In this episode of "How Leaders Think," we discuss how the pandemic has reshaped our perceptions of work and led to the "great resignation," where individuals seek a higher quality of life and a better work-life integration. Dr. Cortez challenges the traditional notions of productivity, highlighting the need for empathy and recognizing the overwhelming burnout people have experienced.
Throughout our conversation, we touch on the generational perspective, the train wreck in the workplace, and the importance of authenticity and spiritual intelligence in driving creativity and innovation. Dr. Cortez leaves us with practical ways leaders can create a more humane workplace and how to cultivate a higher level of thinking by engaging with organizations striving for positive change.
