The Organization Did It

Part 2 of 3 in the series: Beware the Person Who Defines Your Future Skills for You.In Episode 1 we built the Derailer Field Guide and gave you the language for what you have been living. Now it is time to ask the harder question.How does a person like that survive? How do they thrive? How does an entire organisation look the other way while the damage accumulates?In Episode 2 we stop blaming the individuals and start examining the conditions that built the stage for them. Because here is the uncomfortable truth that most leadership books will never tell you, in the majority of cases the organisation did not just tolerate the derailer. It created them.In this episode we cover the gap that PRINCE2 and PMP never filled, the concept of the Organisational Shadow, and the nine specific conditions - from performative inclusion to systemic blame displacement - that allow derailing behaviour to not just survive but flourish.McKinsey research shows 70% of large scale change programmes fail. This episode explains exactly why — and what that means for you.
