What do Leaders Get Right and Wrong About the Workplace Experience?
The idea of work is changing. It’s really important for leaders to understand that people don’t follow you because they have to anymore. Leaders must recognize, support, and provide opportunities for the talent in their business. We all have to take responsibility for creating cultures and spaces that actually work for humans with all of their complexities, nuances, and intricacies. And in doing so, we'll make better products, better experiences, and have better work lives.
On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with guest Nancy Lyons, the CEO and co-founder of Clockwork, and an outspoken advocate for making work better, more inclusive, flexible, and adaptable. They discuss how we all have a role to play in shifting workplace culture for the better.
