Ep.58: Inbetweeners - If you are the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room

In this short, sharp Inbetweener episode, The Occupational Philosophers, turn their attention to meditations, or well-known philosophical quotations which may offer some insights into how we work, play and collaborate together. In this episode,  they explore:

• The quotation attributed to Confucius, “If you are the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room’
• How ensuring you have diversity of thought in your ‘room’ is key to problem-solving and creative thinking
• Why changing the word ‘room’ to ‘meeting’ may offer a very practical way to challenge yourself before any group discussion
• And why ‘smart’ doesn’t just mean IQ

FYI: The Inbetweeners episodes are just that - smaller episodes 'in between' the longer format episodes designed to give a little kickstart to enable you to be the most curious, creative and imaginative cat you can be - and have some fun in the process.
