Synopsis
Having built businesses through multiple economic crises, natural disasters, restrictive and changing policies and regulations, and bouncing back from a life-threatening accident, Azran shares his experiences of harnessing resilience and curiosity to lead teams during turbulence and volatility.
Our brains perceive crises as threats to our survival. It desperately seeks familiar patterns. This leads to cognitive biases where we decide and act based on what we intuitively believe to work. Past successes can limit our ability to challenge these fixed beliefs and be open to new ideas.
Understand the differences between necessary levels of stress to perform at our peak, and how prolonged stress can lead to depression and anxiety that hinders us from being calm, curious and energetic – key crisis leadership traits. Learn practices that strengthen these traits within us, how we build a high-energy team and four practices to embed curiosity and resilience into Board meetings.
Session Summary
“Life is not about avoiding risks, but about picking yourself up.”
“Past successes create limiting beliefs.”
“The question we should ask is not why a situation has gone wrong, but how we can prevent it from happening again.”
“Knowledge alone is not enough to make us change. We learn by doing, not by planning.”
“Speed is the only sustainable advantage.”
