Mike Carruthers: 本节目讨论了防晒霜技术的进步,包括添加额外成分以保护皮肤免受电子屏幕发出的光线;还探讨了领导力观念,以及供应链的运作方式和潜在风险。 Dr. Elias Abu-Jadi: 并非所有的人都适合成为领导者,也不是所有人都渴望成为领导者。领导力更多地取决于先天的性格特质,如同理心、自我认知和社会意识等,这些特质很难通过后天培养获得。过分强调领导力会导致许多人产生自卑感,并忽略了追随者在组织中的重要性。 Peter Goodman: 全球供应链是一个复杂且脆弱的系统,其运作方式及潜在风险值得关注。供应链的脆弱性部分源于“准时制”生产模式和劳动力价值的下降,导致库存不足,难以应对突发事件。此外,缺乏监管也加剧了供应链的风险,例如航运公司在疫情期间哄抬价格。

If everyone becomes a leader – who is left to follow? Is everyone “leadership material”? To hear the surprising science about leadership, listen to my guest Dr. Elias Aboujaoude. He is a psychiatry professor and researcher at Stanford University, and author of the book, A Leader's Destiny: Why Psychology, Personality, and Character Make All the Difference (https://amzn.to/4b6JsOd))

Over the last few years we have heard about the supply chain in the news. It’s that somewhat vague process of making and getting products to where they need to be. So how does it all work? Why does it sometimes fail? Why does it often seem so fragile? Joining me to help us understand the supply chain and explain why you should care about it is Peter Goodman. He is the Global Economics Correspondent for The New York Times and he is author of a book called How the World Ran Out of Everything: Inside the Global Supply Chain (https://amzn.to/3KAlQXJ). )
