How can employees and bosses have honest conversations about what they want and need in their relationship?

Why do employees have less than 30 days to build trust in the boss-employee relationship?

My guests on this episode are with “Your Work Friends,” Francesca Ranieri, Founder & Head of Strategy, Frank & Mel Plett, Founder Cordelia Consulting.

During our conversation Mel, Francesca, and I discuss:

How their friendship grew into Your Work Friends—a consulting business and podcast.
Why your boss relationship might matter more than your marriage.
Why common myths about boss-employee relationships miss what workers and managers really want.
What the "30-day cliff" is and why it matters
How to create an HR strategy that results in changes employees can feel.
