“Wrong is wrong, even if everyone does it. Right is right, even if only you do it.” Sounds inspiring, right? But what happens when this noble principle crashes into corporate reality?
In this episode, we dissect the dangerous comfort of following rules that stopped making sense years ago. Why do smart people keep creating reports nobody reads? Why do we attend meetings that accomplish nothing? Why do we follow processes that everyone knows are broken?
The uncomfortable truth: Most of what we call “right” in organizations isn’t about effectiveness—it’s about conformity. It’s about not having to think. It’s about covering yourself when things go wrong.
What you’ll discover:
- Why “that’s how we’ve always done it” is the most expensive phrase in business
- The real cost of systematic thinking abdication
- How to distinguish between what works and what’s merely written down
- Questions that will make you uncomfortable (and why that’s exactly what you need)
- The quiet rebellion of common sense in a world of blind compliance
Perfect for: Anyone who’s ever felt trapped by processes that serve the system better than they serve people. Leaders tired of managing theater instead of results. People ready to choose thinking over following.
Warning: This episode may cause you to question things you’ve never questioned before. Side effects include increased clarity, reduced tolerance for corporate theater, and the dangerous urge to ask “why” instead of just “how.”
