    692. Level Up: Fixing Broken Hierarchies and Organizations with Nir Halevy
    2026/10/16
    Nir Halevy is a professor of Organizational Behavior at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and the author of the new book called Level Up: Why Hierarchies Are Broken and How to Fix Them.Greg and Nir argue that hierarchy can never be eliminated from organizations because of coordination needs, division of labor, and human drives for social comparison, achievement, predictability, and safety, yet it can become self-reinforcing and abusive. Nir diagnoses “broken hierarchies” via his three interlinked symptoms—ultra-competitiveness, injustice, and instability—which damage wellbeing, retention, and performance, and can be worsened by misdesigned incentives and oblivious leaders. He proposes a treatment framework—CPR: common value, pluralism (multiple pathways and dimensions for status), and relatedness—along with structural options like co-leadership to dilute domineering “dark triad” leaders. They also discuss examples from sports, ballet, secrecy at work, and measurement signals like turnover, absenteeism, and disengagement.unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.Chapter Timestamps:00:00 Meet Nir Halevi00:44 What Is Hierarchy02:31 Tournament Theory Gladiators04:37 Why Hierarchy Persists06:51 Leadership Avoidance09:03 Pluralism In Status11:36 Is Status Zero Sum14:51 Three U Breakdown16:09 Ultra Competitive Cultures17:30 Injustice And Instability18:27 Intentional Or Accidental19:48 Changing Culture From Within21:58 Burnout And Wellbeing22:39 Work Meaning Metrics22:55 Secrecy Stress Tradeoff23:58 Leader Blind Spots24:34 Distance And Construal25:08 Power Versus Status25:57 Designing Stability28:44 Turnover And Mobility30:19 Narrative Through Promotions30:47 Status Momentum Stress31:35 Dark Triad Leaders34:00 CPR Fix Framework34:59 Common Value Examples37:05 Recognition Without Dilution38:54 Relatedness And Community40:35 Creative Retirement Belonging42:12 Organizational Checkups KPIs43:15 Measuring Early Warning Signs43:53 Final Takeaways And BookEpisode Quotes:How everyday action shapes hierarchies19:48: I would say that it's not just the responsibility of top management or the CEO or the HR leader to kind of take care of the structure of the hierarchy because there are a lot of everyday behaviors that we engage in, right? So, Greg, when you spread malicious gossip about a coworker, right, that pulls them down in the eyes of others, and maybe that creates fewer opportunities for them to collaborate. When you're writing a gratitude letter for a colleague, that actually creates a different type of culture for all of us, right? When someone makes a contribution that is not really valued by others, but you double down and emphasize their contribution, you really highlight it, you broadcast it more, then you're contributing to kind of a pluralistic hierarchy. So I think, yes, there are some org design features that are coming from the top down. On rethinking the path to leadership08:45: We can be more pluralistic about the pathways for gaining power. We don't have to assume that leadership involves politics or undermining other people or fierce competition and stabbing people in the back. There are different ways to contribute and ascend and become a leader and lead once you're in that position.Status doesn't have to be a zero-sum game11:47: A lot of people tend to think about status as a zero-sum game. We don't have to think about it as a zero-sum game, just like we don't have to think about negotiation as a zero-sum game, right? So, if you're creating a pluralistic environment where there are a lot of different dimensions, bases, pathways to status, then it doesn't have to be mutually exclusive.Show Links:Recommended Resources:John Roberts podcastPaul MilgromOrganizational ArchitectureEdward LazearHierarchyBill BellamyValue PluralismThe Paths to Power podcastCharles A.

    691. The Accidental Origins of Capitalism with Trevor Jackson
    2026/10/13
    Why is it easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism? Believe it or not, the economic system was not inevitable in human history, and it’s not inevitably in our future either. Trevor Jackson is a professor of history and political economy at UC Berkeley. He's the author of The Insatiable Machine: How Capitalism Conquered the World, a book that traces the origins and evolution of capitalism, as well as Impunity and Capitalism: The Afterlives of European Financial Crises, 1690–1830.Trevor and Greg discuss how capitalism emerged not by design but through accidental solutions to immediate problems, why historians and economists see the past so differently, and how financial crises went from being treated as crimes to being treated as natural disasters. They also explore the purpose of history in the modern world and why academic historians have lost faith in their own relevance even as public demand for historical knowledge has never been higher.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:What makes capitalism distinctive?27:51: To me, what is distinctive about capitalism is not that we have commodity markets, because indeed we can find those in ancient Rome, we can find those in the Soviet Union, if we try hard enough, but rather markets in the factors of production: land, labor, and capital. So if I go to ancient Rome, can I found an AI startup? No. There is no land market for me to buy land. It is distributed by the state. There might be some labor markets in skilled labor, but most people are in unfree labor conditions. Are there banks? No. If I go to the Soviet Union, can I found an AI startup? No. There are no banks. There are no labor markets. There is no land market. Well, twentieth-century US, twenty-first-century US, we have all those things. And so the creation of each of those markets is a definable historical moment where we can see them being created. Often they are created given a whole set of legal changes that make those markets possible.How things become unintelligible09:12: I think a lot of people are interested in how new things are created, but I am interested in how old things are forgotten or lost or rendered unintelligible.The accidental origins of markets05:32: What most people use their agency for is to reproduce and reinforce whatever existing structures they encounter. By definition, those structures would not continue to exist if people did otherwise. So instead, we tend to tell the stories of people who use their agency to not do that and do something weird, but that makes them definitionally atypical. Markets are a thing that only works insofar as people agentially contribute to their continual functioning without ever, you know, the intention is not, “I am going to go buy a cup of coffee to keep the coffee market going.” The intention is, “I am going to satisfy my need for a cup of coffee.” And so there is a weird unintentionality to the use of agents in economic life. And so I tried to focus a lot on accidents, unintended consequences, unforeseen mistakes, surprises, [and] collective disaster that results from individually rational behavior.Show Links:Recommended Resources:John Harold ClaphamBarry EichengreenChristina RomerBen BernankeThe Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism by Edward BaptistJames Bradford DeLongEugene GenovesePaul A.

    690. How Your Brain Makes You Sick: The Sark Side of the Placebo Effect with Helen Pilcher
    2026/10/09
    What happens when your brain predicts a symptom that doesn't belong — and your body obeys? Can a diagnosis itself make you sicker? And could the way your doctor delivers bad news change the course of your disease?Helen Pilcher is a science writer whose work has appeared in Nature, The Guardian, and the BBC. Her new book, This Book May Cause Side Effects: The Curious and Dangerous Power of the Nocebo Effect, Placebo's Evil Twin, explores how negative expectations can produce real, measurable harm in the body.Helen and Greg discuss how the nocebo effect turns clinical warnings into self-fulfilling prophecies, why modern medicine's culture of full disclosure may be doing patients more harm than good, and how social media has become a new vector for mass psychogenic illness, spreading symptoms as easily as information.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:The brain predicts symptoms01:00:29: What we realize now, is that most of our conscious experience is actually a prediction. It's a controlled hallucination, and most of the time, we get it right. But when we don't get it right, when our brains make a prediction error, that's when all sorts of things can happen. So, that's what creates the nocebo effect. The brain is predicting a symptom where the symptom doesn't belong.How much medical information is too much?24:31: One of the things that the medical profession in the West needs to think about is how much information is too much information. And the information that I choose to give, how can I give it better? So I can boost any placebo effect that might be relevant and reduce any nocebo effect that might be relevant.When illness spreads through social media43:38: We live in this interconnected world where you can go on social media, you can go on TikTok, your kids can go on TikTok. You can watch people who have illnesses of any kind, from mental health illnesses to physical illnesses. They call themselves chronic illness influencers or illfluencers is the term that I came across. People who we presume, I'm not disputing this, have very genuine health concerns and they're making content about it. And that can play a really, really important role in society because people with certain health conditions can feel quite alienated. It can be quite lonely. This can help them get information. It can help them belong. Sometimes it can put them on a path to treatment. That's the positive side. The downside is that sometimes also seeing people being ill can trigger mirror symptoms.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Clifton Meador, M.D.Primo LeviThe Farewell (2019 film)Alia Crum Keith Petrie“YouTuber Jan Zimmermann Dies ‘Unexpectedly’ from Epileptic Seizure at 27”Lucy FoulkesRené DescartesGuest Profile:Professional Website Professional Profile on LinkedInGuest Work:This Book May Cause Side Effects: The Curious and Dangerous Power of the Nocebo Effect, Placebo’s Evil TwinSmall Inventions That Made a Big DifferenceThe Time Nature Keeps: A Visual Guide to the Cycles and Time Spans of the Natural WorldLife Changing: How Humans are Altering Life on EarthBring Back the King: The New Science of De-extinctionIf you enjoyed this show, here are some other unSILOed episodes you may like:Jo MarchantEllen J.
