Diagnosing the Health of an Organisation

Описание: Organisations don’t fail because of a lack of strategy.

They struggle because of unseen human dynamics playing out beneath the surface.

In this insightful episode of The Coaching Hour, we are joined by Dr Loretta Ferrucci, who challenges a common assumption in business: that clear goals, structures, and strategies are enough to ensure organisational success.

Dr Ferrucci explains why an organisation is only as healthy as the behaviours, beliefs, and daily choices of its people - from frontline staff to the boardroom. While strategy may live on paper, culture lives in relationships, reactions, and unspoken norms.

A key theme of this conversation is the role of the subconscious mind at work. We explore how deeply ingrained beliefs and early coping mechanisms, often formed in early childhood, continue to shape adult behaviour in professional environments. As Dr Ferrucci puts it, many capable adults still respond to pressure, authority, or conflict from the perspective of their three-year-old self.

These patterns don’t disappear with education, seniority, or experience. Instead, they quietly influence:

Leadership styles
Decision-making under pressure
Power dynamics in teams
Conflict in meetings and boardrooms

This episode invites leaders to ask a more honest question:

What is really driving behaviour in this organisation = - logic, or learned survival patterns?

✨ A must-watch for leaders, executives, HR professionals, and coaches who want to move beyond surface-level performance metrics and truly diagnose the health of an organisation.

Topics covered:

Why strategy alone doesn’t create healthy organisations
The link between subconscious beliefs and workplace behaviour
Early coping mechanisms and adult leadership patterns
Emotional maturity in corporate relationships
What organisational “health” really looks like

If you’re serious about sustainable performance, culture change, and conscious leadership, this conversation will give you a new lens through which to view your organisation.
