The Hard Skills

Episode Description from the Publisher

The modern workplace got great at performance and quietly stopped meeting basic human needs at work. This is a full season on those needs, and the leadership that brings them back.Dr. Mira Brancu closes out Season 11 of The Hard Skills by walking through 13 human needs organizations have learned to ignore. Across eleven guests and two solo episodes, each need comes with a short, powerful clip and a practical way to rebuild it on your team. You will hear why self-deprecating humor makes leaders more human, why 85% of what makes a great boss has nothing to do with intelligence, and what a meaningful life actually asks of you. If you lead people, or you feel like something at work has quietly gone missing, this one is for you.Subscribe for weekly conversations on leadership, burnout, and workplace mental health.Dr. Daniel Cruz Lattimore: https://www.instagram.com/omiyoconsultingllc https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniellattimore/ Dr. Paul Damiano:www.creategoodworks.com www.linkedin.com/in/pauldamiano  Ira Chaleff:www.irachaleffauthor.com Valerie Zolezzi-Wyndham: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valeriezolezziwyndham https://promotinggoodllc.com/ Dr. Mehul Mankad: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmankad/   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/psychiatry-and-law-podcast/id1352806975 https://www.novumhealth.com/   Dra.
