Ep. 29 Against the Grain: Saul Betmead on Strategy, Structure, and the Psychology of Change

🎙️ Episode Title: Against the Grain: Saul Betmead de Chasteigner on Strategy, Structure, and the Psychology of Change 🎧 Episode Description: What if your biggest risk isn’t failure—but the illusion of success? In this episode of Strategy Meets Reality, Mike Jones is joined by Saul Betmead de Chasteigner—organisational psychologist and strategic transformation advisor—to explore how “success” often creates the very blind spots that derail execution. They unpack the psychology of resistance, the dangers of motion over progress, and how clarity, feedback, and structure can enable real organisational transformation. From anti-complacency systems to autonomy and coordination, this conversation is a refreshingly honest look at why strategy fails—and what to do about it. 🎯 Key Themes: Why strategic theatre hides in plain sight Success syndrome and the psychology of denial Autonomy and structure as a creative tension The role of lived feedback in transformation Challenging assumptions, not just people 🕒 Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction to Saul Betmead De Chasteigner 01:40 – Career Journey and Transformative Thinking 03:27 – Challenging Assumptions and the Psychology of Change 05:59 – The Success Syndrome and Organizational Blind Spots 08:27 – The Theory of Strategy and Execution 10:59 – Balancing Autonomy and Structure in Organizations 13:35 – Team Dynamics and Coordination 16:22 – The Role of Values and Principles in Organizations 18:44 – The Importance of Feedback Loops 21:09 – Anti-Complacency Systems and Strategy Development 31:24 – Exploring the Foundations of Strategy 34:41 – The Pursuit of Viability 37:20 – Understanding Change and Resistance 42:55 – The Importance of Clarity in Transformation 47:33 – Challenging Assumptions and Embracing Diversity 59:58 – Outro 🔗 CONNECT & SUBSCRIBE 🎧 Full episodes: https://www.lbiconsulting.com/strateg... 📺 YouTube:    / @strategymeetsreality   🎙 Spotify/Apple: https://strategymeetsrealitypodcast.b... 💬 Connect with Mike Jones:   / mike-h-jones   🌐 Learn more about Saul:   / saul-betmead   🔎 Keywords: #strategy #transformation #leadership #OrganisationalPsychology #Execution #SuccessSyndrome #autonomy #feedback #changeleadership #SaulBetmead #strategymeetsreality #podcast
