How do you balance risk taking with sustainability? Strategic planning with strategic goals? Aubrey unpacks these questions that so many of us are asking right now, plus offers a scenario where a new idea is not really that risky after all. Then, Aubrey covers a question on finding common ground in negotiations, sharing lessons we can learn from big organizations like the Met Opera, smaller organizations like the California Symphony, and a Harvard Business School professor.
