Episode 29: Mastery, Membership and Meaning with Dr. Rosabeth Moss Kanter
In this episode, Stuart Paap sits down with Dr. Rosabeth Moss Kanter, the Ernest L. Arbuckle Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School. Dr. Kanter reflects on five decades of research into why organizations resist change and what drives meaningful workplace commitment. She breaks down her foundational "Three M's" framework (mastery, membership and meaning) and explains how leaders at every level can move beyond transactional management to build high-performing, purpose-driven cultures. The conversation explores how to navigate organizational disruption, scale companies humanely through mergers and acquisitions, and foster agency within peripheral or matrixed teams. Dr. Kanter makes the case for cross-sector coalitions as a way to tackle problems too big for any single organization, and explains why leaders should encourage their teams to think beyond traditional workplace boundaries. Drawing on examples from healthcare, biopharma and tech, she shows how recognition, purpose and continuous innovation keep organizations ready for change.

Hill, the Wallace Brett Donham Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School and faculty chair of its Leadership Initiative, to unpack her new book, Genius at Scale.
