The Scientific Mindset: Rethinking How We Lead and Decide: A Conversation with Prof. Stefan H. Thomke

Experience and intuition often guide our decisions. But what happens when our assumptions prove wrong? How can leaders challenge what they think they know and make better decisions grounded in evidence? What does it take to build organizations that experiment, learn from failure, and turn uncertainty into opportunity? And how can thinking like a scientist make us better leaders? Join host Michael J. Keegan as he explores these questions and more with Prof. Stefan H. Thomke at Harvard Business School and author of The Scientific Mindset: How Thinking Scientifically Drives Better Business Decisions.
