The Power of Positive Deviance

Every system has its quiet stars. The people who find better ways to work within the same rules and resources. In this episode, I explore the concept of positive deviance, the practice of finding and amplifying what’s already working. Drawing on research from Jerry and Monique Sternin, Richard Pascale, Kim Cameron, and Jane Dutton, I share how small, local solutions can spark big, lasting change.
