The Path to Impact and Human Work

The longer it takes to land the new truths of the workplace and the longer we confuse matters with wooden language and desperation to establish proprietary frameworks, the further we are from performance. It’s that simple.

Performance is not possible in the absence of safety and happiness. Our people are in a crisis of engagement and of mental health. We have to fix this.

Leadership alone can’t install psychological safety. Modelling vulnerability, etc are all nice but have no cultural lasting effect if the teams themselves are not invested. Create autonomy, and empowerment and never tolerate command and control or blame.

No one will succeed who isn’t doing regular work on themselves and the teams. The Human Work.

Whoever thinks any of these are “nice to have” or a welcomed add-on is literally not going to make it because, with every passing sprint, the lack of teaming chips a bit more from the teams’ ability to do what is expected of them and both the tech and the human debts continue to grow.
