Common Sense & Compassion in Crisis: Don't be Presidential, Just Listen

The Elephant in the Org

Welcome to another episode of 'Elephant in the Org'! Today, we dive deep into the challenging territory of having conversations about global crises within the organization. How can leaders find the balance between offering genuine support and steering clear of empty platitudes?
We argue that it's not about putting on a 'presidential' front, but also not being so cautious that your message becomes bland and meaningless. Real people are affected in various ways by world events, and we discuss practical ways to acknowledge this, offer support, and maintain a sense of community. Tune in to discover how to create a workplace environment that cares, not just 'handles' crises. 🐘🎙️
