Andrew McAfee is a Principal Research Scientist at the MIT Sloan School of Management and co-founder of MIT's Initiative on the Digital Economy. He has written several books, including "More from Less" and "The Second Machine Age". During the conversation, McAfee discusses the importance of embracing a geek culture that revolves around science, ownership, speed, and openness. He explains how this culture can lead to freewheeling, evidence-driven, and autonomous organizations. McAfee highlights the discomfort and challenges that come with implementing the geek way, but emphasizes that it is far more rewarding than working in stifling bureaucracies. Some highlights we explore: The benefits of iterating and taking action before feeling fully prepared The power of pointed conversations and learning from constructive criticism The contrast between bureaucratic environments and geek culture
