Are you making little bets to enhance employee engagement?
I encourage you to watch this raw 45 minute presentation by Peter Sims on Little Bets. This was one of his first presentations on the topic and models making a little bet in presenting ideas. After watching the video I encourage you to apply the concepts to employee engagement by making a little bet on your approach to engagement.
Here are some of the key points from Peter Sims on Little Bets:
- Little bets are small achievable, affordable actions taken to discover and develop new ideas
- We don’t begin with the big idea we discover our innovations through numerous little bets or iterations
- You can’t put into excel how people will respond to a new idea
- When doing something new flip the switch from planning to determine what you could afford to lose and take action
- The process is where the genius resides
- Take a little bet to help discover what is going on
- We must be okay being imperfect and to fail
- Questions are the new answers
- HP make 100 small bets for 6% success…fail 94% of the time
- Develop the growth mindset (Carol Dweck)
