Episode notes

This chapter explores the transformation of creative processes within organizations, highlighting the shift towards utilizing established patterns instead of starting anew for each project. It discusses the tension between traditional and modern work methods, particularly in the context of remote and hybrid work environments, and calls for a qualitative approach to understanding workplace dynamics. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of personal rituals and meaningful conversations in enhancing well-being and leadership effectiveness amid societal challenges.

We talk a lot about the importance of emergence—of being more comfortable with being uncomfortable. However, it’s hard to practice what you preach… especially for a podcast with a tight schedule. Normally, when one of two hosts is out of commission, you don’t record. But when this recently happened to us, we asked “How might we?” and took a big ol’ step into the unknown.

We’re glad we did, because this week’s guest is Dr. Jason Fox, a self-proclaimed wizard-philosopher, best-selling author, and senior leadership advisor to Fortune 500 companies around the world. In classic wizard-philosopher fashion, he and Sam throw out the script for a far-reaching conversation about the importance of rituals, the roles we play when we’re at work, and how embracing uncertainty is where the magic truly happens.
