Life in the Corporate Blender: Why Change is Making Work Worse with Ashley Goodall


Listen Later

For decades, “disruption” and “change” have been seen as essential to business growth and success. Whether it’s a merger or re-org or a new office layout, change has become the ultimate easy button for leaders, who pursue it with abandon, unleashing a torrent of disruption on employees. The result is what our guest calls “life in the blender”—a perpetual cycle of upheaval, uncertainty, and unease.

Join us this week as we discuss the current state of change in corporate America, why change is not the same as improvement, and what we can do about it.

Ashley's book, The Problem with Change: And the Essential Nature of Human Performance, is available wherever books are sold.
