E1B2 the Podcast with Anthony Vaughan

In this no-holds-barred solo rant, AJ peels back the layers of what’s really driving (or stalling) organizational transformation in 2025. This one's for the CHROs, COOs, and strategic operators who are actually in the trenches—grappling with reorgs, AI adoption, middle management drag, and sluggish decision-making structures that choke scale and stunt innovation.With 75% of orgs facing workforce shifts and 51% of HR leaders citing slow decision-making as their biggest barrier to transformation, AJ delivers a fast-paced breakdown of what must change—now. From internal talent marketplaces to AI-assisted decision tools, cross-functional pods to change ambassadors, he challenges leaders to radically reimagine autonomy, accountability, and alignment.This episode is part sermon, part strategy blueprint, part organizational therapy—and all fire. If your org is scaling, stalling, or somewhere in between, there’s a playbook hidden in this episode that you need to hear.
