It begins with a story you think you've heard before. A frantic, high-stakes repair on a massive critical machine, a seasoned mechanic, and a few, heavy "extra" bolts left on the floor.
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.
