Several new Podcasts and Videocasts online

Over the months, I´ve given several interviews in English. All of those are available for free online. Here´s the list, feel free to listen and share:

  • With Shelley and Chad Prevost, I talked about the many upsides of gratitude for their Big Self Podcast.
  • With Alex Bratty, I talked about Psychological Safety for her podcast The Positive Leadership Movement.
  • And very recently, I´ve had a conversation with my fellow Penn MAPP alumna Senia Maymin on creating positive micro-moments in times of the corona pandemic. A synopsis of this conversation is available via Senia´s LinkedIn profile.

Meaninglessness at Work: The 7 Deadly Sins [Infographic]

Yesterday, I shared some insights from a fantastic article on the antecedents of meaning in work that has recently been published in the MIT Sloan Management Review. 

One of the central insights of that piece is the notion that managers can only “prepare the soil” , but they cannot create or grow meaning at work for their employees.

Yet, researchers Catherine Bailey and Adrian Madden found that bosses do play a big part in destroying the experience of meaningfulness at work. 

They interviewed 135 people from very different walks of life. From that material they distilled “seven deadly sins” that bosses frequently commit – and thereby diminish or outright devastate their peoples’ sense of meaning at work.

Here are the key takeaways by way of an infographic. Share and enjoy!
