What Are You Not Seeing? Ancient Wisdom on Modern Blindness | Jason Tilley | TEDxCNU

Organizational transformation fails when organizations don't truly understand their current state. Like Plato's prisoners viewing shadows on a cave wall, organizations often operate with distorted perceptions of their processes, missions, objectives and staff. By using ancient wisdom, combined with modern concepts of efficiency organizations and individuals can get to their truth. From Plato, to Democritus, to Diogenes there are important lessons from these figures that can teach us all, from business leaders to students, how to navigate today's complex world. Taking those lessons and applying modern principles of efficiency and operational excellence can provide insight that bridges the practicality gap between Philosophy 101 and a Business Management Capstone.
