With INTENT: our 5 minute deconstructions of the current trends to inspire healthy rethinking and reconstructive action.
by Chris Wickenden, Chief Creative Officer at FROM:TODAY.
In this thought-provoking podcast episode, Chris explores the critical link between engagement and productivity within organisations. With low levels of engagement costing businesses trillions globally, it's evident that traditional approaches to tackling this issue fall short. Chris emphasises the need for deeper, more empathetic conversations within leadership circles, akin to supporting a disconnected friend in need. Drawing on the wisdom of neuroscientist Antonio Damasio, Chris underscores the importance of acknowledging emotions in driving behaviour and performance. He advocates for creating safe spaces where employees feel heard, valued, and empowered to share their feelings, stressing that genuine engagement cannot occur without addressing the emotional well-being of individuals. This insightful discussion challenges leaders to prioritise authentic dialogue and emotional intelligence as indispensable tools for fostering a truly engaged workforce.
