Is it better to prioritize making tasks quick and easy, or should you consider making them slower and more difficult? Bob Sutton suggests smart leaders can make the right things easier and the wrong things harder. Sutton joins Kevin to discuss the challenges faced by organizations as they grow, emphasizing the importance of recognizing both good and bad friction within teams and processes. He highlights the need to balance speed and thoroughness in decision-making, using examples like Google's hiring process evolution and the impact of inefficient workflows on employee morale and productivity. He also touches on leadership approaches like "management walking out of the room" to foster collaboration and decision-making and common traps organizations fall into, such as "addition sickness," where the default solution to problems is adding complexity instead of subtracting unnecessary elements.

Spiritual intelligence involves embodying timeless virtues like purpose, service, gratitude, integrity, and intuition. Yosi also discusses the 7 dimensions that make up spiritual intelligence. These include meaning, grace, inner-directed, community, presence, truth, and wisdom. Spiritual intelligence isn't just about personal growth but also enables leaders to create more cohesive teams, authentic interactions, and a deep sense of purpose.
