Podcast with Arik Johnson: Stochasm, mystery, philosophy and management

[Eric Garland]

I'm sure that in this space, Arik Johnson needs no introduction. We've got a great podcast with him. The concept he talks about most these days is stochasm, a funny but meaningful word that is Greek for the difference between what you think you know and what you actually know. In this world of Black Swans and wildcard scenarios, there is a lot of that going on these days.

Arik is concerned with the future, leadership, and the intelligence required to meet new, unprecedented challenges. In this thoughtful discussion, he covers:

• Why the chaos of the current moment is a perfect time to think about how you think
• Why our current obsession with "performance" may be misguided given the mysteries of the world
• How the corruption of the monetary system puts all of our business metrics in jeopardy
