Gladwell (EN) | RTE Unplugged #35: Staying Quicker Than Change

Listen to Unlearn - Gladwell Academy Podcast station featuring Cristiano Coelho

In this episode of RTE Unplugged, host Priya Panday is joined by Cristiano Coelho, Project Manager in Agile at ALDI DX, to explore how teams can stay quicker than change.

Cristiano explains that disruption is not necessarily chaos. It can also mean that the environment is learning faster than we are. To keep up, teams need to learn smarter, stay curious and focus on what is directly ahead, especially when the road is uncertain.

The conversation touches on rhythm, focus, feedback and fuel. Cristiano shares why teams should not confuse speed with progress, why recovery is essential for sustainable performance and why curiosity helps people avoid jumping to conclusions too quickly.

Cristiano Coelho was interviewed by Priya Panday during the RTE Summit 2025.
