This week on Standards Week, we’ve been talking about foundations, structure, and what helps organizations deliver consistently.

So for Throwback Thursday, I’m revisiting an episode from 2017 that looks at the other side of the coin: pace.

The question we debated was simple but uncomfortable:“Must organizations change fast… or die?”

In this episode, Mary Elizabeth and I take opposite sides of the argument: speed vs. stability. We explore the tension leaders still wrestle with today:

* How fast is too fast?

* When does “adapt or die” become harmful?

* Can organizations slow down change without falling behind?

* Does rapid change erode excellence?

* Are people resisting… or being resilient?

* What’s the difference between deliberate action and knee-jerk reaction?

Seven years later, these questions feel even more timely.
