As humans, we frequently think in absolute terms, which lead us to believe that extreme amounts of corporate profit – allowed in a capitalist economic system – also cause extreme damage. While this notion often holds, there are exceptions and caveats. On today’s episode of The Decision Corner, our host Dr. Brooke Struck sits down with Phillip Haid, CEO and founder of social impact marketing agency Public Inc.
The difference between lying and bullshit is that liars want their audience to believe their message and bullshitters don’t care. Bullshit is about saying whatever it takes to convince another party of something about the speaker – usually that they are competent and useful. This concept has trickled into the workplace in an insidious way.
Brooke speaks with Jean-Nicolas Reyt, Assistant Professor of Organizational Behaviour at McGill University in the Desautels Faculty of Management. Jean-Nicolas’ research focuses on the meaning employees attach to their work and workplaces. In their discussion, Brooke and Jean-Nicolas discuss the rationale for a shift from Scientific Method approaches to management, in the context of increased remote working driven by the pandemic, as well as a greater demand for work flexibility from high-value employees.
