    How To Think Big

    How To Think Big

    Work often demands that we focus on the details. But when we focus too well, we risk losing sight of the big picture. In this episode, we explain big-picture thinking in less abstract terms, explore a nifty tool to practice it, and find out how a campaign from your favorite fast-food chain knocked it out of the park—all because the folks behind it dared to think big.

    Meet Papiya Banerjee, Co-founder, Unqbe, and a leader with years of experience in culture building, talent management and leadership development; and Mark Pollard, strategy consultant for The Economist, Twitter, Euronews, Facebook, and host of the Sweathead podcast.

    This is Season 5 of Habits Matter. We’re going behind the scenes of common work problems and asking questions like: how do you present effectively? Get that job? Or decode feedback?

    This episode was hosted remotely by Harappa Founder & CEO, Shreyasi Singh.
