Discover innovation in leadership and organizational change with Professor Emerita Karen Golden-Biddle as we explore her upcoming book, “The Untapped Power of Discovery”. This episode promises to challenge your perceptions, revealing that discovery isn’t just for the chosen few—it’s a creative endeavor we can all partake in. Karen shares astonishing real-world examples, like Intuit’s revelations from Quicken usage, to illustrate how discovery is not merely an outcome but a journey that can lead to profound insights and inspire better futures.

Step into a masterclass on cultural change, as we dissect Hirschman’s concepts of voice, exit, and loyalty through Karen’s personal factory anecdotes and a case study of healthcare transformation. For leaders eager to foster a culture of inquiry and navigate the complexities of strategic planning, Karen offers actionable steps and practical exercises, such as the benefits of maintaining a ‘surprise journal.’ This conversation is an invitation to engage with genuine curiosity, embrace the unexpected, and collectively step into the unknown, equipped with the tools to turn doubt into a catalyst for growth and learning.

Order “The Untapped Power of Discovery” by Karen Golden-Biddle here. Explore her website karengolden-biddle.com for insights, resources, and more. Uncover transformative strategies for embracing curiosity and driving positive change in your organization.
