Leadership Caffeine™: It’s Vuja De All Over Again

I’m re-reading Tom Kelley’s outstanding book, “The Ten Faces of Innovation,” based on his experience with design firm IDEO, and came across his wonderful use of the phrase Vuja De (the opposite of that feeling we call Déjà vu) in the chapter on acting as an anthropologist to observe people’s true behavior. With apologies to Yogi Berra for borrowing and twisting his classic phrase, "It's Deja Vu all over again," a little Vuja De in your daily leadership life might just be the prescription to turbocharge team and individual performance.
