winyy Issue #93

配信が遅れましたが93号をお届けします。

今週はIDEOのTim Brown会長の記事が興味深かったです。同氏曰く「リーダーが全ての答えを持っているという考えはイノベーションに有害。洞察に満ちた質問をすることで、好奇心と発見を刺激するリーダーが必要」とのことです。VUCAの時代にはリーダーシップに求められる資質が変わるということですね。

前号で一番クリックされた記事は、"Blockchain fundraising can (and will) revolutionize VC investing norms" でした。

winyy Issue #93

Sorry for the delay in delivery, but we are pleased to bring you issue 93.

This week, I enjoyed an interesting article by Tim Brown, chair of IDEO. According to him, “The notion that leaders have all the answers is toxic to innovation. We need leaders who inspire curiosity and discovery by asking insightful questions that send the organization off in new and interesting directions." In the age of VUCA, the qualities required for leadership will change.

The most read news last week was "Blockchain fundraising can (and will) revolutionize VC investing norms."
