Episode notes

I used to be an HR leader in manufacturing. And where that culture had what you're referring to as harmony present, it almost always showed up in those types of situations. I spent a lot of time highlighting difference because I wanted people to respect it. Even simple things like people's motivation for working in Antarctica was an issue. They've been on the station for six months and haven't even bothered to experience Antarctica. So they work there just for the money. Now that really irritated some of the others who were there for the experience like myself. But equally without the introverts, the introverts were the ones who when you were struggling, you go and have a quiet chat with them.

Whether it’s responding to emails as they come into our inbox, no matter the hour, or agreeing to meetings after our established working hours, setting boundaries at work has become increasingly challenging. Today’s technology makes it almost too easy to think we have to “always be on." Learn how to set healthy boundaries at work with insights from Rachael Robertson, a world-renowned authority on leading in extreme environments!
