in complex systems.
