Leadership, Disrupted

Leadership, Disrupted

This podcast hosted by Dan Rust explores the art and science of high-impact leadership in a disrupted world where the future – of business, of capitalism, of our society, and yes, of leadership – is changing and evolving. None of us can be certain what the future holds, but we are sure it will be fundamentally different. All of this is discussed from the perspective of real leaders in the real world who are changing the way business works. Dan is the bestselling author of “Workplace Poker: Are You Playing the Game or Just Getting Played?” published by HarperCollins.

Today's episode is focused on leading a team, a department or an entire organization AFTER a large layoff. I studied more than 8,000 employees who survived a corporate layoff and discovered that, on average, their productivity, work quality and engagement all declined significantly. Retention rates of these employees also declined sharply, so employers were losing more of those they had planned to keep.

Even the layoff of only ...

The phrase “First Wave DEI” refers the time period before May of 2022, with many decades of slow (and unsteady) progress toward greater awareness (and in some cases, appreciation) of the societal importance of diversity, equity and inclusion. Race, gender and sexuality were the primary focus of DEI initiatives during this period. In the workplace, Human Resources departments were primarily responsible for establishing and enforcing...

Once again I was NOT invited to the World Economic Forum conference in Davos, Switzerland this January.

As a leader, if you are wondering what to do about quiet quitting, I suggest you start by focusing on yourself. Because the most recent research and survey data shows that LOUD Leaders have 30-40% fewer quiet quitters. "Quiet Quitters" are disengaged employees who choose to stay in their jobs, but are doing only what is specifically required of them at work and nothing more. Many of these employees will tell you that they are "work...

Quiet quitting is just the latest popular term referencing employees who put no more effort into their jobs than absolutely necessary. The bad news is that employee engagement has been in decline for more than 20 years, and yet there is GOOD NEWS because employees have told us EXACTLY what it takes to drive their full engagement. In this episode we start with the role of leaders in boosting (or destroying) engagement, and the prima...

We are living and working in disruptive times: technology-driven upheavals, economic recession and inflation and supply chain issues, global pandemics, terrorist attacks, trade wars, culture wars.
