  • The Antifragile Mindset Why Resilience Isn't Enough in the Face of a Global Pandemic
    The Antifragile Mindset Why resilience isn't enough in the face of a global pandemic. by Dana Klisanin, Ph.D. Source: Dana Klisanin If COVID-19 hadn’t cancelled travel around the world, I’d be headed to London to speak about a topic that has become increasingly timely – antifragility – a powerful concept introduced by author Nassim Nicolas Taleb in his book, Antifragile: Things that Gain From Disorder. In a nutshell, antifragility means to get stronger in the face of stressors. Taleb explains: “Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty. Yet, in spite of the ubiquity of the phenomenon, there is no word for the exact opposite of fragile. Let us call it antifragile. Antifragility is beyond resilience or robustness. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better.” Right now, the pandemic is wreaking havoc on our systems – collective systems and personal routines are undergoing major shocks. Many of us are experiencing personal and collective anxiety, as well as an increase in stress, depression, feelings of hopelessness, panic, and grief. These feelings are normal responses to trauma of this magnitude. But it is important to recognize that we don't have to give in to such feelings. We have a choice. At this crucial moment of systemic stress, we can choose to develop an antifragile mindset and grow stronger. Source: Photo by Vicky Sim on Unsplash Developing an antifragile mindset doesn't mean denying feelings of anxiety and stress, but instead, training ourselves to summon the opposite responses.

  • Alemany, Ricard
    1 As I finished my first year of the MBA, one of my mentor’s advice was to read. Used to reading case studies, the question really was “what books should I read?”. After two years at IESE, and experiencing first hand the breadth and depth of knowledge shared from IESE Faculty, I thought the most valuable advice on what to read was right in front of me. How could I continue to learn from professors beyond the classroom, once the MBA path comes to an end. I thought a reading list from IESE Faculty could serve not just me, but my whole class and perhaps future IESE graduates, as a guide to continue learning. Therefore, I asked professors for book recommendations that would inspire and guide us in our future endeavors. The document that follows is the result of it. I hope you find this document insightful and useful. I would like to thank all the participating professors for their recommendations and participation in the project and for sharing their knowledge not only in class, but also beyond it. Additionally, I am grateful for the help and patience of Eduardo Pérez (IESE MBA 2019), the creative genius, who has given shape of the document that I here present to you. Antonio Recio Sanromán. " Our brain is like our body: it needs exercise. If you don’t read at least one good book every month, you will lose most of the good intellectual and analytical shape you got during the MBA reading every day case after case… So, don’t stop reading.
