This episode we discuss Slogans in the workplace with one of our favourites “All accidents are preventable,”
Poetic in nature, lovely cadence and song like qualities, make this easy to remember and repeat.
So what else is hidden under the hood? What is the worldview of this statement, what argument is it trying to propose, and what outcomes is it desiring.
Is it humanistic or organisational?
What happens if you don’t repeat the slogan, or are against the slogan? Are you against the Cult?
