It’s not soft—it’s strategic.
OD starts when we hear what’s not said.

Resilient organizations aren't built by accident. They have:
• Networked structures (not hierarchies)
• Psychological safety
• Continuous learning
• Shared information
• Simplicity
• Slack capacity
Going faster without these? You're heading for a speed trap.

The Blind Spots of Wisdom: Cipolla's Principles for Resilient Organizational Development

I've always been fascinated by the hidden dynamics that shape our organizations, and when I first encountered Carlo Cipolla's theory about counterproductive behaviors, it was one of those lightbulb moments that changed how I view organizational challenges forever.
