Your Shot of Fearless Culture #350: Interruptions at Work

Where change agents find their weekly dose of culture insights and exercises, one topic at a time.

Rethink how you deal with interruptions – from recovering control when you’re interrupted to being respectful when you need to interrupt a colleague.
