Are you a popcorn fan?  You might rethink your love of it after hearing about Theran's experience. Role-modelling taking a sick day did not go as planned!  Aside from dealing with his popcorn damage, Theran Knighton-Fitt of mygrow is on a mission.  He is challenging the notion of culture as a means to an end when humans are turned into resources. Instead, Theran is redirecting the conversation to one that is more about being human in place of extracting value.  It will be no surprise then to see some of what we talk about:  CapitalismA different take on the expectation that leaders should should build culture. The power of sharing our unique stories as an alternative to psychometrics for understanding how to engage with each otherChallenging terrible excuses such as, "It's not personal, it's business."Practices, postures and principles instead of policies that often dehumaniseRethinking employee recognition This is a philosophical conversation that really gets beneath the surface of how we do things at work. I love the thought-provoking examples and metaphors that Theran uses.  Want to do the right thing for the people around you at work, for the right reasons? Are you clear about what those 'rights' are?  Hear what we discuss on this episode of the podcast and let us know how you're going about having the conversations that matter in your organisation.
