Meet New York Times bestselling author Martin Lindstrom (one of TIME magazine’s 100 Most Influential People).
We interviewed Martin about his new book THE MINISTRY OF COMMON SENSE: How to Eliminate Bureaucratic Red Tape, Bad Excuses, and Corporate BS.
Doesn’t your workplace drive you crazy when you get cc’ed on irrelevant email chains, invited to unnecessary meetings, or forbidden by company policy to do the exact thing your boss commands you to do? These and many other frustrations stem from the same underlying cause: a lack of common sense! In an interview Martin discusses the most typical roadblocks to common sense:
(Bad) customer experience Politics Technology Meetings and Power Points Rules, Regulations, and Policies Compliance and Legal And has remedies for all.

Customer Reviews
Michael is....
He definitely has the skill and knows how to coach others. Most of his podcasts allow us to think how to improve our own business and not give away one size fit all approach. Thanks again for lifting all boats with your hard work.
The podcast I didn’t know I needed
As an older undergraduate student and operations manager, I am finding value in every podcast here so far and in the entire series on the Case Interviews podcast. Today I cited “The Organizational Design Stream” in a discussion assignment for a class. At work I have been more cognizant of how I communicate to get my message across in a concise and more effective manner. Thank you Michael and FC team!
Fantastic mind food
I have enjoyed this podcast for some time now. Great insight on the unpacking of a complex problem set. Keep up the great content!
