For decades, businesses have exhausted billions of dollars and spent countless hours developing strategies to increase employee engagement, decrease burnout, and improve productivity. And yet, most workplaces still—to put it bluntly—suck. The reason? The corporate world has always been driven primarily by results, so leaders are not hard-pressed to actually change their ways. 

 

S. Chris Edmonds and Mark S. Babbitt, co-authors of Good Comes First, join The Business Communicators for a conversation on why for today’s blended workforce and future generations, this old-school corporate approach of profit and productivity above all else is no longer acceptable. Nor should it be, especially as organizations frame their return-to-work strategies with the intention of bringing their likely-reluctant workforce back into the office.

Leadership is nothing new - in fact it is the one topic most studied and written about in business literature. But what is new today? Relationships, for one, and social connections are becoming increasingly more important. Social leaders (aka Blue Unicorns) in the workplace are having a huge impact. Leadership is about being a social giver and not a social taker, as command and control leaders have been. Mark Babbitt will be my guest on this show and will share the impact that Blue Unicorns can have and how you can help develop them. Mark was named a Top 100 Leadership Speaker by Inc. and is a frequent contributor to Harvard Business Review, the Huffington Post and a co-author of “A World Gone Social: How Companies Must Adapt to Survive.” This will prove to be an intriguing discussion with the CEO and Founder of YouTern.
