Manage episode 422792688 series 2899536
While we’re on hiatus preparing for a new season of Rethink the Way You Sell, we wanted to bring you some content from Jeff you probably haven’t heard before. Jeff produced a premium podcast called Deeper Thought from 2020-2022 and you’re about to hear one of those episodes. Enjoy!
On this thought-provoking episode of Deeper Thought, host Jeff Bajorek is joined by guest DeJuan to discuss the concept of "redemptive leadership" and how social movements are empowering employees to advocate for themselves in the workplace. They explore the parallels between people standing up for justice in society and employees feeling emboldened to speak up about their needs, especially around mental health.
DeJuan shares insightful perspectives on creating an environment where employees feel truly free to be their full selves without fear of repercussions. The conversation digs into high-profile examples like Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka prioritizing their mental wellbeing, and how their courage can ripple through organizations. Jeff and DeJuan examine the conflicts employees may feel in advocating for themselves versus prioritizing team dynamics. Overall, it's a nuanced discussion on the leader's role in normalizing open dialogue around previously taboo personal topics for the betterment of the entire workplace.
