Philosophy for Business Leaders

In this episode, we welcome Mahmoud Rasmi, the author of the book, ‘Philosophy for Business Leaders’. This book explores the importance of asking questions, questioning our assumptions, embracing and navigating uncertainty and adversity, and finding meaning in them, as well as exploring ethical decision-making frameworks.

My conversation with Mahmoud explores the relevance and importance of philosophy for technology practitioners, entrepreneurs, and executives. Mahmoud shares his personal journey into philosophical thinking, highlighting experiences and curiosities that sparked his interest.

The conversation further examines the practical application of philosophy in the workplace, including self-awareness, epistemic humility, and questioning assumptions.

My thoughts about the episode is in this post.

Join the Cyb3rSyn Community and download the book, "Philosophy for Business Leaders" (in addition to premium-tier newsletter content + 3 other exclusive books + podcast episodes + online chat + forums and more….) for free or grab it on Amazon.

Systems Don't Exist!

In this episode, Geoff Elliott emphasizes that systems thinking is not a singular methodology but rather a collection of diverse approaches, underpinned by key concepts and requiring experiential knowledge. He highlights common misunderstandings, such as viewing systems thinking as solely holistic or a step-by-step process.

The conversation also touches upon the cultural challenges of adopting systems thinking in organizations, particularly the tendency towards solution-focused thinking and the neglect of observer perspectives.

Tired of “solution” selling consultants who truly don’t understand the problem situation?
