Maneuvering Monday
Chapter 1 Episode 4: A Culture Program
Marie is attending a flower party at her child Ally’s kindergarten, but is late and distracted by her meeting with Anne and the challenges at work. At night, she talks to her husband Thomas about how making the technology work is the easy part - making the team collaborate is much harder.
Marie reads a LinkedIn post about games people play in organizations, realizing that Mark is playing ‘the game of obfuscation’: Keeping everyone on their toes and guessing. During her next day at work, she finds out that Mark has told Natalie that Marie will launch a culture program to fix the retention problem. Although initially angered by this betrayal of trust, Marie remembers the game Mark is playing, and simply agrees to do a presentation of the culture program at the following leadership meeting.
