Beyond Potential

Ep 75: Creating meaningful work through mattering - with guest Zach Mercurio


Listen Later

In this episode of the Beyond Potential podcast, Tom Emery and Tom Mason are joined by author, speaker, facilitator, and researcher, Zach Mercurio.

Drawing on decades of qualitative research, Zach explores why feeling seen, heard, valued and needed is at the heart of meaningful work and why no wellbeing initiative, engagement survey or leadership framework can replace the impact of everyday human interactions.

Together, they discuss:

  • why “mattering” is a missing ingredient in modern organisations
  • how leadership behaviours shape energy, motivation and wellbeing
  • the danger of transactional leadership and checklist culture
  • why leadership should be treated as an occupation, not a promotion
  • simple, practical ways leaders can help people feel they truly matter
  • A powerful conversation for leaders who want to move beyond programmes and create cultures where people and performance, genuinely thrive.
