S4.E9. Gus Power. Do Things You Can’t Describe Rather Than Describe Things You Can’t Do.

There is plenty of stuff that should be common sense but it isn't. In this episode, Gus Power rants about many of such things: from abusing agile principles, through pretending to be aligned, to the misjudgments that stem from the ladder of inference. We tap into the topics of employee motivation, the innovation trap and also the phenomenon of weak consensus every organization on this planet should be aware of. You are up for a ride with this conversation.
