If/Then Returns: Season Three

About this episode

If/Then returns with a new season exploring complex decisions in business and leadership.

When should we leap instead of take the obvious next step? Why do we instinctively see gender everywhere? When do our opinions begin to feel less like ideas and more like our identity? If/Then , from Stanford Graduate School of Business, is back with a new season of sharp, surprising conversations that deepen our understanding of business and leadership. Each episode brings you into the room with a Stanford GSB faculty member as they discuss their research and how it challenges conventional wisdom, sharpens judgment, and reframes the way we approach complex decisions.  Join us on Wednesdays for a new season of If/Then.
