And each year, leaders are tasked with bringing levels up, but how? My friend Dan Pontefract, leadership strategist, culture change expert, speaker, Tragically Hip superfan (if you’re Canadian, you’ll understand this), and best-selling author of four books, joins us today to share his thoughts on how you can make Work and Life Bloom…no coincidence, that’s the title of his newest book… “Work-Life Bloom”. Dan suggests we have been getting leadership's definition wrong, largely because of three big myths: Work-life balance is a zero-sum game, the invitation for authenticity has only been lip service, and focusing on employee engagement has been a complete miss.CHAPTERS00:03:23 Book origins00:07:01 A sense of agency and autonomy00:10:45 Speaking up when necessary00:13:34 The 4 Personas00:17:48 Leaders getting involved00:26:44 Are we expecting too much of our leaders?00:31:16 What is the perception of leaders?00:36:27 Dan's overarching goalLINKSGallupBlessing/WhiteAon HewittGallup - Employee EngagementWorld Health Organization - Burn-out an "occupational phenomenon"Dr. Vivek H.
