· 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:
