Dr. Pippa Malmgren — Why Leadership Has Gone Wrong (EP.167)
Infinite Loops
The Importance of Asking the Right Questions
We take what we believe as real and as factual. And why shouldn't that apply to us? The whole point as Feynman points out is about asking the right questions. It's not this body of knowledge. We love burning them, stoning them. G.K. Chesterton has a wonderful little book called Orthodoxy. But yes, we buy into these orthodoxies.
Dr. Pippa Malmgren is an economist, founder, keynote speaker & award-winning author. She served President George W. Bush as Special Assistant to the President and on the National Economic Council. She was responsible for financial market issues during the Enron crisis, and was responsible for assessing terrorism risks to the economy after 9/11. She has also advised the US Cabinet. Dr. Pippa’s most recent book, the Infinite Leader, won the International Press Award for the Best Book on Leadership for 2021.
