Most companies hit an “innovation drought,” struggling to produce breakthrough ideas. Let alone do it consistently. So how do Silicon Valley's most creative companies build high-performing teams and individuals who deliver one groundbreaking idea after another? Drawing from years leading teams at both YouTube and Instagram, Jon Youshaei reveals the counterintuitive secret: you don't have to choose between quantity vs. quality. It's about using quantity to achieve quality – some ideas brilliant, many mediocre, and yes, even a few flops. And knowing how to manage up and across your organization to get your colleagues bought into a culture of fearless failure. In this game-changing keynote, Jon provides the step-by-step process on how to do that to unleash your team's creative potential, whether you're a Fortune 500 executive, manager, or startup founder.
