In this episode of Activating Greatness, Alec McChesney sits down with executive coach and author Patrick Manigault to challenge how we think about engagement, leadership, and the modern workplace. Patrick explains why engagement isn’t broken—but rather our current approach is inadequate—and how organizations continue to treat symptoms instead of addressing the root cause.

If you’re a leader navigating burnout, disengagement, and evolving workforce expectations, this episode offers a powerful framework for rethinking how work actually works
