CD's Take - Situations & Solutions
Every organization faces challenges. Every leader faces decisions. And every problem leaves clues.
On CD's Take: Situations & Solutions, leadership practitioner and doctoral researcher CD Rogers-Wright takes a closer look at real situations shaping organizations, teams, and institutions, and breaks down what's really happening beneath the surface.
Each episode covers one situation, one honest breakdown, and offers a fix leaders can actually use. Whether the topic is organizational change, workplace culture, crisis response, burnout, innovation, or leadership accountability — the question is always the same: what's really going on here, and what's the fix?
Created for Fellow Fixers everywhere, this podcast helps leaders move beyond assumptions, identify what’s broken, and take meaningful action.
Because hope is not a strategy. Accountability matters. And there's always a fix.
