Good Intentions, Bad Outcomes
Explore the real-world challenges and workplace practices that don’t always go as planned. These are often things that start with good intentions but end up causing problems beneath the surface. Often, organizations are unaware of the negative impact these practices have, both on people and outcomes. In every episode, we take a closer look at a situation that’s not quite right. We break down what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what steps can be taken to address it in a meaningful way.
