The only constant is change. Ashley Goodall says that life in a blender doesn’t help anyone. Goodall joins Kevin to discuss the paradox of change in organizations, where leaders promote constant disruption and change while employees struggle to cope with the uncertainty and stress it creates. Goodall emphasizes the role of teams in providing certainty, social glue, and meaningful work for individuals. He also highlights the difference between uncertainty and fear, and the need for credible safety signals in organizations.
