S28E30 - The Principles of Applied Stupidity, with Justin Locke

In this HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhwestover/) talks with Justin Locke about his new book, Principles of Applied Stupidity. See the video here: https://youtu.be/x8VnxQP1Db8. Justin Locke (https://www.linkedin.com/in/justinlocke/) spent 18 seasons playing bass with the Boston Pops Orchestra. He has worked with some of the most famous conductors in the world, including John Williams, Henry Mancini, Leonard Bernstein, and Arthur Fiedler. Justin is the author of "Real Men Don't Rehearse," a collection of amusing behind the scenes tales of playing in the Boston Pops. Justin's second book, which we will discuss today, is an unusual look at the management techniques of the best conductors. It is titled "Principles of Applied Stupidity." These are essentially somewhat devious and manipulative (but marvelously effective) management skills that are very much "outside the box."
