I’m starting a podcast titled The Possibility of Business.
My first episode is with Pam Dodd, aka my mom. She’s a big reason I got into the organizational development field. In the 1960s she designed a multidisciplinary major at Penn focused on sociology, psychology, and management—uncommon at the time. In the 1990s she got a PhD at Michigan in organizational psychology and social work and did her dissertation on what it takes to be a bright and ambitious woman in business. We explore her career trajectory, the limits of academic models, and what makes a great company great.
About The Possibility of Business
I believe business has the opportunity to be a larger net positive force in society than it is. Moreover, I believe it has an obligation to be. I’ll talk with leaders and thinkers who believe that too. We’ll explore what they’ve found works, what doesn’t, and what they’re encouraged about on the road ahead.
Episodes will be available here on Substack and wherever you watch or view podcasts.
