Longform Thoughts: Why Organizations Undermine Creativity & Potential

· 1 min read

For the re-launch of the Boundless podcast, I’m releasing a previously Patreon-only audio discussion of a piece I wrote - Crisis at Work - which was published in the fall of 2017. 

You can read the piece here: Crisis At Work

I talk through six key reasons why organizational fail to unlock human potential:

  • We’re defaulting to the wrong goals (shareholder value)

  • We’re mistaking authority for performance (the Tom Brady principle)

  • We aren’t providing a connection to purpose

  • We don’t understand how organizations operate (Chaos theory)

  • We aren’t giving people autonomy

  • We’re choosing comfort over growthBoundless Links:
