The Essential Nature of Sin The Blessing of Generosity Pastor Don Porter

In this insightful episode, Dustin Burleson interviews Ashley Goodall, author of The Problem with Change and co-author of Nine Lies About Work. They explore the pitfalls of constant organizational change and its negative impact on human performance, uncovering practical strategies to create stability and empower teams. Ashley draws from decades of experience at Cisco and Deloitte to offer a fresh perspective on leadership, team culture, and performance management.Ashley doesn't hold back as he explains how organizations often confuse improvement with change, assuming that one naturally leads to the other. He points out how relentless transformations—whether they're mergers, reorgs, or new systems—disrupt employees' sense of certainty, control, and belonging. These disruptions can leave people feeling untethered, like they're just waiting for the next upheaval to arrive. It's no wonder, he notes, that employees often roll their eyes when leaders announce, “We're so excited about this new change!”Dustin then steers the conversation toward solutions, exploring why teams—not companies—are the real heart of an organization. Ashley explains that while it's easy to talk about “company culture,” the truth is, culture happens on a much smaller scale. It's in the teams where people feel connected, supported, and motivated—or not. He makes a compelling case for investing in team leaders, those unsung heroes who create environments where employees can do their best work.The two also dig into Ashley's innovative approach to performance management, which he implemented at Deloitte and Cisco. Instead of the usual annual reviews that focus on ratings and past performance, Ashley championed a weekly check-in system. This simple yet powerful shift helps employees get the guidance and support they need in real time, not six months too late. Dustin marvels at how such a small change can have such a big impact, strengthening engagement, performance, and trust within teams.Toward the end, the discussion takes a broader view. Ashley emphasizes the importance of giving employees “running room”—a term borrowed from Bob Woodward—that speaks to the space and trust leaders can provide. It's not about micromanaging or constant prodding; it's about creating an environment where employees feel empowered to do their best work. For Ashley, this starts with treating employees as human beings, not just numbers on a spreadsheet. Dustin wholeheartedly agrees, sharing how these insights can help leaders rethink their approach to change and performance in their own organizations. Practical Takeaways:Rethink the frequency and necessity of organizational change initiatives.Prioritize team-level culture and equip leaders to create supportive environments.Adopt weekly "check-ins" as a transformative tool for performance management.Evaluate change initiatives for their balance of pros and cons to avoid unnecessary disruption.Links:Learn more about Ashley GoodallGet your copy of The Problem with ChangeGet your copy of Nine Lies About Work***The Burleson Box is brought to you by Stax Payments:Save Big on Transaction Fees: Boost Your Bottom Line with Stax Payments.Did you know that your practice can start saving thousands of dollars on your monthly processing costs with our preferred payments partner, Stax?

For decades, “disruption” and “change” have been seen as essential to business growth and success. Whether it's a merger or re-org or a new office layout, change has become the ultimate easy button for leaders, who pursue it with abandon, unleashing a torrent of disruption on employees. The result is what our guest calls “life in the blender”—a perpetual cycle of upheaval, uncertainty, and unease. Join us this week as we discuss the current state of change in corporate America, why change is not the same as improvement, and what we can do about it.

Ashley Goodall has spent 20 years in various roles in HR, covering everything from performance management to leadership. He spent six years at Cisco as the SVP of HR. He left Cisco to write his book, “The Problem with Change,” which was just released. In it, he addresses the problems that accompany change. To write his book, Ashley interviewed people around the world, asking them to tell their stories of organizational change. Many people told miserable stories, stories of unending change propelled by mergers, new leadership, new strategies, and much more—much of it unnecessary. What was the result?People were struggling to do their jobs because of the constant change. Yet organizations are rewarding leaders to do things that make it hard for their employees to do their work! That's a problem, right? So, what should we do instead?We have to understand the conditions of human performance to understand how we can “do” change better. Ashley begins to dissect that complicated yet fascinating topic in this episode of Workplace Stories.You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...Join the RedThread Community [1:34]Why you should listen to Ashley Goodall [4:49] What is the problem with change? [7:09]Why Ashley wrote another book about change [10:34]The problems that accompany change [12:45] Looking at meaning and purpose differently [18:53] The story of Alexander the Great [23:38] The connection between meaning and ritual [25:29] We need to stop treating humans like “SKUmans” [29:10]The lightning round [33:08]Getting good at stability management [36:38] What we can learn from “the pistols” [39:59]How to create belonging on your team [44:21]Focusing on your teams to create stability [45:43] Learning how to radicalize HR [48:53] Ashley's biggest takeaway from writing a book [53:11] The problems that accompany change Ashley addresses five core problem areas that accompany change: UncertaintyLack of control Lack of belonging DisplacementLoss of meaningThe feeling of belonging is intuitive. Humans form social groups. Those groups are massively important to psychological health, sense of identity, and cognitive processes. The way we think is socially mediated. A team gives you a sense of belonging. It's a source of massive stability. Teammates complement each other so together they can meet a goal that couldn't be achieved alone. When reorganization happens, all of the social groups at work are upended. In his book, Ashley also dove into the science of “place attachment.” People get attached to places. Place is a thing strongly tied to work. But there's also a connection between ritual and place.Our habits are a mechanism by which we grow attached to a place. Habits and rituals tied to place have people saying “It's where I do this” or “It's where we do this.” When offices are changed or people are moved, you disrupt the rituals attached to that place.Those places are a source of stability. And for people to do their best work, they need stability. All of these facets of a human—certainty, control, social groups, sense of place, ritual—are the foundation of showing up at work and being useful. Everyone wants to be useful. How we design the workplace hinges on these things.Ashley is clear: “Sooner or later you have to ask people what they want and listen to what they tell you.”How Ashley looks at meaning differentlyAshley points out that the world around us must make sense. You can't be uplifted by the mission of an organization if you can't figure out what the mission is. Science tells us that the coherence of our world is so important that when it's taken away in one place, we find it in another.There are two ingredients to meaning:Things have to make sense (which is shredded when things are changed)You need to find your own purpose. Someone can't tell you what your purpose is We encounter the world and question, “Do I understand what's going on here? Is this something that speaks to me?” If it does and someone asks if your work has meaning, you'll say “yes.” Unfortunately, people think everyone around them has to have the same meaning. It doesn't work like that. As much as they dislike it, employers aren't massively important to someone's purpose.We need to stop treating humans like “SKUmans”What characteristics of humans do we capture in our technology at work? How does that inform how we think about people at work? We track the “cogs in a machine” stuff. We record names, date of birth, someone's role, their certifications and experience, etc. but we don't record what amuses someone, what makes them smile, and the weird things they love to do. Maybe they're always late for meetings, love to bake, or love creating spreadsheets.If you think humans are interchangeable and emotionless beings, how would you describe them? As a “SKU” number. SKUs are stock-keeping units. They track what something costs, where it is in the store, what the margin is, etc. We've been doing the same to humans. And that's massively inhuman. We can't capture human work this way. How might we capture a human at work?Ashley argues for getting better at understanding what people are like at work. It's about asking questions like, “How are you offering your best to other humans? Why did you show up today?”Now that we've covered the problems with change, how do we address them? Ashley shares how stability management just might be the key (and how to navigate it) in this episode.Resources & People MentionedJoin the RedThread Community!Connect with Ashley GoodallThe Problem with Change: And the Essential Nature of Human PerformanceConnect on LinkedInConnect With Red Thread ResearchWebsite: Red Thread ResearchOn LinkedInOn FacebookOn TwitterSubscribe to WORKPLACE STORIES

On this week's episode of The Leadership Habit podcast, host Jenn DeWall welcomes leadership expert and author Ashley Goodall to discuss the problem with change! For decades, “disruption” and “change” have been regarded as crucial to business growth and success. In his latest book, The Problem with Change: And the Essential Nature of Human Performance, […] The post The Problem with Change in the Workplace with Ashley Goodall appeared first on Crestcom International.

My guest today is Ashley Goodall, a leadership expert who has spent his career exploring large organizations from the inside, most recently as an executive at Cisco. He is the co-author of Nine Lies About Work, which was selected as the best management book of 2019 by Strategy + Business and as one of Amazon's best business and leadership books of 2019. It is an awesome book - highly recommended. If, after listening to this conversation you want to hear more (and I think you will!), take a listen to him and his co-author, Marcus Buckingham, talking on the HBR Idea Cast about lie #5 - the idea that people need feedback - and how most managers think about giving feedback in an utterly wrong way - which is also an idea we dive into later in our conversation today. Prior to Cisco, Ashley spent fourteen years at Deloitte as a consultant and as the Chief Learning Officer for Leadership and Professional development.  His book, "The Problem with Change: and the Essential Nature of Human Performance" is about what we might call lie number 10: the idea that change is good and that leaders must lead change in order to be good leaders. Wholesale belief in this lie has created what Ashley calls  “Life in the Blender” - driven by what I've heard some folks refer to as “The Reorg of the Day”. I love love love the musical analogies Ashley uses to describe leadership - not as the lead guitar or first violin, but as the Ground Bass - the principal structural element of a musical piece. The Leader can help teams navigate change by playing a backbeat of stability and consistency, supporting a range of free expression and variation. Find a link to Pachelbel's Canon here and listen to the Goldberg variations here (which he mentions in the extended version of the analogy, later on in the conversation). What is that Ground Bass? For Ashley it's about helping people feel seen, connected, celebrated and clear on the story of the meaning of their contributions to the work.  This perspective aligns very well with the message Bree Larson offered here some years back. Bree is a Partner at SYPartners and shared her framework around the challenges of designing organizational change - that most change can easily result in one or more of the Six Types of Loss she identified: Loss of Control Loss of Pride Loss of Narrative Loss of Time Loss of Competence Loss of Familiarity  All of which Ashley suggests leaders can deflect or reduce through 9 key leadership skills that he outlines in depth in his book: Make space  Forge undeniable competence  Share secrets  Be predictable  Speak real words  Honor ritual  Focus most on teams Radicalize HR  Pave the way Prior to releasing the book, Ashley wrote a New York Times Op-Ed piece which is a blockbuster and is an even more succinct, poignant and straight-on condemnation of modern corporate leadership - it is also highly worth reading. This book feels a bit like a Burn Book - Ashley is pointing out fundamental misconceptions at the heart of corporate life in a direct and unvarnished manner - in the hope that some leaders will listen and start doing things differently - Leading in a way that takes into account how humans really are and what we really need to thrive at work. Ashley is very clear: companies need to look beyond wellness initiatives and corporate cheerleading and shift their focus to the fundamental environment of daily work. The effects of a corporate life caught in constant change are more than clear to anyone who's been through it: uncertainty, a lack of control, a sense of unbelonging and of displacement, and a loss of meaning As Goodall says, “The ultimate job of leadership is not disruption and it is not to create change; it is to create a platform for human contribution, to create the conditions in which people can do the best work of their lives.” Also - do listen for an extended exchange around minute 40 where we talk about the power of praise and the Paul Hollywood handshake - if you're not a Great British Bake off fan, there's still time to watch a few episodes to get in the mood - or at least witness the effect of the Hollywood Handshake on Friends star David Schwimmer here.

Copyright: ⁠https://shaolin-rainer.de⁠ Bitte laden Dir auch meine App "Buddha-Blog" aus den Stores von ⁠Apple⁠ und ⁠Android⁠. ⁠Please support me on Patreon Bindungen sind laut allen buddhistischen Richtungen die Hauptursache für Leiden. Hierbei handelt es sich nicht um die Art von Leiden, die man erträgt, wenn man krank ist oder aus Versehen die Autotür auf die Hand fallen lässt, sondern um die Art von Leiden, die mit dem Bewusstsein eines fühlenden Wesens einhergeht. Der Buddhismus zeigt Wege auf, wie man diesem Leiden entkommen kann, und es gibt zahlreiche Methoden dafür. Eine der direktesten und wirksamsten Methoden ist die Negation. Psychologisch betrachtet entsteht bei jeder Interaktion mit etwas eine bestimmte Art von Beziehung zwischen dir und diesem Objekt, eine Art Anhaftung. Die Praxis der Negation ermöglicht es dir im Laufe der Zeit, die Welt um dich herum zu erleben, ohne an diese Erfahrungen gebunden zu sein. Du kannst dich von diesen Erfahrungen lösen und frei sein. Wenn du einen Baum siehst, verliert das Gesehene seine baumhafte Eigenschaft und Individualität. Dadurch kannst du seine Essenz direkt wahrnehmen. Diese Essenz wird als Essential Nature bezeichnet oder von Buddhisten als Buddha-Natur bezeichnet. Die uralte Praxis zielt darauf ab, alles zu verleugnen, was nicht vom Selbst kommt. In indischen Begriffen ist dies als Atman bekannt und in buddhistischer Terminologie als Essential Self, Dharma oder absolute Realität. Wir versuchen durch kontinuierliche und fortschreitende Bemühungen, das Ego von unseren sensorischen Wahrnehmungen zu distanzieren. Das Ego wünscht sich Bindungen. Diese Bindungen sind es, die das Ego überhaupt erst entstehen lassen. Bevor du mit der Praxis der Negation beginnst, ist es entscheidend, dass du mit vollem Herzen, Verstand und Willen versuchst, aus dem Zustand des Leidens im Samsara zu entkommen. Diese Praxis wird nicht funktionieren, wenn sie leicht genommen wird oder wenn ein anderes Ziel als die Erlösung angestrebt wird. Bei dieser Praxis beobachten wir jede Bewegung des Geistes. Worauf der Geist auch immer gerichtet ist, erkennen und erinnern wir uns daran: 'nicht das!'. Wenn wir zum Beispiel eine Lampe betrachten, beobachten wir die Verbindung unseres Geistes damit und verneinen sie: 'nicht das!'. Wenn wir über etwas nachdenken, das wir gestern getan haben und das uns auf eine bestimmte Weise fühlen lässt, erkennen wir den Geist, der uns zu diesem Gedanken führt, und leugnen ihn: 'nicht das!'. Während wir zu unserem Auto gehen, beobachten wir die Bewegung unserer Füße, den Atem, die Arme und verneinen alles mit: 'nicht das!'. Letztendlich wird diese Übung zur Gewohnheit. Du musst dich nicht mehr daran erinnern, die Aufmerksamkeitsziele des Geistes zu verneinen. Es geschieht einfach automatisch. Wenn alle Bindungen gelöst wurden, bereitet sich der Geist auf eine erleuchtende Erfahrung vor. Du erlebst dein wahres Selbst, deine Buddha-Natur, den Atman. Der Weg ist (Du weißt schon) das Ziel! Buddha sagte in diesem Zusammenhang einmal: “Befreie dich von allem Anhaften. Das Erreichen der Befreiung liegt im Loslassen."

On this episode of the Live Greatly podcast Kristel Bauer sits down with leadership expert Ashley Goodall, author of THE PROBLEM WITH CHANGE: And the Essential Nature of Human Performance (Little Brown Spark, May 7, 2024).  Kristel and Ashley discuss the potential problem with change at work, what kind of change can be bad, what to do about it, how leaders can support their team, how to create an environment for optimal performance, and more.  Tune in now! Key Takeaways from This Episode: How to create an environment for optimal performance at work Why too much change at work can be bad Tips for how leaders can support their teams amid change Why to not micromanage The importance of rituals at work A look into Ashley's book, THE PROBLEM WITH CHANGE: And the Essential Nature of Human Performance (Little Brown Spark, May 7, 2024) The importance of building stability at work  A look into gossip and if it is good or bad ABOUT ASHLEY GOODALL & HIS BOOK, THE PROBLEM WITH CHANGE: And the Essential Nature of Human Performance (Little Brown Spark, May 7, 2024): For decades, change—and its more sleekly packaged version, “disruption”—have been seen as essential tools for the growth of any business. That's a huge problem, argues Ashley Goodall in his ground-breaking new book. While shaking things up is the first thing a new leader is expected to do, and while generations of executives have been taught that change is an unalloyed good, the reality on the ground is very diHerent. Change isn't always good, and it often fails to achieve what we expect it to (resulting in yet more change)—and a big part of the reason for this is that change makes it harder for people to do their jobs. In THE PROBLEM WITH CHANGE: And the Essential Nature of Human Performance (Little Brown Spark, May 7, 2024), Nine Lies About Work author Goodall vividly captures the downside of the constant upheaval most people experience in the corporate world—which feels, on a daily basis, like living life in a blender. Drawing on extensive research into human psychology and decades of experience leading HR teams at organizations like Cisco and Deloitte, Goodall reveals how the ongoing turmoil of corporate life creates uncertainty, a lack of control, a sense of unbelonging and of displacement, and a loss of meaning, and shows how each of these, in turn, undermines our ability to get things done. He argues that the recent increases in employee activism and quiet quitting, and the intractably low levels of engagement at work, are in fact symptoms of these problems with change—and that to address them, companies need to look beyond wellness and corporate cheerleading, and instead at the fundamental environment they create at work every day. And he suggests that stability—of the sort that paves the way for improvement at work—emerges from a clear understanding of what humans need in order to perform at their best, and that this can be found in how we lead, how we talk, and how we value teams, ritual, and predictability. As Goodall says, “The ultimate job of leadership is not disruption and it is not to create change; it is to create a platform for human contribution, to create the conditions in which people can do the best work of their lives.” I'll be in touch to discuss the possibilities for coverage.  ABOUT ASHLEY GOODALL: Ashley Goodall is a leadership expert who has spent his career exploring large organizations from the inside, most recently as an executive at Cisco.

Blending psychology, wilderness, and non-duality to take you on a meditative journey into the heart of your self-less being. The colonized mind pollutes our ability to recognize our essential nature by creating a protective small self that relies on the external world. However, we also have a Wild Mind, a metaphor for how natural, spontaneous, and organic our minds can be when we leave them to regenerate, compost & expand themselves. From our rewilded and transparent mind, we are better able to recognize our undivided Self. This 20-minute talk and 15-minute meditation have to complement soundscapes and wildcrafted sound effects to help make this theme a visceral experience, not just a concept.

What is the essential nature of the church in-light of 3 years out of COVID and why do we need to be attending church?  We discuss beautiful testimony of believers attending the local church. God speaks to us through one another. All of us as believers have been given the same Spirit who has called us to a lifestyle of encouraging one another. We are called to be a critical part of the process of discovering God's heart and will in each other's lives. If we will make time to learn how God speaks to us for others, we will discover the very words of God given by grace to the lips of man.

We are continuing our Sunday series based on the book, Birthing a Greater Reality: A Guide for Conscious Evolution by Robert Brumet. This week's exploration considers the process by which we lost touch with our essential (spiritual) nature, instead identifying with the persona formed around our ego-identity.I know that we are all well past our formative years- so you may be asking, why are we re-hashing our childhood at this point? The answer is that we are conscious evolution.That process also holds the key to a deeper sense of freedom, purpose and peace for us as individuals. We are being called to wake up to the ways that we have mistaken our identity and to reclaim the truth of our essential nature- that which is Spirit within us. While this does take into consideration the psychological aspects of our identity, it is ultimately a spiritual issue in that we have mistakenly indentified with our persona over our true, essential nature.

John 13:34-35

When people lose their essential nature by following desires, their actions are never correct. To govern a nation in that way results in chaos; to govern oneself in that way results in defilement. Therefore those who do not hear the Way have no means of returning to their essential nature. Those who do not understand things cannot be clear and calm. — Thomas Cleary, Wen-Tzu, Verse 7 Don't forget to use the resources mentioned below for tools to stay sober any time during the year.
