Psychology Life Lessons is a podcast where we listen in on conversations with psychology experts and try to extract life lessons, and maybe a little wisdom.
In this episode, Dr. Dan Lannin has a conversation about leadership with Dr. Huggy Rao–coauthor of a new book with Dr. Robert Sutton called The Friction Project. Sutton and Rao have studied leaders and organizations for decades and learned valuable lessons about how friction works–to either hinder productivity or enhance it. In our conversation Huggy provides insight into how smart leaders make the right things easier and the wrong things harder. He also shares a few profound life lessons that apply to life, relationships, and work.
Hayagreeva “Huggy” Rao is Atholl McBean Professor of Organizational Behavior and Human Resources, Graduate School of Business, Stanford University. He studies collective action, and is the author of Market Rebels: How Activists Make or Break Radical Innovations. Rao has won research and teaching awards, and has published more than 50 research papers and monographs. He often leads workshops and is academic director of several Stanford executive programs including Soul of a Startup: Young Presidents Organization, and with Bob Sutton Customer-focused Innovation. Rao tweets @huggyrao.
