Most of us have worked in companies at some point in our lives, and know one thing for sure: working life is odd. The dynamics are messy, the hierarchies are often unjust and, when things go wrong, people start acting very strangely indeed.
Corporate Bodies is a podcast series asking: why are organisations so weird? And what can we do to make them better?
Across 11 episodes, organisational development practitioners Kate Swade and Mark Walton set out to explore how one core concept – that companies are legal people – impacts on the whole lifecycle of an organisation, and on everyone who works for it.
In each episode, Kate and Mark explore a different aspect of organisational development with the help of a range of contributors, each with their own unique lived experience of organisational weirdness.
