Nelson Repenning and Don Kieffer are longtime collaborators and professors at the MIT Sloan School of Management. With nearly 30 years of combined research, leadership experience, and hands-on work inside major organizations, they specialize in fixing broken systems, developing leaders, and helping teams operate at peak performance. They are co-authors of the new book There’s Got to Be a Better Way, a practical, field-tested guide to improving how people work.
On this episode we talk about:
How Nelson and Don each earned their very first dollar
Why early childhood experiences shape lifelong money habits
Practical ways parents can teach kids about money today
The surprising paths that led both professors into higher education
How a chance meeting at Harley-Davidson sparked a 30-year collaboration
Why fixing knowledge work is harder than fixing factory work
The origin story behind their new book and why it finally came together
What teaching leaders revealed about how people actually learn
Why improving work makes companies more profitable and people happier
Top 3 Takeaways
Improving work isn’t about grinding harder — it’s about designing systems that allow people to succeed.
Kids learn more from watching how adults handle money than from any formal lesson.
Long-term collaboration thrives when partners bring different strengths but share the same mission.
Notable Quotes
“If you want better results, you don’t fix the people — you fix the work.”
