Lean Blog Audio — More on “Motivational Interviewing” as a Method for

Back in December, I wrote about a method called “Motivational Interviewing” (MI), something I learned about from a social worker who was also at the Lean Startup Conference.

I recently ran across Ron Oslin, who is an internal Lean coach at CapitalOne. He has been using the MI method and has trademarked the phrase “addicted to the status quo.” It’s apt.

I’ve chatted with Ron and will be doing a podcast with him soon.
