Exit Interview by Patrick Donegan #140
For some time, I’ve been looking for one “source” that curates modern takes on HR Tech, perspectives from the people who build it, and its impact on enterprise — something that’s tailor-made by professionals for decision-makers.
I never found it — so I decided to build it.
Every week, I’ll be sharing fresh insights on tech platforms, design, data, and the future of work — straight to your inbox.
My Thoughts
It shouldn't always take a moment of transition or a challenging event to consider a fresh perspective. ?? In fact, the businesses that thrive the most are the ones that embed continuous improvement and strategic reassessment into their DNA. These organizations understand that the business landscape is ever-changing, and to remain competitive, they must be agile, adaptable, and always ready to pivot. ??
In his book "The Advantage," Patrick Lencioni emphasizes the importance of organizational health ?? as the ultimate competitive advantage. He argues that healthy organizations are more intelligent and capable because they can align, execute, and renew themselves faster than their competitors. This health comes from a culture of cohesion and clarity fostered by continuously asking the right questions and embracing the answers, even when they lead to change. Lencioni's insights highlight that success is not just about having the right strategy or being in the right market; it's about being able to adapt, learn, and grow together as a team. ??
Take the first step toward embedding this philosophy of continuous improvement and strategic reassessment into your organization by creating a culture that prioritizes organizational health. ?? Ask and address these key questions inspired by Lencioni's framework:
By engaging with these questions regularly, you create a dynamic process where your strategy and operations can adapt in real-time to the changing business environment. ?? This approach will not only improve your organization's health but allow you to align more effectively, execute more efficiently, and renew your strategies and processes faster than the competition.
Give it a try, and let me know how it turns out. ??

This shift in perspective is driven by the need for diverse and adaptable talent to fill in widening gaps in the workforce. This step marks a positive change towards more inclusive hiring practices. By considering candidates with the right mix of skills, certifications, and practical experiences, rather than dismissing applicants without a degree at the start, we can be one step closer to achieving a more dynamic and competitive job market.
