Maybe It's Not Them
See What You're Missing
You're probably wrong about what's going on at work, why it isn't working, and what to do about it.
Someone resists a change. Or stops speaking up. Or misses a deadline. Or waits to be told what to do.
And we think we know what's happening. We're convinced it's the person -- so we focus on the behavior. And the problem comes right back.
Behavior is a response to conditions.
And when we focus on what people are doing without understanding what's driving it, we waste energy solving the wrong problem over and over again.
In Maybe It's Not Them, Katherine Robinette challenges leaders to question what they think they know about workplace behavior. She reveals how to recognize the clues hiding in plain sight, ask better questions, and see what's really going on—so they can stop chasing symptoms and start shaping solutions that make sense for their people, organization, and goals.
You've nothing to lose but the problem.
What Audiences Will Take Away
- A new perspective on workplace behavior—recognizing observable behavior as potential information about underlying conditions.
- Better questions that challenge assumptions and uncover what might be going on.
- A starting point for solving the underlying problem, instead of repeatedly chasing symptoms.
Make Work Less Work
...And Participation Hard to Resist
Culture, engagement, productivity, profitability, longevity, and adaptability have one thing in common: the people doing the work.
The same people in completely different workplaces can produce vastly different results. Why?
Because some workplaces make it simple and compelling for people to thrive. And some don't.
In Make Work Less Work, Katherine Robinette reveals the conditions that turn showing up for work into wanting to be part of it—and shows leaders how they can intentionally shape a work experience where participation is hard to resist.
What Audiences Will Take Away
- Active definitions of the conditions that shift behavior, fuel momentum, and sustain lasting progress, in plain language.
- Clear, relatable examples of the conditions in action.
- Practical first steps to intentionally shape the work experience so meaningful participation becomes more compelling.
