Episode Synopsis


Host Maureen “Mo” (industrial and organizational psychology practitioner and business leader) explains why rigid long-term plans no longer work and why leaders must embrace agility, adaptability, and frequent pivots. She outlines practical shifts—90-day sprints, 30-day tests, real-time AI insights—and shows how a growth mindset and a culture of safety turn pivots into progress.

The episode includes real-world examples (retail expansion, nonprofit fundraising, workforce planning, and solo entrepreneurs), psychological research on adaptive capacity, and a leadership challenge: pick one strategy area and run a 30-day experiment to strengthen adaptability.
