FPP 04 | The shadow in the workflow : Why success feels heavy.

from First Principle Thinking · host Lochner Eksteen

Business success often hits a threshold where things become too heavy to hold. In episode 4, Lochner chats to systems architect, Wilfred Greyling and industrial psychologist, Lurinda Maree to lay bare the invisible architecture of the workplace and explore the hidden dynamics of the "shadow in the workflow", "the desert"—that dangerous middle ground where growing companies die while trying to scale and the "messiah paradox" in order to surface the unspoken emotional contracts holding teams back.
