Companies are still reducing their headcount as layoff trends persist late into 2024. The Problem With Change Author Ashley Goodall is asking the question of "what's really going on?" as many of these corporations remain profitable, but seek out radical changes to course correct problems that may not even be there.
Goodall sits down with Yahoo Finance, explaining how restructurings actually deter productivity:
"If you look at the science of human performance, which is arguably a kind of important thing to look at if you're leading a company that has humans in it and we're trying to help them perform, you find out that the foundation of a lot of great performance is stability, which is not stasis. It's not standing still, but having a reasonably predictable environment so we know how we plugin and we know how we can interact with others and we know how we can collaborate and we know how we can innovate."
