Work of Fiction

By: NOBL Collective
  • Summary

  • We're members of NOBL, an organizational design collective that helps leaders align company culture to strategy. Every month, we take a break from helping real organizations change to discuss fictional leaders and organizations from movies and TV: What works? What doesn’t? And most importantly, we talk about the simple tools they (and you, our listeners) can implement to make the workplace better.

  • Bringing Your Whole Self to Work in "Severance"
    Apr 30 2022
