Episode 195: Flugidity Revisited: Why We’re Still Talking About Structure vs. Flexibility Back by popular demand… or maybe just our own curiosity.

Bob 'n Joyce Talk HR 'n OD

After we hit “stop” on our last episode, Tight Ship or Jazz Band?, we realized the conversation wasn’t over. The tension between discipline and flexibility kept tugging at us — and stirred up a few stories (and laughs) we hadn’t yet shared.

So we’re back, diving deeper into the power and pitfalls of routine, the magic of improvisation, and why finding that balance matters more than ever in today’s workplace.

In this follow-up episode, Bob ‘n Joyce:
• Unpack why some habits feel safe but may be limiting innovation
• Talk about real-life moments when “flugidity” made all the difference
• Explore how leaders can create cultures that flex without falling apart
• Challenge listeners to reexamine what structure they’re clinging to — and why

Whether you’re running a tight ship or playing in a jazz band, this encore conversation is for anyone trying to lead with more ease, creativity, and courage.
