Podcast appearances and mentions of Karl E Weick

Today we're revisiting a conversation we had with Fouad Khalil in October of 2023. Fouad is the founder of and Principal at Modly, a modular construction consultancy that provides the building and real estate sector with market research, feasibility analysis and advisory services. Today he's here to share some leadership insights.We jump right into the conversation today with some talk about liability. Tyler asks Fouad to repeat what he had explained in an earlier conversation.Fouad says that your insurance carrier will tell you…-Don't say, “It will be done this way.”-Don't get on the job site and direct other teams' workers on how to do their job.When you do these things, you're taking on liability.Eddie points out that general contractors get trained to shed liability. This leads to gray areas within the hand-off territory where information degradation occurs. Tyler mentions that some schools are unable to implement shop programs because of insurance costs.5:03 - Sweden and Building Robust TeamsFouad shares about his experience working on a project in Sweden. He recounts a conversation about potential leaks on structural wood components on the building. The answer about potential leaks was, “We'll work on the solution together.”Fouad shares about the critical path and lead times. He talks about schedule compression and how every single step in the process can become critical. A shortage of screws can result in a whole project coming to a standstill. He mentions the insights he gained from the book Managing the Unexpected. This book focuses on high-reliability organizations like air-traffic control, NASA, etc. In manufacturing, you can burn through your cash in no time. Efficiency is everything. Fouad wanted to apply this knowledge in his clients' projects.Fouad talks about the need for humility and honesty in regard to the planning fallacy. We underestimate. 20:36 - Key Lessons from the book We asked Fouad here today to discuss some of the lessons he learned from a book he mentioned to us recently. The book is Managing the Unexpected by Karl E. Weick and Kathleen M. Sutcliffe.Here are the five traits that the authors saw in high-reliability organizations:Operational sensitivityPreoccupation with failureReluctance to simplifyCommitment to resilienceDeference to expertiseWe expand upon each of these briefly. Fouad quotes Churchill: “Plans are useless, but planning is essential.” Eddie discusses the confusion he felt when his college coach told him to work at 90%. His point was to be deliberate and have a reserve. Maintain a buffer. Fouad explains that these principles apply to managing crews of any size. If you don't manage thoughtfully in these respects, your best people are going to burn out. He gives examples about how to institute quiet times throughout the day when there will be no meetings. Eddie talks about creative use of red Solo cups in the office. 33:20 - Debriefing to Avoid Repetition of the Same FailuresTyler asks Fouad to explain how effective review of failures can ensure improved performance going forward. He talks about the importance of categorizing and analyzing the failures. He refers to various historical failures that were addressed thoughtfully. Eddie connects this to recognition of safety failures even if those don't lead to serious injuries. We also discuss how the principle plays out in relationships with contractors who try to downplay mess-ups. 43:04 - Recognizing the ExpertsFouad talks about the distribution of responsibility in specific situations to the people most capable of making the best decision. It's not about staying loyal to a flow chart. If the lower-ranking person is in a better position to make the judgment, let them make the judgment. Then hand that authority back to the conventionally in-charge figure once the situation has been addressed. It's about dynamic teams.One more time, here's the book Fouad brought to our attention today: Managing the Unexpected.Find Fouad Online: LinkedIN Check out the partners that make our show possible.Find Us Online: BrosPodcast.com - LinkedIn - Youtube - Instagram - Facebook - TikTok - Eddie's LinkedIn - Tyler's LinkedInIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to us!

Let's talk about the apocalyptic— today's forecast is misty with a chance of monsters — low key 2007 creature feature, The Mist.I had seen this movie a handful of times over the years and upon a rewatch for this episode, I really wanted this movie to just be about climate change. It's easy to see it that way pure and simple — there's literally monsters in the mist outside that prevent people from going out lest they get eaten. But on closer inspection, there is so much much more going on here and begs the question — is climate change really just environmental terrorism? And who exactly is the real monster here?This episode explores the film's portrayal of climate anxiety, a psychological concept called sense-making, in and out groups, spiritual bypassing, and hopelessness.

Debbie talks to legendary business author and speaker Tom Peters.  And if you're wondering why she's interviewing a business management guru, it's because Tom exemplifies the new name of the podcast: [B]OLDER. I.e. getting bolder as you grow older. Tom is the co-author of In Search of Excellence, which was published 40 years ago and is considered one of the most influential business books ever written. The book makes the argument that excellent companies treat their employees with respect. They put people first. That was a more unusual perspective four decades ago than it is now.Tom is known for his brash delivery and has been happily haranguing audiences and readers for decades with his philosophy of people first.  In 2017 he received the Thinkers50 Lifetime Achievement Award. He also coined the term Personal Branding.And he's not stopping, even as he turns 80.In this conversation, he reflects on excellence and teamwork; passion, outrage and why they are the most important quality in a good speaker; his love for research and data and the concept of compassionomics. He also gets personal, opening up about his childhood and his mother's influence and reiterating why he is not done yet.He's as fanatical as ever and you'll hear Debbie occasionally interrupting or trying to interrupt him in this conversation. Not something Debbie normally does but Tom's Director of Programs, Shelley Dolley, encouraged her to do so. His most recent book, Excellence Now: Extreme Humanism,  is more relevant now than ever with its emphasis on creating a humane workplace. It's his eighteenth book and it may be his last, he tells Debbie. Much of his written and speech material is available—free to download—at tompeters.com and excellencenow.com.Enjoy a spirited and wide-ranging conversation with a legendary thinker.  Mentioned in this episode or useful:TomPeters.comTom Peters on TwitterIn Search of Excellence: Lessons from America's Best-Run Companies by Tom Peters and Bob Waterman (​​Harper Business; Reprint edition 2006)Excellence Now: Extreme Humanism by Tom Peters (Networlding Publishing, March 2021)Complete listing of Tom's booksThe Brand Called You by Tom Peters (Fast Company, August 31 1997)Tom Peters remembers Bob Waterman (who died Jan. 2, 2022)Debbie's Cool Friends interview with Tom Peters (2008)Susan Sargent (married to Tom Peters)Rebecca Eaton - Masterpiece TheaterMcKinsey & CoThe Firm: The Story of McKinsey and Its Secret Influence on American Business by Duff McDonald (​​Simon & Schuster; Reprint edition 2014)The Golden Passport: Harvard Business School, the Limits of Capitalism, and the Moral Failure of the MBA Elite by Duff McDonald (Harper Business; Reprint edition 2017)Tickled: A Commonsense Guide to the Present Moment by Duff McDonald (Harper; 2021)Dopesick (TV Mini Series 2021)Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty by Patrick Radden Keefe (Doubleday; 2021)Should Women Rule?

Bevor uns die Pandemie zu deutlichen und nachhaltigen Veränderungen unserer Zusammenarbeitsformen bewegt hat, war es DAS Buzz-Word der Stunde: Agilität. Mit den abrupten Anpassungen in Richtung Remote Work wurde es urplötzlich sehr still um den Begriff und das Phänomen Agilität. Ging die Agilität in die Pause? Heute sehen wir, dass die Prinzipien der Agilität in der Krise mehr gelebt als besprochen wurden. Torsten Groth ist Soziologe, Geschäftsführer der namhaften systemischen Organisationsberatung Simon, Weber & Friends und beschäftigt sich seit vielen Jahren intensiv mit der Frage, wie moderne - oder sogar post-moderne - Organisationsformen entwickelt und gelebt werden können. In seiner neuesten Veröffentlichung "New Organizing" - eine Gemeinschaftspublikation von mehr als 40 Autoren - zeigt das Autorenteam anhand von 13 Fallbeispielen, welche Herausforderungen und Möglichkeiten die Einführung neuer Organisationsformen in großen Systemen mit sich bringen. In unserem Gespräch gehen wir insbesondere auf das spannende Phänomen der Paradoxien ein, die sich zwangsläufig ergeben, wenn agile Arbeitsweisen auf klassisches Vorgehen trifft. Wie können Organisationen einerseits adaptiv auf das Marktgeschehen reagieren und sich in seiner Struktur den Dynamiken anpassen, gleichzeitig aber auch das System nicht komplett torpedieren? Vier Wege, Paradoxien zu managen, damit umzugehen, skizziert Torsten Groth in unserem Dialog. Außerdem beleuchten wir ein paar der gängigen Fehlannahmen und Klischeevorstellungen, die sich rund um Agilität ranken. Geniesst die analytisch präzisen Schlussfolgerungen und klugen Beobachtungen eines echten Organisationsdenkers. Hier noch ein paar Literaturhinweise zum Thema: Groth / Krejci / Günther: „New Organizing“, Carl Auer Verlag, 2021 Karl E. Weick: „Der Prozeß des Organisierens“, Suhrkamp Henry Mintzberg: „Managen“, Gabal Verlag Gregory Bateson: „Ökologie des Geistes“, Suhrkamp Interview: Jule Jankowski Wir untersuchen die verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Subsysteme und ihren Einfluss auf die Arbeitswelt. Welche Veränderungen erleben wir auf der Ebene Wirtschaftssystem, auf Organisationsebene, in Teams und im System Mensch? Und wie können die Suchfelder der 5 GOOD WORK Prinzipien uns hilfreich zur Seite stehen? In unserer Feature Serie laden wir Experten zu der jeweiligen Perspektive ein und diskutieren folgende Fragen: • Wie erlebst, gestaltest Du den Wandel? • Welchen Fragen sollten wir uns aktuell stellen? • Welche Ausprägung der Zukunft gestalten wir gerade? Mit den Features tauchen wir tief in die verschiedenen Perspektiven und Subsysteme unserer Arbeitswirklichkeit ein und schauen genau hin, wie wir die Zukunft gestalten. Die Zeit zu lernen ist: JETZT!

Zukunftsfähige Organisationen haben häufig eine hohe Kompetenz, sich nach Störungen schnell wieder zu erholen und ihre Handlungsfähigkeit wieder herzustellen. Dies ist ein erster Indikator für organisationale Resilienz. Was sich noch dahinter verbirgt – dazu mehr im Gespräch mit Dr. Annette Gebauer. Dr. Annette Gebauer ist systemische Organisationsberaterin und Inhaberin der Beratung Interventions for Corporate Learning (ICL) mit Sitz in Berlin. Ihre Arbeit fußt auf dem von Karl E. Weick und Kathleen Sutcliffe begründeten Management-Ansatz des High Reliability Organizing (HRO), den sie für die praktische Umsetzung in Management und Beratung konkretisiert hat. Gebauer unterstützt zahlreiche internationale Unternehmen in Veränderungsprozessen zur nachhaltigen Kulturentwicklung sowie zur Steigerung der organisationalen Lern- und Leistungsfähigkeit.

In this episode, I'm going to review an excellent book by Karl E. Weick and Kathleen M. Sutcliffe, called Managing the Unexpected, Assuring High Performance in an Age of Complexity.  This 2001 book is about the time of the tech recession. It was a time of disruption, which makes this book extremely relevant today. The big concept the authors have discussed in the book is around Highly Reliable Organizations or HROs.  Let’s explore some of the ideas and think about how you can lead your organization during these uncertain times and create your future. We'll dive deeper into these concepts: Why the book remains relevant today Key ideas around Highly Reliable Organizations (HROs): Preoccupation with failure Reluctance to simplify interpretations Sensitivity to operations Commitment to resilience Deference to expertise Thoughts for You as a Leader: The key role of the leader is to propose: What is the set of questions we need to answer? Resilience - What’s your backup plan or countermeasure? Processes - Recognize the limitations and the pattern of exceptions.

Caitie and Max go on a time-hopping adventure back to a 1980 boardroom and ahead to a birthday party in 2053. Along the way, they ask all of the important questions—except, perhaps, “Why don’t they time travel to more interesting times and places?” How do you imagine your future? Is it worth thinking more than a few moves ahead? Is it even possible? Inspired by the work of organizational theorist Karl E. Weick, Caitie posits that the best way to think about the future may be, ironically, retrospectively. The Priority team also make their usual quota of mistakes—at one point, Max thinks it’s February—but they’ll fix it in post-production. Or just travel back in time and prevent the errors before they occurred.
