How can leaders redesign work to boost both engagement and well-being?

Why is “fit for purpose” more important than “best practice” when it comes to designing work?

My guest in this episode is Rachel Cooke, Founder of Lead Above Noise & Host of the Modern Mentor podcast.

During our conversation Rachel and I discuss:

Why today’s leaders are under greater pressure than ever before, especially with expanding spans of control and higher expectations.
How leaders can increase engagement and embed wellbeing directly into how work actually happens
The importance of asking those closest to the work to redesign the work
How to create custom solutions for your team by seeking “right practices” rather than following industry “best practices.”
