TEI 260: Proverbs for product managers and innovators- with Dr. Max Mckeown, PhD




The Everyday Innovator Podcast for Product Managers show

Summary: Do you like proverbs? I do. Proverbs are short general truths or pieces of advice. They can be a source of wisdom, which is why I read from the Bible book, Proverbs, most nights while I was in college. I was seeking wisdom. Proverbs come from many sources and some become common sayings, such as "measure twice, cut once" -- wisdom for carpenters. Or, "look before you leap," which is something many parents have shared with an impetuous child. I may have heard that one a few times myself.<br> <br> I also love innovation proverbs and I found a book full of them. It's titled, The Innovator's Book: Rules for Rebels, Mavericks and Innovators. The author is Dr. Max Mckeown, an award-winning author and artist who seeks to make complex ideas practical for the real world. His research focuses on how to increase the successful adaptability of individuals, teams and organizations.<br> <br> We discuss a few favorite proverbs from the book.
