Ep. 572 - How to Make Positive Change, Feat. Hal Macomber

Jason Schroeder welcomes back Hal Macomber to dig deeper into why Takt, Last Planner, and other lean systems fail, not because the mechanics are wrong, but because the system around them is designed for people to fail. They walk through the three reinforcing loops behind real change, personal results, networking, and business results, and name the archetypes that quietly drag every change effort down. The episode closes with two unforgettable stories about finding real purpose behind the work, and a reminder that changing the goal changes everything.
