  • Modern Management Nonsense - with the worlds`s leading complexity expert Dave Snowden

    Modern Management Nonsense - with the worlds`s leading complexity expert Dave Snowden
    Sep 22 2025
    In this provocative episode, DARE TO EVOLVE host Nik sits down with Dave Snowden – Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of The Cynefin Co., creator of the Cynefin framework, and one of the most influential (and controversial) voices in applied complexity science. Known for his sharp cynicism and iconoclastic style, he challenges some of the biggest myths in modern management thinking. We dive into: - The biggest fads in management & leadership today - How everything that is made explicit will be gamed by people - Why Reinventing Organizations by Laloux failed - What makes standard organizational models and “best practices” approaches fail - How Cynefin has evolved over time Dave’s insights are provocative, unapologetically pragmatic, and deeply rooted in complexity science. If you’ve ever questioned the shallow buzzwords and rigid models dominating management discourse, this episode will shake up your perspective; and surely even make you laugh along the way.

    Ideas We`ve Lost: 8 Decades of Wisdom - with Psychology Professor Denise M. Rousseau
    Aug 27 2025
    What ideas have we lost in the way we think about work, leadership, and organizations? In this thought-provoking episode, DARE TO EVOLVE host Nik sits down with Denise Rousseau, University Professor at Carnegie Mellon and one of the most influential voices in organizational psychology. With decades of pioneering research on leadership, trust, and psychological contracts, Denise invites us to reexamine how people and organizations evolve together; and what happens when they don’t. We dive into: - Why writing remains one of the most powerful tools for clear thinking - How the very nature of leadership has changed across generations - The surprising shift toward self-made psychological contracts - Why the “dose” of any organizational intervention matters as much as the method Denise’s insights are both deeply human and rigorously evidence-based. If you’re interested in the future of leadership, organizational change, or simply how people can thrive at work, this conversation will expand your perspective.

    Scaling Human Growth in the Age of AI - with Ivy-League Grad & CEO Andy Fleming
    Jul 23 2025
    Still feeling lost or unfulfilled - even after elite education, corporate titles, and years of deep self-inquiry? You are not alone. In this episode, we speak with Andy Fleming, CEO of The Developmental Edge and co-author of An Everyone Culture. We talk about why so many high-achieving people - maybe like yourself - hit a wall, and what you need to get out of it. We explore: What Yale, Harvard, and Fortune 500 companies couldn’t provide - and what might be the missing piece for those feeling “lost” despite apparent success The crucial difference between insight and action - and why getting stuck with analyzing your past, patterns, and traumas won`t get you anywhere How individual development can be scaled fast even in organizations with 30k+ people Surprising findings why people resist using AI. Hint: It’s not about competence, but something much more deeply human How AI is shifting a game we have played for decades; from having great answers to asking great questions It was inspiring to talk to Andy about personal transformation, collective potential, and the inner work that prepares us for world-wide shifts ahead. I hope you enjoy listening to the conversation as much as we enjoyed having it! Follow PRISMA Insights for more on leadership evolution: www.prisma-insights.com
