A HOP Podcast (With No Name)

We discuss how changing the way we view discipline as a way to drive accountability does not mean that we lower expectations of our teams or the people we work with.

We discuss what it's like to constantly push for change in an organization that is set in its ways. Also, there may be a poem released at some point?

We respond to a listener question about "How do I know that I know enough about HOP to start applying it at work".Andy's recommendations:(Academic works that explain foundational concepts)The Social Psychology of Organizing - Weick Understanding Complexity - Professor Scott E.

We share some ideas we have for future episodes, but ask for you to give us direction. Let us know what you'd like us to focus on.

Andy is often asked how HOP and Operational Learning can be used in parenthood. So with her oldest daughter's first day of school tomorrow, we decided to do some operational learning about how Penelope is feeling going into the big day.

Well, we decided to end this mini-series with a big one. Andy argues that all accidents are not preventable and what we should be doing about.

We continue our argument/counterargument series with point 3 - We cannot tolerate exceptions to cardinal rules.

We continue our "both sides of the debate" series - this time it's all about accountability.

Andy (and with a little help from from Chat GPT) begins her counterargument against herself from episode 59. There first point: "Root cause does (not) exist"

In an attempt to model a debate team, we argue against HOP, the problems (we're told) it causes, and why we should continue with the status quo.
