Hal Gregersen: Senior Lecturer in Innovation and Leadership at MIT & Bestselling Author

Hal Gregersen, bestselling author and Senior Lecturer in Innovation and Leadership at MIT, joins our CEO Alex Pascal to explain why he believes asking questions to be the key when it comes to tapping into our inquisitive creativity. 

Could questions be the answer? Hal certainly thinks so. In this episode, he explains why the most effective global leaders are more likely to be asking questions than answering them. In these times of rapid transformation, Hal proposes that openness and self-reflection have become superpowers. He also justifies his belief that questioning is key to making the world a better place. 

Acknowledging that change processes often don’t work or don’t end as we expect them to, Hal suggests that the most effective method of implementing transformation is by changing individuals. In conversation with Alex, he shares his suggestions about how to help clients accept the invitation to change, even when it goes against their natural instincts.

Since Hal is an expert on innovation, Alex takes the opportunity to ask him how AI may be used to augment human capabilities of questioning. Hal has some fascinating ideas about how to interact with this leading-edge technology so that it provokes new forms of creativity.

Listen in to discover the qualities that today’s leaders need to succeed and find out how to get to the right answer by asking the right questions.
