Here are some key takeaways from this episode:

Why You Should Think of Your Employee Resource Group as a Lab

I discuss why it’s useful to think of your employee resource group as a lab:

“When I think of a lab, I think of a place where people do research, perform experiments or measure things in general.   This extends beyond old school thinking and is more creative”

Why your processes should differ for reversible decisions and non-reversible decisions

I explain why reversible decisions don’t need to be made the same way as irreversible decisions:

“Reversible decisions are doors that open both ways. Two-way doors you can walk in and out of”

Why You Should Run Social Experiments for Things that Truly Matter

I explain how a Professor suggests that if your decisions are reversible and matter then you should run experiments:

“These are the social experiments I’m talking about or you could even do pilot studies for initiatives to cultivate developmental relationships, preparing employees for their appraisals, anything “
