Your Brain's Dangerous Change Blind Spot: Leidy Klotz


Listen Later

When everyone else is adding, it pays to subtract.

Seems simple enough, but it’s a strategy that’s overlooked and misunderstood, and change projects suffer because of it.

Leidy Klotz reveals this blind spot we all share when looking to make improvements: we instinctively think about what to add rather than what to take away.

Leidy offers practical approaches to overcome this bias, like incorporating subtraction into performance reviews and using "reverse pilots" to test removing processes. As change leaders, we can make subtraction visible by celebrating what we've eliminated.

The conversation with Leidy will help you distinguish your organization by finding the courage to cut what no longer serves you. His insights at the intersection of engineering, architecture, and psychology illuminate why less is often more.

Change Signal. Cut through the blather, the BS, and the noise to find the good stuff that works in change management.
