Recently I was watching " The Good Place" and together with many philosophical statements, Season 4, Episode 11 ( Mondays, Am I Right? ) motivated me to write some points of about change management which presented in this episode.   Despite the title of this episode which demonstrates the huge pain of working humans (going to work on Mondays 😏), this episode and episodes before this are picturing good examples and lessons of change management and transformation in organizations. Mixing agile project lessons and philosophy with comedy made this concept fun and exciting to learn. We watch how effective communication with all stakeholders makes it much easier and innovative to transform an organization.

Watching The Pentaverate and at episode 3 there was a quote from Peter Drucker : "No institution can possibly survive if it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it. It must be organized in such a way as to be able to get along under a leadership composed of average human beings." In some way, it is true but how many businesses in Fortune 500 follow this rule?

The answer to the above questions is: Many, too many! In the early years of my career, I was thinking that if I used some complex words in my interactions with customers and colleagues, it would give me a professional face and prove that I am smart and well aware of the environment!

Gradually I learned to use jargon in some specific places where there was real necessity to express specific topics. Thanks to this discovery, my communication effectiveness advanced simultaneously and th...
