At Work with The Ready

157. AUA No. 7: Workplace Rituals, Obstructive Leaders, and Tooling Transitions

Listen Later

Why are “Ask Us Anything” episodes our favorite ones to make? Because our listener questions are never not inspiring, provocative, moving, sharp…just insert your favorite emoji here. What can we say? Y’all are the best.

In today's episode of Brave New Work, Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans head back to the mailbag (and try to break their record of answering only two questions per episode). They offer their hot takes (naturally) and dig into:

  • Why workplace rituals matter and how to develop ones that are legit meaningful
  • What to do when leaders at the top say they’re hungry for change…and then block it left, right, and center
  • How to help teams transition to new tools, especially when that adoption requires brand new skills and brand new levels of (currently non-existent) trust
