It's no fiction. Work is broken. We knew this before Covid, especially with low employee engagement. Coming out of Covid, workers told us even more strongly as they left their workplaces in unprecedented numbers. "Fixing Work" by David Henkin and Thomas Bertels is a recently published fictional account of very real problems that permeate today's workplace. David and Thomas join host Brian Gorman to explore how and why work is broken and what can be done to fix it. 

Helping women grow their leadership presence is the mission of Sue Reynolds, owner of Carmine Media. Even today, both women and men are receiving messaging about “women’s place in the world.” Sue and host Brian Gorman reflect on the history of this messaging over the last four decades, how pervasive it continues to be, and how great an impact it has. The conversation also addresses ways in which supervisors can give voice not only to women but to any who are seen as “other” in the organization. 

According to Alicia Howard, Founder of The People Scale, “Culture is like Jenga.” As leaders, every single move we make regarding our people is important. In this episode, Alicia and host Brian Gorman explore the important role of leaders in everything from hiring for the culture you are seeking to build or sustain to scaling your people, growing them, creating better leaders to scale profitability and to scale the business. Culture is creating the environment for people to do their best work. Leaders at every level of the organization are culture shapers and culture keepers. They either build the Jenga culture or topple it.
