We complain that there isn’t enough time to get the work done.
And then we fill our calendars with meetings that achieve very little.
In this short Tiny Culture Change episode of Ways to Change Your Workplace, Prina Shah challenges leaders to make one deceptively simple change: cancel one recurring meeting that adds no real value — and don’t replace it.
Because time is one of your people’s most valuable resourc...
What if your employees’ lack of trust isn’t a culture problem?
What if mistrust is actually a perfectly rational response to the workplace you’ve created?
In this solo episode of Ways to Change the Workplace, Prina Shah challenges one of the most common assumptions about workplace culture: that trust is something leaders need to build, demand or manufacture.
Instead, Prina argues that trust is an outcome.
Employees ga...
In this episode of Ways to Change The Workplace, Prina Shah sits down with Petra Zink to unpack a concept most leaders talk about - but few truly understand: trust as a measurable return on investment.
Petra challenges the idea that trust is just a “nice-to-have” and instead reframes it as a strategic, compounding asset that directly impacts decision-making, influence, and commercial outcomes.
Together, they e...

What if we've been thinking about work all wrong?
We often believe that what we give our employer is our knowledge, our expertise, our creativity or our effort. But beneath all of those lies something even more valuable.
Our time.
In this reflective solo episode of Ways to Change The Workplace, Prina Shah explores why time - not talent - is the true currency of work. Every working day, we exchange irreplaceable moments of our lives wi...
