Overview

Leaders have all heard the new (or not so new) "war on talent" buzzwords: The Great Resignation, Quiet Quitting, She-cession, etc. But what these shiny phrases are really bringing to light is simply this: A deep discontent with how we lead and live in our workplaces. Creativity, engagement, joy and psychological safety are suffering along with the desired business outcomes. We long for a culture of belonging — one in which we can fully embrace our shared humanity toward a compelling, common purpose. What if it could be dramatically different? What if there is an unseen order that we have yet to imagine? It is possible. This new order will be rooted in all our ability to step into the audacity of courage.
