The Upside of Uncertainty with Nathan & Susannah Furr
What's Next! with Tiffani Bova
08/11/22 • 25 min
Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova.
This week we journey into the unknown with innovation researcher Nathan Furr and entrepreneur Susannah Furr, who navigate us through the fear and stress of uncertainty to find the creative opportunity on the other side.
Nathan Furr is a professor of strategy and innovation at INSEAD in Paris and an expert in the fields of innovation and technology strategy. His bestselling books include The Innovator’s Method and Innovation Capital. Published regularly in Harvard Business Review, MIT Sloan Management Review, Forbes and Inc., he is an Innosight Fellow, has been nominated for the Thinkers50 Innovation Award, and works with leading companies including Google, Microsoft, Citi, ING, and Philips.
Susannah Harmon Furr is an entrepreneur, designer, art historian, and contrarian. Her clothing line was inspired by her research into the intricate embroidery Dutch women painstakingly rendered on their plain uniforms—details often invisible to all but the wearer—and its significance in their daily lives. She has also founded a design services firm. Nathan and Susannah are the parents of four teenagers.
THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR... individuals who want to break away from the stresses of uncertainty to overcome their fears, adopt innovations, imagine the possibilities, set out on new adventures, and ultimately, embrace change.
TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE... we are hard-wired to love the idea of control, but we have to accept that some things are outside of our control. For those who shy away from willingly bringing uncertainty into their lives, they recommend implementing “balancers” to create a sense of familiarity in your day to day life. The sense of security that comes from having a few routine choices - like standard lunches or outfits - can help keep us relatively stable when uncertainty creeps into our lives (or when we are ready to introduce it ourselves!).
WHAT I LOVE MOST... Nathan and Susannah have a starry-eyed optimism for the future, not because they know that everything is going to work out in the end, but because they know they will be able to handle it when something inevitably goes wrong. So they choose to imagine the best possible outcome for the future, while simultaneously creating a plan to manage their risk tolerance and address the worst case scenario.

The Fearless Organization with Amy Edmondson
What's Next! with Tiffani Bova
04/08/21 • 32 min
Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova.
This week I am thrilled to welcome Amy Edmondson to the What’s Next! Podcast. Amy is an American scholar of leadership, teaming, and organizational learning who is currently the Novartis Professor of Leadership at the Harvard Business School. She has been recognized by the bi-annual Thinkers50 global ranking of management thinkers since 2011, and most recently was ranked #3 in 2019; she also received the organization’s Breakthrough Idea Award in 2019 and Talent Award in 2017. She studies teaming, psychological safety, and organizational learning, and her articles have been published in numerous academic and management outlets, including Administrative Science Quarterly, Academy of Management Journal, Harvard Business Review, and California Management Review. Her most recent book, The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological S afety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation and Growth, offers a practical guide for organizations serious about success in the modern economy and has been translated into 11 languages. I am beyond thrilled to be speaking with Amy Edmondson on the What ’s Next! Podcast!
THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR... leaders, team members, those afraid to use their voice, and those who are afraid of not having all the answers!
TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE... We live in a world where expertise is increasingly narrower and deeper than ever before, and Amy wants you to know that it is okay not to know ALL the answers. In fact, NOBODY knows all the answers! The world is changing so fast that even if you knew everything “today,” it’s a given you wouldn’t know everything that there was to know “tomorrow.” So, according to Amy, you might as well get comfortable with not knowing and learn to turn it into something positive as opposed to shameful. Being comfortable with not knowing and being open to constantly learning is more critical than ever before in a world that is suddenly, drastically different and requiring more flexibility than ever before. To that end, Amy is tackling what she calls “psychological safety.” It’s okay to speak up–it’s necessary–and it’s important to ask for help. There should be a conviction in you that it is okay to speak up and that your voice is welcome. It is incumbent upon great teams and great leaders to create an environment where it is safe, encouraged, and rewarded to take the risk and speak up–even when and especially when it isn’t “good news.” If you listen people will speak!
WHAT I LOVE MOST... There should be a conviction in you that it is okay to speak up and that your voice is welcome.

He breaks down some of the lessons he and his team have learned, some video conferencing best practices, addressing work-life balance when everything is “from home,” and how he believes this transition has affected the future of work forever. Doug is a proponent of leading with empathy, putting employee safety first, and productivity increases as a result of enthusiastic efficient uses of remote conferencing and project management tools. Doug also affirms that finding the best team won’t be limited by geography anymore, moving forward it’ll be about doing the best with, and for, the best teams possible as we find ways to work efficiently with remote tools in a healthy and sustainable way. That’s Doug’s goal at Betterworks, where he and his team seek to create organizational unity that also delivers results.
WHAT I LOVE MOST... The real-time, frontline insights into how leaders are responding during this time to keep their people safe, keep their well-being front and center, and how leaders like Doug are adjusting their goals and metrics to reflect the world we are living in.

The Good Guys: Mentoring Women and Creating Allyship in the Workplace with David G. Smith and W. Brad Johnson
What's Next! with Tiffani Bova
11/05/20 • 35 min
Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova.
This week I am beyond thrilled to be speaking with Dave Smith and Brad Johnson on the What’s Next Podcast! David G. Smith, Ph.D., is a professor of sociology in the National Security Affairs Department at the U.S. Naval War College. As a sociologist trained in military sociology and social psychology, he focuses his research on gender, work, and family issues. He is the co-author of Athena Rising: How and Why Men Should Mentor Women along with Brad Johnson. W. Brad Johnson, Ph.D., is a professor of psychology in the Department of Leadership, Ethics, and Law at the United States Naval Academy and a faculty associate in the Graduate School of Education at Johns Hopkins University. He is the author of thirteen books, including Athena Rising: How and Why Men Sho uld Mentor Women and his newest book, also co-authored with Dave Smith, Good Guys: How Men Can Be Better Allies for Women in the Workplace.
THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR... men in positions of power and leaders looking to be allies and mentors in the workplace to further workplace gender equity and inclusion.
TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE... Diversity is often looked at as just counting heads without much thought given to how much individuals feel that they are included and included meaningfully. The research is really clear in terms of increased performance, creativity, and innovation, but diversity without thought to real inclusion does not often lead to those outcomes. Good leadership values this and takes it into account. So, how do leaders show that they have this awareness and demonstrate allyship in the workplace? That’s what Dave and Brad are all about, and that’s what they’re sharing with us in this episode! Diversity expands capacity and ability in an organization and creates more opportunities, not less. But to get there, you need to be intentional and set clear objectives. This also applies to mentors and mentorship, and it also applies to workplace culture and how men in positions of power and leadership speak to, with, and about the women in their organizations. Mentorship is the key to creating meaningful change, inclusion, and allyship in an organization. This isn’t about white-knighting or rescuing, this is about creating space, stepping back from the spotlight granted by privilege, and intentionally moving the dial on inclusion with that power.
WHAT I LOVE MOST... Dave and Brad’s mission to create more allyship and inclusivity in the workplace.

Ruthless Consistency with Michael Canic
What's Next! with Tiffani Bova
11/19/20 • 28 min

THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR... leaders and organizations that are taking on too much and need to refocus for success.
TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE... It’s easier to say than do...that’s why 70-80% of strategic change initiatives fail. So, what can you do? Well, Michael has a few questions for you? Have you developed the right focus - a concise, compelling, clear-focus? Have you created an environment of both engagement and performance where you can capture people’s hearts as well as their heads? And importantly, have you built the right team? That’s what MichaelCanic is here to talk about. That, and how important it is to be ruthlessly consistent when going about it.
WHAT I LOVE MOST... Sometimes we get so enamored with the BIG things that we have to do that we forget the little things, and consistency is one of those “little” things that is key!
