At Work with The Ready

Brave New Work 41. Ask Us Anything (AUA) No. 2: Check-Ins, Leadership Dynamics, and "Return to Office"


Listen Later

Any podcast that promotes busting bureaucracy and hobbling hierarchy is bound to stir up some questions. That's why this week we're going to let our listeners Ask Us Anything. For this episode, we took to Twitter and LinkedIn to find out what you're wondering about. And you came through big time.

In this episode of Brave New Work, Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans hear questions about check-in rounds, leadership, and the post-pandemic move back to work. If you ever feel a question percolating as you're listening, just drop us a line at [email protected] and we'll include you in a future episode.

    00:00 Intro + Check-In: If you were a beverage of any kind, what would you be?

    03:00 Question 1 - Do check in rounds always need to be fun? Should I be making them more serious?

    06:26 Question 2 - Why is the type of leader who only takes and is mostly interested in themselves typically over-represented in a company’s leadership, vs those who give and focus on collaboration?

    14:07 Question 3 - What should leaders and teams be thinking about as they transition towards “return to office” discussions?

    21:58 Wrap Up: Send us your questions!
