What does it actually mean for something to be good, and who gets to decide? In this episode, Christine starts in her own yard, where a no-mow patch of native wildflowers reads as neglected to some neighbors and reads as food, shelter, and survival to the bees, butterflies, and birds. Nothing about the field itself changes. Only the definition of good does.\nThat same tension shows up inside every organization. A process one department calls inefficient may be exactly what another team relies on to manage risk. A meeting that looks unnecessary may be the conversation that prevents weeks of rework. Christine unpacks why change efforts stall so often, and why resistance is usually not about refusing to change at all. More often it is people protecting a definition of success they have been rewarded for over many years. Culture is not created by mission statements. It is created by what consistently gets rewarded.\nFrom there the conversation turns to artificial intelligence, which can optimize almost anything once someone decides what better means. AI does not invent our biases. It learns them from our hiring decisions, our performance reviews, our writing, and our data, then reflects those patterns back until we stop questioning them. This episode traces that feedback loop between human judgment and machine judgment, and lands on a question worth carrying into leadership, culture, and technology alike. Whose definition of good am I using?\nConnect with Cultivating Intelligence:BlueskyYouTubeLinkedIn","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/3VW61Y2cnQN4ixZvIX2nAj-oIaL9EYFmsXfV9xFLVEM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iN2Iy/YTk2MzYxNzE1OTM1/MTRjYTcwNDJjOTUy/NDQyNy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
