Catch My Drift

Why Small Workarounds Become Big Failures

You've sat in meetings where the official process was described one way, while knowing full well the team does it differently. You've watched a workaround get passed from one shift to the next until nobody remembered why the original rule existed. You may have even defended the workaround yourself — because honestly, it works.

The book is coming.

Be the first to know it's available.

Catch My Drift is for the leader who is close enough to the work to recognize drift — and senior enough to do something about it. Don Goble is a human performance and high reliability consultant with 45 years of experience across nuclear power, healthcare, and the U.S. military. He works with organizations that can't afford to be surprised by their own drift.
