Episode 7: It's Like Jedi Mind Tricks

Are you familiar with the latin phrase Nos Tatus Quo? You will be after listening to this episode. You’ll also be familiar with Brian Brooks, a guy who likes to learn things. He’s not a reader–reading puts him to sleep–but he loves audio books. More than that, he loves to apply the things he learns from those audio books in his daily life as a senior manager in a Fortune 100 company. For example, when he found out he’s going to be managing a new team in a few weeks, he put the advice in Michael Watkins’ The First 90 Days to immediate use and created a 90 day plan. Brian also loves feedback, so he crowdsourced his 90 day plan on LinkedIn. But what happens if you get feedback you don’t agree with? What happens if it hurts? There’s a barrage of advice in episode 7 and a brand new hashtag movement.
