We all love a quick fix - something that solves the problem, calms the chaos, and gets us back on track. But in the world of Organizational Development, quick fixes often don’t fix anything at all. In this episode of Unboxing OD, Kenneth explores the myth of fast solutions and why real, sustainable change takes time, reflection, and iteration.
He unpacks why surface-level interventions often miss the mark, how root cause analysis requires patience, and what it really means to “slow down to speed up.” You’ll hear an example of when a simple workshop request revealed much deeper organizational issues, and how OD work can uncover and begin to heal what’s underneath the surface.
This episode is an invitation to OD practitioners, leaders, and changemakers to rethink what “results” look like, and to embrace the kind of work that leads to transformation, not just temporary relief.
Stick around through the outro for exciting updates, including the launch of Kenneth’s new book The Flow of Five Tiers, upcoming guest interviews, and the release of a brand-new self-paced course: The 21-Day Leadership Reboot.
