In this episode we get, as Chris says, not just a podcast but a masterclass with leadership thinker Dave Ulrich, Professor at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan and the founder of the RBL Group, and whose models and thinking on leadership and people practices are widely used in organizations across the globe. This was an incredibly rich discussion, starting from Dave’s own journey, trust and its importance to building connection, and how to build trust with employees—foundational to any chance of Reconnection. He also shares some really good examples of innovative actions taken by leaders to make the lives of their employees better and to build connection. A common thread throughout is about the deep value of connection, and we’ll be thinking about this fantastic conversation for a good while.
