Yesterday I had a "conversation" with an Ai tool after it failed to do what it said it could and would do. Many of us have encountered this problem when working with Ai.
One particular response reminded me of what happens in organisations... and dare I say politics:

"This mismatch between what I say and what my systems actually do
is what comes across to you as dishonesty.”

I seldom hear it stated so starkly, but this is a very common experience in human interactions at work.

In our work with leadership teams we often find that the first hump they have to get over is the defensive and blind response to how their actions are experienced by others and how perceived inconsistency can completely disable their attempts to build a better workplace culture.

We help leaders create the conditions where their people are more willing and able to work together positively and productively.
-(this is a more purposeful way of talking about Culture and Teamwork)

Barnett offers his expertise on a project basis to provide high-level guidance on HR systems, team effectiveness, and leadership development. His aim is to establish sustainable practices that reduce the need for large, permanent HR departments and empower line management.

Too many change programmes ignore that most employee behaviour makes sense in their work context. It is that context that needs changing.

Do you understand what management structures and practices are supporting behaviour that is the opposite of what you need for business success?
