122. Doomscrolling, Wisdom Work, and What CEOs Eat: This Week in Work, 20th August 2024
Welcome to another episode of the Truth, Lies & Work podcast, the award-winning psychology podcast brought to you by the HubSpot Podcast Network.
Join your hosts, chartered psychologist Leanne Elliott and business owner Al Elliott, as they explore the latest workplace trends, insights, and practical advice to help you create a thriving work environment.
This week’s news roundup covers several thought-provoking (and silly!) topics:
Doomscrolling and Its Impact on Mental Health: A study by Reza Shabahang and colleagues reveals how compulsive doomscrolling can increase existential anxiety, pessimism, and distrust in others. Read the study.
Wisdom Work in a Multigenerational Workforce: Chip Conley’s article in Harvard Business Review introduces the concept of "Wisdom Work," emphasizing the importance of experience and foresight in a workplace that will soon include five generations. Read the article.
The Breakfast Habits of Successful Executives: From turkey bacon wraps to green juices, the breakfast choices of top executives are as diverse as their leadership styles, as highlighted by Bloomberg Businessweek. Read the article.
In our brand new summer segment, we travel back to the 1960s in Edinburgh, where Tarry's Chip Shop on Manse Road became a pioneer by offering the first-ever fish and chip delivery service. Originally broadcast on January 31, 1963, this segment showcases the early innovations in customer service that have shaped modern business practices. Watch the original broadcast.
In this week’s Workplace Surgery, Al and Leanne tackle some challenging listener questions:
Blindsided by a Resignation: A listener shares their shock at losing a key team member despite offering competitive pay and a flexible work environment. Al and Leanne discuss strategies for understanding the deeper reasons behind resignations and how to retain top talent.
Championing Unwanted Change: Another listener is tasked with managing the transition to new software they don’t believe in. Al and Leanne provide advice on how to effectively lead change management, even when personal beliefs differ from organizational decisions.
Can People Really Change?: A listener grapples with whether to promote a manager who previously committed fraud but has since shown exemplary performance. The hosts discuss the complexities of trust, redemption, and the risks of second chances in the workplace.
