This episode, I speak with Jeff Bednar, Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior and Human Resources in the BYU Marriott School of Business at Brigham Young University. 

In the pod, we talk Jeff's recent article (with Jacob Brown, Ph.D.) looking at Organizational Ghosts, which is when leaders continue to influence behaviors and emotions within the organization long after they are gone. This leads to a larger conversation about heroes in organizations and what happens when a hero's legacy is challenged or when ghosts prevent the organization from making needed changes.
