Being Human Is Good For Business Leaders

We’re all still ‘in the thick of it’ in terms of coping through this pandemic, and today’s leaders have the job of managing their people, many of whom are dealing with some personal trauma, through a whirlwind of change and stress.

Recorded as a LIVE show on LinkedIn on February 9th, 2022, leadership experts Heather Marasse, Wendy Appel and Mary Beth Sawicki ask the question that’s top of mind for many people, “How are you doing?”

Is the pandemic changing how you lead your organization? That’s the question we asked C-Suite executives at five different companies in this mini episode of the Being Human is Good for Business podcast.

What makes a leader great? That’s what we asked leaders of four of the world’s biggest and best-known companies in this mini episode of the Being Human Is Good For Business podcast.

In this, the first ever LIVE broadcast of the Being Human Is Good For Business podcast, the team at Trilogy Effect discuss the Great Resignation of 2021. What's driving people to leave their jobs in droves? What can a leader do to stem the flow?

Mike shares some of the leadership lessons he’s learned throughout his career as a technical leader in large IT companies, especially the importance of learning to fail. He says, “We like to make new mistakes every day. We take risks and we treat failures as data. This means creating a culture that supports failure because if you make people afraid to take risks, you can't lead, you can't be the best in the industry, you can't do things that others aren't.”

People across North America are leaving their jobs in droves and this presents an enormous challenge for leaders. Executive Coaches Heather Marasse, Wendy Appel and Mary Beth Sawicki will explain what’s driving the exodus and to give you practical tips on the steps you need to take to stem the flow.

Listening is automatic for most people, and what an individual actually takes in is based on the filters they use to process and understand the world around them. The good news for leaders is that, like any skill, you can learn how to be a generous listener and you can constantly improve through practice.
