The Story Tax

by Balaram

Success leaves stories behind. Some become strengths. Others quietly become costs. The Story Tax explores the hidden organizational drag created when yesterday's successful decisions, assumptions, habits, and structures outlive the conditions that made them work. Each episode examines a different Story Tax hiding inside leadership, strategy, culture, decision-making, and transformation, and asks a simple question: What are we still doing because it once worked? Hosted by Balaram Krishna, author of The Story Tax.
