Ep. 339: “How Do We Turn It Around?” – Workplace Resilience, Creativity and Culture with Author Rex Miller

Rex Miller is a renowned expert in optimizing human and team performance, strategic foresight, and organizational transformation with a long history of serving the facility management and corporate real estate communities. Mike Petrusky asks Rex about their recent time together in Dallas at the IFMA / CoreNet North Texas Tech Symposium where they shared some of the challenges facing workplace leaders in 2025 and explored how the industry needs to shift its focus from technical skills to human and leadership skills. There's a lack of emphasis on curiosity, experimentation, and building stakeholder coalitions, so Rex shares his insights about workplace culture and how companies can understand the new attitudes, habits, values, and behaviors of their employees. Leadership is about influence, not positional power, so facility managers and corporate real estate professionals can lead by using their influence. Mike and Rex agree that we have a great opportunity to lead the future of work and the workplace and they offer practical advice to help you be a Workplace Innovator in your organization!
