Al Pitampalli’s frustration with endless meetings and other things that don’t seem to have a purpose led to what he calls a meetings revolution. In this episode we discuss his experience as one of Seth Godin’s first alternative MBA students, publishing a book with the domino project and why we must learn to become persuadable…that’s right not persuasive, but persuadable, and how this enables us to spread ideas.

The importance of continually asking why
Learning to explore our hidden assumptions
The power of thinking backwards
Why certain ideas are inherently spreadable
The meetings epidemic in organizational culture
Advantages of becoming more persuadable
Dissecting and understanding our models of the world

Quotes

When you want to change the world, the most dangerous thing can do is being unpersuadable
