Part II - The "-Ility" Illusion - The Anatomy of Blame Mini-Series
Update: 2025-12-09
Description
The Anatomy of Blame Mini-Series
Part II: "We need to hold people accountable!" It sounds smart, but it's a lie. We've butchered the dictionary, smashing "responsibility," "accountability," and "culpability" into one ugly club called PUNISHMENT. In Part II, Sam performs a linguistic autopsy on these weasel words, defining what they actually mean and how our confusion guarantees we learn nothing from failure.
Sam Goodman isn't your typical consultant. He's The HOP Nerd—a guide through the ridiculous landscape of organizational culture and workplace safety. Part strategist, part comedic agitator, he uses humor and a deep understanding of Human and Organizational Performance (HOP) to expose the absurdities that hold companies back. He's taught tens of thousands of people and helped hundreds of businesses ditch the corporate theater and start learning for real.
