Longform Thoughts: Why Organizations Undermine Creativity & Potential

For the re-launch of the Boundless podcast, I'm releasing a previously Patreon-only audio discussion of a piece I wrote - Crisis at Work - which was published in the fall of 2017.

*You can read the piece here*: Crisis At Work

I talk through six key reasons why organizational fail to unlock human potential:

1. We're defaulting to the wrong goals (shareholder value) 2. We're mistaking authority for performance (the Tom Brady principle) 3. We aren't providing a connection to purpose 4. We don't understand how organizations operate (Chaos theory) 5. We aren't giving people autonomy 6. We're choosing comfort over growth
