EP 764 - When Priorities Collide: The Hidden Patterns Behind Workplace Shifts
Have you ever been deep into an important project, only to have everything suddenly “re-prioritized” because something new landed on your desk? In this repurposed deep-dive from The Rated R Safety Show, Jay Allen, Ph.D. explores the unspoken reality of shifting priorities in the workplace — what it does to focus, habits, and safety performance.From last-minute cancellations to sudden organizational pivots, Jay unpacks how these constant shifts can derail even our best efforts and what they reveal about patterns, habits, and systems at work. This isn’t just a rant about frustration; it’s a decoded look at how priorities are assigned, taken away, and reshaped — and what that means for the people actually doing the work.Plus, Jay connects this conversation back to the themes of his Signal Transmission Trilogy, including Safety Mutation, and why recognizing these “mutations” in organizational behavior might be the first step toward reclaiming real safety culture.Tune in to Episode 764 of Safety FM with Jay Allen — a candid, unfiltered look at the everyday disruptions that shape how we work, lead, and learn.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
