Each episode of the Leading In Clarity podcast, I get to visit with some of the most inspiring minds and thoughtful leaders anywhere as we explore clarity as the antidote to the chaos in the modern workplace. We delve into the importance of humanizing connections inside and outside our companies, and our thoughts on positivity.
On this episode, I was delighted to have Senior Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, Annie Mckee. Annie and I discuss the importance of happiness at work and the role of leadership in the workplace.
