What a thrill to be interviewed on ParkerGale’s amazing Private Equity Funcast. I was interviewed fellow organizational health nerd, Paul Stancik. What I appreciate about Paul is his intellect, often displayed in unique turns of phrase (‘Paulisms’), and his open-mind. He’s genuinely excited to learn something new. Enjoy this conversation all about the competitive advantages of healthy organizations.

John Cleese had it right when he filmed his hilarious video, “Meetings, Bloody Meetings.” As a Principal Consultant with The Table Group, the subject of meetings is often discussed when working with leadership teams on their journeys to organizational health.
