Listen to host Eric Dye & guest David G. Henkin and Thomas Bertels discuss the following:
- The overall theme of your book, Fixing Work, is that work is broken. How so and what do you see as some of the biggest issues?
- You’ve written the book as an allegorical tale – can you tell us a bit why you took that approach?
- You write that managers and leaders are treating their people like automatons and discouraging creativity. What are some initial steps to making work more motivating?
- What are some of the advantages to the whole organization (beyond just the people) when we make work more “human-centric”?
- What trends do you see coming in future? Given all the upheaval in the workplace are you optimistic that leaders and their teams can be productive, efficient, and motivated?
