Is training really corporate sludge?
chevron_right
Join Andre Spicer, a Professor of organizational behavior, and Mats Alvesson, an academic researcher from Sweden, as they tackle the concept of corporate training as 'sludge.' They explore how most training is ineffective, burdening employees with pointless rituals. The duo delves into the 'death of the corporate job' and critiques bureaucratic practices that stifle productivity. They advocate for leaders to act as 'administrative plumbers,' simplifying processes and reducing unnecessary meetings. Tune in for practical strategies to declutter corporate culture!
