How can focusing on health and capabilities drive productivity?

What can Ted Lasso teach us about the Future of HR?

My guest on this episode is Jason LaRue, National Managing Partner, Talent & Culture at KPMG US.

During our conversation Jason and I discuss:

How embracing the initial learning curve—what Jason calls the "hockey stick" effect—helps leaders succeed in unfamiliar roles.
How health and capability drives productivity and how organizations can make this a competitive advantage.
How your "talent supply chain" creates organizational agility and growth opportunities.
How to position wellness initiatives as business drivers rather than "nice to haves."
Why KPMG is centering its talent strategy around skills rather than jobs to enable greater internal mobility.
