IN EPISODE 78:

If we're more reachable than ever before, why do so many people feel isolated? And is the modern workplace increasing our happiness and belonging, or making us lonelier and more disconnected? Christine Porath has a message for our moment: Work needs to be a community where individuals share concern for one another. Through uniting people and sharing information, unleashing them with autonomy, creating a respectful environment, practicing radical candor, providing a sense of meaning, and boosting personal well-being, anyone can help a community truly flourish.
