How do we learn from learning? What does our understanding of gender affect our organizations? And what happens when our opinions start to feel like a part of our identity?
If/Then, a podcast from Stanford Graduate School of Business, returns for its third season with conversations that explore questions like these. Each episode features a Stanford GSB faculty member examining familiar ideas from a fresh angle. You’ll hear about research that challenges easy conclusions, clarifies complicated tradeoffs, and reveals the psychology and economics shaping the choices we make — as consumers, managers, and leaders.
If you’re curious about how thoughtful inquiry can shift the way we see the world — and how better thinking leads to better decisions — we hope you’ll join us on Wednesdays for new episodes of If/Then.
