In today's episode...
Ever roll out a brilliant new process or tool only to watch it get ignored, resisted, or maliciously complied with? Tired of the "Top-Down Dictatorship" approach that frustrates people and achieves little? In this episode, Sam Goodman tackles Idea #2 from his book, "10 Ideas to Make Safety Suck Less": the crucial shift from Doing Things TO People to Doing Things WITH People.
Discover why 'doing things to people' always backfire and why leadership often misunderstands frontline reality.
Sam breaks down how genuinely involving people, asking what they need, and co-creating solutions transforms initiatives from bureaucratic burdens into collaborative efforts that actually work. Hear how one team transformed a checklist driven heat stress program into something useful. Learn practical steps to listen better, empower your teams, and finally start making work suck less by tapping into the real expertise – the people doing the work.
Sam, a unique blend of strategist and comedic creator, brings a fresh perspective to organizational improvement. He's not your typical consultant; he's The HOP Nerd, dedicated to highlighting the absurdity in our workplaces and workplace safety through his hilarious and insightful content. With a track record of helping hundreds of businesses successfully operationalize HOP, and teaching tens of thousands of people around the globe HOP concepts, Sam uses his comedic lens to expose the ineffectiveness of our more traditional approaches.
Beyond his consulting prowess, Sam's comedic creations shed light on workplace safety and culture, proving that sometimes, a dose of absurdity is exactly what we need to see things clearly.
