Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Somik Raha discuss the following:
- You’ve worked in tech, strategy, and academia. What inspired you to write a book about value and meaning?
- In Invaluable, you challenge the way we use metrics in business. What’s wrong with our current approach to measurement?
- You use the phrase “generative values.” What are they, and how can someone discover their own?
- You introduce “Numinous Metrics” in the book. What makes a metric numinous, and can you share a real-world example?
- How can a leader use your framework to bring more meaning and impact into their organization without losing sight of profitability?
- You share a powerful story about a plastic packaging company transforming through values. Can you briefly tell us what happened?
- The idea of starting from ‘emptiness’ seems counterintuitive in business. What do you mean by that, and why is it powerful?
- For someone listening today who feels disconnected from their work, what’s one thing they can do to start finding clarity on what truly matters to them?
- How do you hope this book will shift the way people relate to business, metrics, and their own lives?
