Make Common Sense Common Again, with Martin Lindstrom

Published by Mickey Connolly at January 29, 2021

What’s happened to common sense?

Martin Lindstrom, author and globally recognized expert in the domains of brand, consumer behavior and culture transformation, joined Mickey Connolly for a candid conversation about something companies everywhere sorely need: common sense.

Martin wrote his new book, The Ministry of Common Sense, for organizations around the world who have “become so entangled in their own internal issues, and further beset by reams of invisible red tape, that they’ve lost sight of their core purpose.” His book and research offer wisdom for how a frustrated community can take waste and stress out of their system and add more meaning, joy and productivity to work.

Throughout the conversation, Mickey and Martin discuss:

  • How Martin found himself moving from being a globally recognized expert on the power of brand to caring about organizational culture
  • What empathy has to do with “common sense” and how it can take thoughtless waste out of organizations
  • Why leaders should put the same strategic attention on how their customers and employees feel as they do on the “rational” side of business
  • What it takes to create real, meaningful change in an organization
  • The first steps towards forming your own “Ministry of Common Sense” for your business

The Ministry of Common Sense is out now. You can learn more about Martin and the book at here, or purchase on Amazon.
