Big Idea Keynote: Kare Anderson Say It Better

In our tech-enabled world bad and good can hit faster, travel farther and become more contagious. Thus, more than wealth, talent, hard work or even charisma, the most valuable individuals are those who can recruit the right team to seize opportunities, solve problems and innovate faster and better than others. They share three “mutuality minded” traits: capacity to connect with unexpected allies who have complementary talents, ability to recognize methods that leverage value for all participants and be more deeply connected and widely quoted. Kare literally demonstrates concrete cues to hone these interconnected skills. Nothing optimizes collective performance more than spurring and enabling diverse people to use their best talents together around strong sweet spots of mutual interest. This approach clearly resonates as it has attracted over 2.3 million views of Kare Anderson’s TED talk on this topic.
