Growth Hacking Culture starts from the opposite premise: if your best people are disengaged, burned out, or leaving, the system is broken, not them. Hosted by Ivan Palomino, this top 5% global podcast brings you unfiltered conversations with the people rewriting the rules of work: executives from Apple, Goldman Sachs, and Zappos, organizational psychologists, neuroscientists, and founders who’ve built cultures that perform without burning people down. No corporate wellness fluff. No recycled leadership clichés. Just the behavioral science, psychology, and uncomfortable truths behind workplace culture, employee engagement, and leadership that actually works. For HR leaders, CHROs, founders, and executives who suspect the standard playbook is the problem.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-21T20:20:00.709377+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/growth-hacking-culture-7025931"},"episode":{"title":"Stop Blaming Resistance: What Actually Kills Organizational Change | Jeff Wetherhold","slug":"stop-blaming-resistance-what-actually-kills-organizational-change-jeff-wetherhold","published_at":"2026-05-12T04:05:04+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/growth-hacking-culture-7025931/stop-blaming-resistance-what-actually-kills-organizational-change-jeff-wetherhold","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/growth-hacking-culture-7025931","url":"https://podcast.ivanpalomino.net/e/stop-blaming-resistance-what-actually-kills-organizational-change-jeff-wetterhold/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/v7pf723apiy96zcd/riverside_copy_of_jeff_magic_episode_apr_20_2026_ivan_palomino_s_stuaw3qw.mp3","summary":"Seven out of eight organizational changes fail. Not because the strategy was wrong. Not because the timeline was unrealistic. Not because the employees were difficult. Because nobody on the leadership team knew how to have the real conversation that change requires. Not the announcement. Not the update. The one where you sit with someone's ambivalence, listen to what's underneath the pushback, and help them find their own reasons to move forward. Jeff Wetherhold has spent over 20 years studying exactly this gap. As a Harvard-trained behavioral science researcher, certified change practitioner, and founder of Change with Dignity, he has trained thousands of leaders across healthcare, government, and organizations including MIT on what genuinely moves people through change — without losing them in the process. His argument is direct and backed by data: disengagement and turnover are not the inevitable price of change. They are the price of communication left to chance. And until organizations treat change as a communication problem first — not a planning problem, not a framework problem — the 88% failure rate isn't going anywhere. In this conversation with Ivan Palomino, Jeff breaks down why the language of resistance does more harm than good, how motivational interviewing gives leaders a completely different path forward, and what behavioral science tells us about ambivalence that most change programs completely ignore. In this episode: Why employees aren't resistant — they're rational, and there's a crucial difference The 11x and 19x amplification effect that determines whether people talk themselves into or out of change Why selling change always backfires — and what genuine engagement actually looks like How introverts can lead change conversations more powerfully th…","meta_description":"Seven out of eight organizational changes fail.
