Why does your boss repeat the same broken leadership model, despite seeing poor results? It's because many business models are simply a warm security blanket, absolving the CEO responsibility. Best-selling author, Roger Martin calls out bad leadership and explains how data can crush imagination. 

Martin is the former Dean of the Rotman School, best-selling author, the #1 Thinkers 50 for Management, and author of his newest book, A New Way To Think.

Topics in this show:

  • How do leaders get trapped in bad models to begin with? Did they ever work? (Nope!)
  • Why adopting models gives leaders an "out" from their failures. 
  • A symptom of a broken model is customer service repeating "that's just policy."
  • Why we must be cautious on how we interpret AI data to predict future models and how we risk limiting imagination. 
  • How the ridiculous hiring and firing cycle many large organizations use, stems from their organization of employees around roles but not projects.
