Work Punks
Sticking the needle into accepted workplace practices.
There's lot wrong that goes on in the workplace today and Colin, Paul and Ben aren't afraid to point it out - in fact, they delight in it. What they like even more is debunking myths, slaughtering sacred cows, challenging assumptions and generally giving 'recieved wisdom' the skewering it truly deserves.
It's all about making the workplace better, more human and a place for thriving, not just surviving. Drawing upon their extensive experience and broad knowledge, they also offer examples of how to do it better, what more progressive approaches and more modern practices look like and what alternatives there are to the 'same old same old'.
It's time to take on the Status Quo and bring in a new wave!

Size matters
Under the headline 'Size Matters' in this episode our old Punks are debating:
- Team size and Social Loafing: myth or something to worry about?
- The benefit of good conversational skills (and what are they?)
- Why is poor mental health an issue especially in large companies?
Some recommended reading on topics discussed:
- Why Less is More in Teams, Mark de Rond, HBR August 2012
- The rational manager: A systematic approach to problem solving and decision making by Charles H. Kepner & Benjamin B. Tregoe
