What Dog Obedience Teaches Us About Workplace Capacity.
Show Notes:
What does dog training have to do with your team's performance? More than you'd think. In this episode, Kim Keane draws a surprising parallel between dog obedience methods and common workplace development strategies and why both miss the mark when they ignore the environment.

Real, lasting change comes from structuring the environment, not just fixing the individual
Whether you're a team member or team lead, ask: is this a people problem, or an environment problem?
