Signals & Levers - Part III with Elisabeth Hendrickson & Joel Tosi
Is your tech team falling for the illusion of control?
In this week’s episode, we sit down (again!) with authors of “Signals and Levers,” Elisabeth Hendrickson and Joel Tosi to talk about the events that led up to writing their book.
Tune in to the third of our three-part episode where we cover 30-minute exercises you can run TODAY, from listening to non-dashboard "signals" to dissecting organizational illusions.
