In today's episode, The Positivity Pitfall: Cracking the Code of Workplace Positivity Gone Wrong, featuring Susan Bittner & Jon Rennie, we have a wonderful conversation breaking down where leadership positivity becomes toxic. Where trying to rally the troops turns into inauthentic, mumble jumble of motivational posters.
Take a listen to hear us breakdown:

  • What is Toxic Positivity? #toxicpositivity
  • What if you fall into the “positivity” trap as a leader?
  • The importance of really knowing your team
  • How to balance tough emotions, leadership challenges with focusing on the positive?
  • How to support your team in an authentic way?

Definitely a NOT MISS!!!
