  • Empathy SHOULD Be a KPI
    Mar 21 2024

    Did you know that empathy is tied to an organization's profits? It's also not measured or managed effectively...which may be a significant contributing factor in company lay-offs.

    Empathy builds trust, trust builds high-performing teams, and high-performing teams deliver value and increase profit. Join me on this episode as I make a case for empathy to become a KPI...after all, it's been a great ROI input for thousands of years!

  • Learned Helpless and Lost Value
    Feb 9 2024

    Projects across the world, and especially in the US, are sinkholes for cost; creating unnecessary and preventable waste.  And the organizations that run them are breeding pools for team member disengagement.  But they don't have to be!

    In this episode, I combine work from Martin Seligman, Stephen Devaux, and April K. Mills in an effort to address an issue in the fight against poor project management and dismal employee effort levels.
