Your Work Friends | Fresh Insights on the Now and Next of Work Has Work Become a Cult of Disruption? w/Leadership Expert and Author, Ashley Goodall
It's not you, work has become a bit nutty. And, the main reason - change.
For the past 10 years, organizations have not only been incented and are, seemingly addicted to change and disrupting their companies. Mergers, acquisitions, new leadership teams, new technologies, new strategies, new, new, new. How do we get to this place where it really feels like we're all working constantly in a cult of disruption?
So, we called in our Friend, leadership expert consultant and author of several books, but the latest book, The Problem With Change, Ashley Goodall.
And, it turns out, all of that change we've experienced (and continue to experience at an accelerated rate) is not only bad for bottom lines, it suuuuuucks for humans. With Ashley, we jammed about:
- The current state of disruption in the workplace aka "life in the blender"
- How constant change impacts humans and businesses
- What humans need to be innovative; creative; maximize performance
- How leaders can break the cult of disruption and provide stability
About Ashley
Drawing on two decades spent leading HR organizations at Deloitte and Cisco, Ashley Goodall reveals why change is not the same as improvement, and how, by prioritizing team cohesion (instead of reshuffling teams at will), by using real words (rather than corporate-speak), by sharing secrets (not mission statements), by fixing only the things that are truly broken (instead of moving fast and breaking everything in sight, and more, leaders at every level can create the stability that people need to thrive.
We HIGHLY recommend reading Ashley's Books:
