Sunday Pick: Why you should get good at being bad | Fixable
Manage episode 488827056 series 1486261
Sometimes the only way to win is by finding the courage to lose. This week, Anne and Frances want you to “dare to be bad” in order to free up capacity to excel at more important things. They share insight on the power of strategic “no”s, the value of ruthless prioritization, and how Steve Jobs and Apple delivered breakthrough innovation by strategically underperforming. Frances explains why you can’t always trust your own instincts, and Anne reflects on the lessons she learned in her early days of parenting.
What problems are you dealing with at work? Text or call 234-FIXABLE or email fixable@ted.com to be featured on the show.
