Part Two | Hospice, Ethics & Capitalism—A Powerful Conversation with UVA Darden School of Business

Q: If a group of executives were sitting in a Darden classroom discussing this case, what's the one question you would want them to leave wrestling with?

We'd want them to consider what governance habits and processes will prevent mission drift years from now, including who in the leadership is empowered to surface uncomfortable evidence and challenge the status quo.

Part 2 | Why Generations Clash at Work—And How Great Leaders Fix It

Q: What is your practical advice for leaders trying to build a truly intergenerational workplace culture, especially in high-stress fields like health care?

Adapt, listen, understand the individuals, choose a few to invest in, and give them time; create a human-centered culture that values open communication and feedback while not forcing everyone to fit a single mold.

Why Generations Clash at Work—And How Great Leaders Fix It | Part One

Q: What are some of the most common workplace conflicts today that leaders are diagnosing as character issues when they may be generational perspective differences?
