When we think about work, we often think about deadlines, deliverables, and KPIs. But what about relationships?
In this episode with workplace psychologist and author Dr. Karen Bridbord, we discuss what it really takes to build strong, healthy connections at work and why those connections matter more than we think. Drawing from her book The Relationship-Driven Leader, we explore the role emotions play in the workplace and how to communicate with care, but without crossing a line.
We also talk about managing up and down, how to “fight fair” with coworkers and why appreciation is more than a feel-good gesture, it’s a business imperative.
