Welcome to another episode of Discover Fresh Perspectives! Today, our host David Gouthro is joined by two remarkable guests, Sharon Weinstein and Dina Readinger. Together, they'll delve into the transformative power of "diagnostic design thinking" and its impact on organizational culture and employee retention.

In this episode, Dina recounts a compelling case study of a successful merger between two large oil companies in Missouri, highlighting the crucial role of understanding the "people piece" in integration. Sharon underscores the importance of harmonizing people culture with business culture to ensure everyone is aligned with the company’s goals. The conversation also touches on a poignant story about a pharmaceutical company losing millions due to a lack of collaboration, driving home the need for addressing human and cultural aspects in business.

We’ll explore concepts such as psychological safety, the Core Values Index, and innovative thinking, rooted in Sharon and Dina’s extensive backgrounds in healthcare. Listen in as they share their journey in co-authoring the book, “Think Differently: 18 Strategies to Fix Broken Thinking,” and offer actionable insights for creating a supportive and engaging work environment.

Whether you’re grappling with integration post-merger, seeking to enhance collaboration in your team, or simply looking to think differently, this episode is packed with wisdom and practical strategies for everyone—from healthcare professionals to global business leaders.
