Rohit Bhargava: How to develop your non-obvious thinking

Is your way of thinking limiting fresh ideas in your organisation?

That dominant way of thinking you’re so used to could be doing more damage than good. Perhaps it’s time to find another way to enable innovation and growth amongst your team.

In this episode I am joined by Rohit Bhargava, the man behind non-obvious thinking. Rohit tells us what non-obvious thinking is, and why it matters. He also gives you practical ways to develop it and how to use it to your own advantage.

Rohit advocates for a world filled with open-minded individuals who can see beyond the obvious and challenge the status quo.

Now that sounds like a world and a work place we should all aspire to.

“What would the world be like if the opposite was true?”– Rohit
