We'd love to hear from you so send us a message!

Our latest episode of the OrgDev podcast is with Steve Hearsum. Steve has recently published his first book called No Silver Bullet: Moving Beyond Quick Fix Solutions in Business and the Psychology of Change Management. We had an energising time talking with Steve and unpacking why we are so tempted by quick fixes both as leaders.  We covered a lot of ground in less than an hour including the problems caused by the non-stop search for silver bullets to organisation challenges, the rise of the thought leader and what we can do to change these fixations.

Steve Hearsum supports and challenges his clients to discover their 'edge and stretch' when aiming for more than just 'better sameness'. Renowned for his ability to create useful discomfort in service of learning, he has been commended for having “a knack of not letting people off the hook, without leaving them feeling like they’re on the hook”.

In addition to his consultancy work, Steve serves on the faculty for the Masters in People & Organisation Development at the University of Chichester, managed by Mayvin, with a focus on the future of organising.
