At Work with The Ready

16. Ask Us Anything No. 2: You Asked, We Answered

Listen Later

It’s mailbag time! We’ve been diving into specific problem areas every episode—and turns out if you go deep, your audience will go even deeper. Listeners, the questions you send us are getting hard! The ones that feel extra complex and extra tangly? We take those to the airwaves to unravel them live and share our knowledge back with you.


On today’s episode, Rodney and Sam tackle another batch of our audience’s thorniest questions.


Questions tackled:

  • How to combat business speak in the workplace?
  • How do we use new ways of working and psych safety in an arena that relies on older practices as part of its identity?
  • What are your thoughts on how to divide up total compensation for employees? How much is salary vs health care vs perks?
  • Is there a size threshold to organizations? What do companies do that have gotten too large and it’s hurting their operations?
  • What are the trends around new ways of working, and what motivates organizations to engage with The Ready?
  • How can orgs unlock real collaboration, not just sharing information?
