Episode 271: One of my favorite guests, Carl Weaver, is back and he has brought a doozy of a question: How are Associations like the "Planet of the Apes?" We do our best to answer this question but, as we often do, we get distracted by our curious minds and the marketplace of ideas! We talk about associations, confusion of purpose, tiered societies, the history of certain behaviors, knowing the "why" of things like budget line items, the evolution of societies, good and bad tension in organizations, and of course, books! If you like to meander through the world of ideas, join us for this virtual walk as we look at connections differently and do some name dropping. Get to know us better too! What do you think associations have in common with science fiction? Share a comment!
