The Pathless Path with Paul Millerd

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
