Ep:#82 The most effective way to solve complex problems with Barbara Soalheiro

Where should we first look to find solutions to a problem? What is one of the most effective ways to unleash a person’s potential? What happens when benchmarks disappear and new normals are created? Today’s episode is going to show you just what is possible when the right conditions are created for people to thrive. Barbara Soalheiro is the founder of Mesa Company and the creator of Mesa Method. Mesa is a team based work system designed to solve complex challenges by unleashing human potential to process more and execute faster. We talk about the power of building a team based on having every bit of knowledge and skill needed to solve a specific problem. And then how time constraints being at the core of the team design make it possible for people to come up with extraordinary, paradigm changing, tangible solutions. Barbara’s company, Mesa, is all about creating a new timespace where solutions to big problems are built. She tell us how it works, what's they've done, and why it's so powerful. We talk about the importance of working towards an objective that people connect to. Why people need to work at a place where they feel they are always learning, as well as truly accomplishing something, for them to blossom. And Barbara explains her vendetta against collaboration. As she says, “the more you focus on it, the less you get of it”. This is all about real solutions. Changing paradigms. And not following any predesigned formulas. The energy is electric on this episode, and I certainly left the conversation feeling ever more inspired to just get things done. I hope you feel that too.
