The Business Philosopher Within You
Podcast
Human Strategies for Cultivating a Self-Sustaining Organization
Welcome to The Business Philosopher Within You podcast, where we help our listeners explore and unlock the Business Philosopher within themselves, enabling them to nurture a human organization that is high-performing, self-sustaining and scalable for generations to come.
Why this Podcast
Today's business management philosophies are deeply rooted in the Scientific Management Theories developed in the 1800, which systematically removed from management many qualities that made us human.
As a results, our business organizations are running at a fraction of their maximum capacity while causing disengagement among our employees and dissatisfaction with their work, often resulting in burnout, despair and existential crisis stemming from unfulfilling work.
Forge Human Organizations that Outlast You
On this podcast, we help our listeners explore and unlock the business philosopher within them, enabling them to build human organizations that are high-performing, self-sustaining and scalable for generations to come.
Our conversations explore frameworks, ideas, strategies and tools that aid us in awakening the inner business philosopher within each of us.
01
Build a Self-Perpetuating Business
When a business is overly dependent on the charismatic leadership of one person or a few key individuals in the organization, it remains an unsustainable organization that cannot scale beyond its initial stages of success.
We discuss management strategies that deeply engage the individuals within our business, tapping into the core of their humanity, so that they become self-empowered organizations and can endure for generations to come.
02
Inspire a Self-Empowered Organization
When an organization relies heavily on the performance and personal leadership of a few key individuals, it fails to foster a culture of self-empowerment within the organization.
We explore strategies to infuse humanity into organizational systems, processes, and standard operating procedures. By doing so, we aim to inspire a self-empowered organization capable of scaling its operations beyond the dependency on a few individuals.
03
Enable High-Performing Work Teams
When our employees reserve their best work for part-time side hustles, weekend charity projects and evening hobbies, our teams cannot perform at their peak levels.
We bring perspectives on empathetic leadership that enable us to engage our teams at the core of their humanity, allowing them to perform at their peak capacity while experiencing fulfillment and satisfaction in their work.
