Welcome to the What’s Next! Podcast. I’ve met so many brilliant people as I traveled the globe and have had some fascinating conversations that I’ve wished had been recorded so I could share them with you - this podcast was a way for me to recreate those moments and let you in on some fantastic insights. My current conversations center around one objective: what's next for companies and individuals as they look to innovate and grow. I hope these conversations inspire you as much as they have inspired me. Whether I am preparing for a keynote speech or writing for publications such as Harvard Business Review and Huffington Post, these are my go-to people. My goal with the What’s Next! podcast is to keep you thinking and to challenge you to think about What’s Next!

What's Next! with Tiffani Bova - The Upside of Uncertainty with Nathan & Susannah Furr
play

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.

What's Next! with Tiffani Bova - The Fearless Organization with Amy Edmondson

The Fearless Organization with Amy Edmondson

What's Next! with Tiffani Bova

play

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.

What's Next! with Tiffani Bova - RELOAD: GenY is The Next Generation of Leadership with Adam Kingl
play

11/10/22 • 33 min

Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova.

In this week’s RELOAD episode, we look back to our conversation with Adam Kingl on the future generation of young leaders. Adam is an author and keynote speaker who educates future leaders on culture, purpose, team dynamics, the future of work, creativity, strategic innovation, management innovation, and the generational paradigms of work and leadership. He is Adjunct Faculty at Ashridge – Hult International Business School. He was the Regional Managing Director, Europe, for Duke Corporate Education and the Executive Director of Thought Leadership and Learning Solutions for London Business School. Adam’s new book, Next Generation Leadership, came out February 2020. I am delighted to have Adam Kingl on the What’s Next! Podcast for this RELOAD episode.

THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR... managers, leaders, CEOs, Start-ups, entrepreneurs and anyone recruiting and/or managing young professionals!

TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE... Adam helps us understand how best to navigate five generations of workers in the workforce for the first time in history, especially the GenY workforce. How you recruit, manage, enable, and retain new generations of workers is critical to the success of your organization. Without happy employees, you won’t have happy customers. Adam helps us navigate this most critical frontier.

WHAT I LOVE MOST... Hearing what Gen Y thinks, thinking about how we invest in talent moving forward, and even how we handle losing and rehiring talent in the future!

What's Next! with Tiffani Bova - Redefining Happiness with Stephanie Harrison

Redefining Happiness with Stephanie Harrison

What's Next! with Tiffani Bova

play

08/01/24 • 24 min

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.

I have the pleasure of welcoming Stephanie Harrison to the show today. She is the creator of the New Happy Philosophy. She's the founder of New Happy, a company helping individuals, companies, and communities apply this philosophy in their lives.

The New Happy’s art, newsletter, podcast, and programs reach millions of people around the world every month. Previously, Stephanie was the Director of Learning at Thrive Global, one of my favorite companies.

THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR... anyone looking to redefine their understanding of happiness and improve their well-being, especially in the workplace.

TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE... traditionally, happiness is tied to achievements - closing a big deal, getting a promotion, moving to the corner office. We’re told to aim for perfection and achieve more and more to find happiness, yet somehow, we’re still unfulfilled.

Stephanie Harrison introduces a new concept of happiness, “New Happy” which challenges traditional notions of happiness. Instead of pursuing individual happiness through external achievements, New Happy focuses on authenticity and contributing to others' well-being. By understanding and applying these principles, individuals and organizations can foster environments that promote genuine happiness and purpose.

Key takeaways:

  • Using acts of kindness as a shortcut to happiness
  • Rewiring yourself to move away from Old Happy to New Happy
  • Understanding the root of most people’s unhappiness
  • How parents can teach children the New Happy way
  • Practical steps for leaders to promote happiness among their teams

WHAT I LOVE MOST... Stephanie's insight that happiness doesn't have to be a choice between self and others. You don't have to put your happiness before somebody else's or vice versa. You can do both at the same time.

What's Next! with Tiffani Bova - Inclusion on Purpose with Ruchika Tulshyan

Inclusion on Purpose with Ruchika Tulshyan

What's Next! with Tiffani Bova

play

04/21/22 • 31 min

Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova.

We had the honor of speaking with Ruchika Tulshyan about her expertise on promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Not only is Ruchika an award-winning inclusion strategist and speaker, but she is also the CEO and founder of Candour, which works with organizations to create diverse teams and inclusive cultures. A former business journalist, she has reported from four countries and writes regularly on inclusive leadership for the Harvard Business Review. She was named to the Thinkers50 list, a global ranking described by the Financial Times as “the Oscars of management thinking.”

THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR... workplace leaders who are looking to promote an equitable workplace environment and foster a culture of diversity & inclusion.

TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE... Many people carry good intentions to create diverse and inclusive workplaces, so why do so many workers still feel excluded? By exploring the intersectionality of our identities, we can begin to see how gender, race, sexuality, and other aspects of identity should be considered holistically for individuals in the workplace. By implementing best workplace practices and actively practicing awareness, we can grow organizations purposefully to build diversity and inclusion.

WHAT I LOVE MOST... Ruchika reminds us to consider our own privileges and how our experiences might be different from someone else’s experience. She also reminds us that it’s okay to make mistakes in diversity practices, so long as we learn from them and do better next time.

What's Next! with Tiffani Bova - Aligning Every Level for Growth with Scott Edinger
play

02/08/24 • 29 min

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.

This week, I’m joined by Scott Edinger.

Scott is a consultant for leading business growth and is trusted by clients in the Fortune 50 and across the globe. He has worked with CEOs and senior leaders to develop pragmatic strategies and execute approaches to drive top and bottom-line results. He's written three books. His latest, The Growth Leader, is out now and is a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller. He creates positive change for clients and is recognized as an expert in the intersection of leadership, strategy, and sales.

THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR... anyone who wants to learn how to close the gap between the C-Suite and the sales team to create profitable growth.

TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE... sales teams are often divorced from talks about strategy, yet the sales process is where strategy is executed. It’s where everything comes to life. In fact, interactions with salespeople drive 25-53% of decisions! In this episode, Scott discusses why it’s so critical to not treat sales as an afterthought and how to effectively include it in planning.

WHAT I LOVE MOST... it’s the responsibility of a leader to inspire every level of the organization, yes sales, but also product developers, marketers, finance, legal, and customer service teams, to understand the value they bring to the customer.

Love & Work with Marcus Buckingham

What's Next! with Tiffani Bova

play

04/07/22 • 35 min

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.

Marcus Buckingham is the author of two of the best-selling business books of all time, has two of Harvard Business Review’s most circulated, industry-changing cover articles, and has been the subject of in-depth profiles in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Forbes, Fortune, Fast Company, The Today Show, and The Oprah Winfrey Show. After spending two decades studying excellence at the Gallup Organization and co-creating the StrengthsFinder tool, he built his own Coaching + Education firm, The Marcus Buckingham Company. As CEO, he quickly turned it into a Human Capital Management company working with some of the world’s largest organizations.

Marcus is known as the world’s most prominent researcher on strengths and leadership at work, and today leads research at the ADP Research Institute. Challenging entrenched preconceptions about achievement to get to the core of what drives success, Marcus’s strengths- based approach is defining the future of work as we know it.

THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR... people who are looking to find the love in what they do and learn how to contribute it to others.

TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE... We are so focused on finding work that we love, but most people don’t know the real truth of what we love. To find what we really love, our careers should be a scavenger hunt of the daily activities and experiences that bring us joy and fulfillment, rather than focused on a metric of success that only takes our work performance into account.

WHAT I LOVE MOST... Our real strengths aren’t necessarily about what we are good at doing, but rather what gives us the most fulfillment. Marcus challenges us to return back to the childhood delights of exploring what love and centering our work on those principles. You don’t have to love everything you do, but you should be able to find love in what you are doing.

What's Next! with Tiffani Bova - RELOAD: Who's on Your Team with Adam Grant

RELOAD: Who's on Your Team with Adam Grant

What's Next! with Tiffani Bova

play

02/15/24 • 26 min

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.

Adam Grant is a leading voice on organizational psychology and I know many of you resonate with his ideas, which is why I’m so eager to replay a conversation I had with Adam a while back.

Adam is an expert on finding motivation and meaning and living more generous and creative lives. He's been recognized as one of the world's 10 Most Influential Management Thinkers and Fortune's 40 under 40. He's the author of three New York Times bestsellers: Give and Take, Originals, and Option B. Adam now hosts WorkLife, a TED original podcast after his TED talk got over 12 million views.

THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR... team members and team builders.

TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE... Adam’s research shows that interpersonal interactions that a difference in our success. At various points in our day, humans operate in three realms:

  1. A giver, or people who ask what can I do for you?
  2. A taker, someone who asks what can you do for me?
  3. Matchers, who follow the law of reciprocity.

Yes, there are grey areas, but people usually fit in one of these categories.

One would think that placing a group of givers on a team would guarantee a culture of givers, but that’s not the case. Yet, when you have a team of takers, more harm is done than good. Adam believes it’s more important to screen out takers, leaving a good mix of givers and matchers.

Forming teams is more than finding similarities or matching “culture fit.” Forming teams is an important skill that finds differences and diversity of thought and identifies the holes in current teams.

WHAT I LOVE MOST... Adam’s work around being better teammates and better individuals in our home and work life is inspiring. He forces us to think if we are a giver, a taker, or a matcher. How are we adjusting each day to bring our best selves to our day? This is an important question to ponder and to try to implement in your life.

What's Next! with Tiffani Bova - RELOAD: Diversity Drives Innovation with Frans Johansson
play

01/18/24 • 37 min

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.

This week, I’m reflecting on a conversation I had with Frans Johansson a while back and want to share these valuable insights with you once again.

Frans is an author, entrepreneur, and the CEO of The Medici Group. He has inspired readers worldwide with his ideas on leadership and success, innovation, and diversity. His debut book, The Medici Effect, has been called “one of the most insightful books on managing innovation.”

THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR... anyone looking to find ways to stimulate innovation.

TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE... there are two main themes rising around the world today: Innovation and Diversity and Inclusion. That is not by accident. If you are able to combine concepts, perspectives, and people from different backgrounds, from different industries and fields, and from different cultures, you can uncover new innovative ideas.

Don’t get caught in the “we’ve always done it this way” trap or try to mimic another business model (the “Uber of X” or the AirBnB of Y”). Use your talents and ambition to try something new.

Keep producing. Put out another product if the first one fails. Keep going.

WHAT I LOVE MOST... in order to innovate, you need the best people – period. You will need those people to work together and collaborate regardless of race, gender, or religion.

06/18/20 • 34 min

Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova.

This week I am thrilled to welcome two-time What’s Next! guest, and friend of the show, Maria Konnikova. Maria is the author of The Biggest Bluff: How I Learned to Pay Attention, Master Myself, and Win. She is a regular contributing writer for The New Yorker, and has written for the Atlantic, the New York Times, Slate, the New Republic, the Paris Review, the Wall Street Journal, Salon, the Boston Globe, the Scientific American, WIRED, and Smithsonian, among many other publications. Her writing has won numerous awards, including the 2019 Excellence in Science Journalism Award from the Society of Personality and Social Psychology. While researching The Biggest Bluff, Maria became an international poker champion and the winner of over $300,000 in tournament earnings. Maria also hosts the podcast The Grift from Panoply Media and is currently a visiting fellow at NYU’s School of Journalism. Her podcasting work earned her a National Magazine Award nomination in 2019. Maria graduated from Harvard University and received her Ph.D. in Psychology from Columbia University.

THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR... anyone curious about luck, chance, and poker, and who wants to become a better person, a stronger person, a better decision-maker. It's for that person. It's for people who want that.

TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE... You never know what skills will be useful, and you can’t predict the future. She uses Game Theory to address the variance of life, the setbacks and hardships life presents, and the overwhelming importance of separating the outcome of a decision from the process of decision-making. You should evaluate the process on its own merits to make a good decision–the best decision.

WHAT I LOVE MOST... How many interesting topics we were able to discuss!
