    Oh my word, try as I may, I could not plod through Edith Zimmerman saying, like”, for the nth time…the interviewer threw in his share, too. Hopefully that habit is fixable. Excruciating.

  • This episode made no sense

    The episode was positioned as how to not let work dominate your life and it was never that. It instructed people on how to form a union, became chaotic around climate change and then started talking about grief. It made zero sense

How to make work feel better with Ryan Buell
Q: What's one thing our listeners can do tomorrow to improve their own team's culture regardless of where they sit in the hierarchy?

How to make work feel better with Ryan Buell
Q: What are the beliefs that are getting in the way of people loving going to work right now?
Buell says there is no single answer, but workplace culture becomes damaging when employees' beliefs about the organization's purpose conflict with what leaders or external forces ask them to do. Leaders need to reconcile those conflicts so people can move forward productively.
Unlocking Your Power at Work: How to empower others with Hubert Joly
Q: What can managers do to help their teams take smart risks in a culture that punishes mistakes?
Model psychological safety, admit your own failures, and change rules at the team level to encourage experimentation and learning.
Unlocking Your Power at Work: How to empower others with Hubert Joly
Q: How do you get experienced teams to take more ownership without feeling left behind?

Q: What should I be thinking about in a salary negotiation or a job offer?
