Leading in the Unknown with Terence Mauri

What's Next! with Tiffani Bova

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

This week, I’m welcoming back for a second time Terence Mauri, a global expert on the future of leadership, AI, and disruption, and really, the intersection of those three things. As the founder of the Hack Future Lab, he spearheaded a movement for leaders to find the upside of disruption and rethink leadership for a post-AI world. He has a new book out called The Upside of Disruption: The Path to Leading and Thriving in the Unknown.

THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… anyone navigating change in work or life who wants to lead with direction.

TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE… we’ve all heard the saying, “The only constant in life is change,” and most of us would agree, considering the changes we’ve seen even just in the past several years. How do you approach leadership and innovation in times of change? Terence Mauri challenges us to think beyond incremental change and embrace bold, transformative thinking. In this episode, he discusses how leaders can stay future-ready and thrive in the face of uncertainty.

KEY TAKEAWAYS…

• We’re hardwired to have a "yes, but" mindset which tends to be very reductionist. When you practice a "yes, and" mindset, you open yourself up to opportunities.

• Move from KPIs (key performance indicators) to KBIs (key behavior indicators).

• Prioritizing subtraction is one of the finest forms of learning.

• Combat "bore-out" by aligning work with purpose and creating a culture of engagement.

WHAT I LOVE MOST… Terence reframes disruption as an opportunity when so many see it as an obstacle. He encourages listeners to lean into change with curiosity.
