As the end of this year draws to a close, we are taking time to review our most listened to episodes of 2020.  The only thing certain right now is change. The way we work, the way we live are going to continue to change and adapt.

On this bite-size, we’re joined by Emplify CEO and CoFounder Santiago Jaramillo to discuss the new way of thinking about talent development. Employees don’t leave companies, they leave managers. Yet, managers tend to be one of the most under-resourced and under-supported roles in the company. Santi is here to help us understand how companies can develop truly excellent managers.

On this special Bite-Size, we aren’t exactly answering a question. Rather we are thinking about what it means to practice gratitude.

He joins to discuss the impact gratitude has on his life and share a few tactical insights to help you add it into your routine.

On previous episodes of Insights, we’ve spent a lot of time talking about burnout; what causes it, how to recognize it, and why it’s been more prevalent in recent months.

Joining us to offer some actionable steps leaders can take is Emplify’s Co-founder and Chief People Officer, Adam Weber.

As leaders, we expect a lot of ourselves. As humans, we’re going to make mistakes. Sometimes those mistakes hurt the team.

To help us better understand these nuances, we’re joined by Sarah Nodarse of The Zone, a global culture consultancy on a mission to make organizations more human.

We’ve reached the end of our step-by-step breakdown of becoming a more human leader. Step six is about using data to understand the state of your workforce.
