Work's Not Working... Let's Fix It!

The pandemic gave many of us a time to reflect on what we wanted from life and where our values lay. So it’s perhaps no surprise organizations were suddenly faced with what became known as The Great Resignation in 2021. This was the trend in which employees voluntarily resigned from their jobs in what appeared to be a mass exodus as they rethought their work conditions, careers and long-term career goals. One of the reasons cited for the Great Resignation has been the lack of career advancement opportunities. We’re not getting enough opportunity to grow in work. But is this the fault of organisations or ourselves? Top #10 Business Thinker Whitney Johnson reveals the forces that are stopping us from growing, the six stages of growth – including Explorer and Collector - and how we can use this to chart our growth. Whitney Johnson is the CEO of Disruption Advisors, a tech-enabled talent development company. She was named a 2021 Top #10 Business Thinker by Thinkers50, and is a globally recognized thought-leader, keynote speaker, executive coach, and consultant.

Everything we are taught about leadership today is wrong, says Rama Gheerawo. Traditional models of leadership are broken and outdated. We need more creative leadership – leadership that speaks the language of business but also the language of humanity. That is more empathetic, expansive and communal rather than outdated frameworks driven by the tired rhetoric of management and business run on the whole by men.  In this episode we discuss how we can fix leadership.Rama is an international and inspirational figure within design and was named a 2018 Creative Leader by Creative Review alongside Paul Smith and Björk. Now Director of the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design, he uses design to address issues around age, ability, gender and race. He sits on a number of advisory boards and committees for awards, universities and organisations such as the UK Design Council, The International Association for Universal Design, the Design Management Institute, The Bhavan Institute for Indian Culture and the RSA Decolonising Design Initiative. Interested in insights about people leadership, HR and the future of work?

We have designed love out of the workplace, to the detriment of us and our organisations. We're not building work that helps each of us to thrive. To love our work.

Plus what are the 'seven devils' we need to watch out for? Marcus Buckingham is the author of two of the best-selling business books of all time, has two of Harvard Business Review’s most circulated, industry-changing cover articles, and is the author of nine books including Love + Work.
