The ThriveLab Podcast https://thrivelabconsulting.com/podcasts/the-thrivelab-podcast/ Listen to founders, educators, and business leaders sharing how to build workplaces that thrive. It is our firm belief that the future of work is one that moves beyond the quarter-by-quarter, profit for profit-sake decision-making - and that the single biggest differentiator in being well positioned for that future is creating an environment filled with the right people, then relentlessly enabling them to do their best work. It’s inherent in our name - a state of thriving is somewhat intangible and unique to each individual… it’s the ever-fluid human element. But there is a scientific (“Lab”) way to make that thriving more likely and more possible… while balancing it with the necessity of having a business that IS healthily profitable. It's the blending of both where the art of being a good leader lies. This show is a way to develop that art together!

They cover how two people with almost nothing in common professionally ended up building a consultancy together, what the post-COVID pull back toward industrial-age thinking is actually costing organizations, and why saying "we value our people" and actually valuing your people are two very different things.

Along the way: a story about a nurse who bent the rules to meet a patient where they were, an electrician at Mayo Clinic who moved an outlet because the patient came first, and three bricklayers doing the exact same job with wildly different relationships to why it matters.

If you've ever felt like the structure around you was getting in the way of your best work, or if you lead an organization and suspect your people feel the same way, this one's for you.
