Have you ever wondered why despite changing jobs the way organizations are being managed seems to stay the same? Or are you one of those who passionately study Toyota and their philosophy, evangelise Lean or go on about trying to make organisations more "agile"? Whatever your choice of poison, you likely are familiar with how frustrating that can be as nothing in your own work seems to stick.

In today's show I've invited Dr. Bob Emiliani to discuss what the underlying causes are that makes it seemingly impossible to penetrate the status quo of the classical management and why Lean and similar efforts to change our organizations keep on failing. He has documented his learnings in his trilogy of books "The Triumph of Classical Management", "Irrational Institutions" and "Management Mysterium". Enjoy!
