Description

Why is there so much management bullshit used in the workplace? On this episode, I speak with Professor Ian McCarthy who is the W.J. VanDusen Associate Professor of Innovation and Operations Management at the SFU Beedie School of Business. Ian recently co-authored a piece of research entitled "Confronting indifference toward truth: Dealing with workplace bullshit" and on the podcast, I talk to him about the genesis of the idea and the research findings. And he introduces the CRAP framework that he and his co-authors developed to help us all identify and respond to the challenges of Workplace Bullshit. We also briefly touch on Ian's other research into Social Media and Deep Fakes.To read a copy of the research click here: https://lnkd.in/gVq2KuvYou can also support the work being undertaken by Ian and his colleagues by completing the Workplace Bullshit survey here: https://sfulsg.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1XGmd6FDZfjwjzfFor more on Ian visit his LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ianmccarthy1/ or his faculty page: https://beedie.sfu.ca/profiles/IanMcCarthy

People are often described as the largest asset in most organisations. They are also the biggest single cause of risk. This podcast explores the topic of 'human risk', or "the risk of people doing things they shouldn't or not doing things they should", and examines how behavioural science can help us mitigate it. It also looks at 'human reward', or "how to get the most out of people". When we manage human risk, we often stifle human reward. Equally, when we unleash human reward, we often inadvertently increase human risk.
