Cy Wakeman: Don’t Bring Your Whole Self to Work (Ep. 7) More Human
-
- Business
Listen to this episode if:
You are exhausted at trying to implement “best practices” for making your business more human, and you want to get rid of the drama.
If you are someone who has had a leadership role, you may have become frustrated with top-down approaches to making change happen in your organization. There are a lot of measures we take from a human resources perspective to get buy-in, to make concessions and to make systems optimized for human beings.
And it is in that context that Cy Wakeman’s point of view becomes compelling: What if instead of working to orchestrate the perfect circumstances for everyone, we challenge one another to show up as our higher selves? What if, the next time you faced a challenge, you would not shake your fist toward the sky at the fates? What if, instead, you entreated your team to ask: What would great look like?
This episode outlines the basis of Cy’s ideas. You can prepare to be challenged and have many of your preconceived notions on creating a human-centered workspace called into question.
