E104 - Consistency In A World Of Change - Podcast with Dr Michael Canic

Welcome to The Inner Game of Change . where we explore the thinking that shapes how change really happens. Today’s conversation is a special one for me. My guest today was actually the very first person I interviewed when I started this podcast during the middle of Covid back in April 2021. At the time, the world was navigating uncertainty, disruption, and trying to make sense of what consistency meant when everything around us was shifting. Since then, a lot has happened. The podcast has passed one hundred episodes, the world has moved through Covid, and we now find ourselves in another wave of transformation with Artificial Intelligence entering the workplace and our lives in profound ways. So I thought it would be meaningful to bring him back. My guest is Michael Canic , author of the book Ruthless Consistency . It was one of the books I was reading at the time when the idea of this podcast first came to me. Michael’s central idea is simple but powerful. Consistency is not about robotic repetition. It is about the relentless alignment of intentions, decisions, and actions. In this conversation we revisit the idea of consistency, but in a very different context. We explore whether consistency is the opposite of change, or whether it is actually the thing that enables change. We talk about consistency in leadership, in capability building, and in the way individuals manage themselves in a world full of distraction. And of course, we also touch on Artificial Intelligence, and how it is beginning to amplify the conditions that already exist inside organisations. This is a reflective conversation about leadership, identity, discipline, and the inner game of navigating uncertainty. I am grateful to have Michael chatting with me again.
