In the second part of our compelling conversation with Dr. Ewa Lombard, we delve into the nuances of decision-making and collective action. We uncover how peer pressure can significantly impact our choices, and explore creative methods like hackathons to encourage long-term thinking. We also debate the effectiveness of different messaging strategies, particularly in climate change advocacy. This episode critically examines the power and pitfalls of collective intelligence, emphasising the necessity of diverse and independent voices within a psychologically safe space. We further consider the future of decision support with a discussion on AI as a potential personal coach, while addressing crucial ethical concerns. Finally, we conclude with a provocative look at the role of testosterone in leadership and the critical importance of gender balance in shaping effective decisions.
