<p class="MsoNormal">In this episode, we're rethinking leadership with Nicholas Janni, author of “Leader As Healer” and teacher at IMD Business School and the University of Oxford Said Business School. Nicholas introduces the revolutionary concept of leaders as healers, advocating for a shift from the hyper-rational, imbalanced corporate norms that prioritize doing over being. He shares how integrating emotional intelligence and deep personal connections can transform leadership effectiveness.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Join us as Nicholas shares how embracing our whole selves helps businesses and the people who work in them can thrive together.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><em>If you enjoy the show, please rate it on <a href= "https://jpn01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpodcasts.apple.com%2Fjp%2Fpodcast%2Fhumans-at-work-with-michael-glazer%2Fid1560586110&data=05%7C02%7Cconaghan%40peoplefocus.co.jp%7Cfa1f17efb01f479a59cf08dc2f740658%7C52a1baceccfa4d6492e427fbf60a506d%7C0%7C0%7C638437422707849095%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=bx3mTWcW2X5j1ZtSRi1zSVslR8uySiATqHJ4L%2B3V7OQ%3D&reserved=0"> Apple</a> or <a href= "https://jpn01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fopen.spotify.com%2Fshow%2F7c5u5GXEWITQGlizNJL3LU&data=05%7C02%7Cconaghan%40peoplefocus.co.jp%7Cfa1f17efb01f479a59cf08dc2f740658%7C52a1baceccfa4d6492e427fbf60a506d%7C0%7C0%7C638437422707859390%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=2MYp47D9WIpLaAvCTxQcDNWT0Dp%2Fml0d6kubGpViVNs%3D&reserved=0"> Spotify</a>.

The Art of Spontaneous Communication (Rebroadcast)
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">We've all been there: put on the spot during a meeting and found ourselves tongue-tied. In this episode, we tackle the challenge of spontaneous communication head-on. I'm joined by Matt Abrahams, who is a Lecturer at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business and the host of the “Think Fast, Talk Smart,” which draws in millions of listeners per episode. His TEDx Talk has captivated a global audience, and his latest book is titled, “Think Faster, Talk Smarter: How to Speak Successfully When You're Put on the Spot.”</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Today, Matt shares his insights into preparing for those unscripted moments, managing speaking anxiety, and mastering the mindset shifts critical for effective communication.

People are not communicating very well. They're just sending WhatsApp or Slack messages and emails. They don't meet physically. I think isolation then tends to make people feel that it's just about the task, and work becomes a tool because fun at work often comes from having solved a problem or overcome a challenge with someone else. And so, if we start to lose those, then I think it's really sad.”</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><em>Jenni</em></p> <p class="MsoNormal">“I was going to fully agree with what Alison said. I think it is the number one challenge that organizations are wrestling with at the moment in the debate about whether hybrids work or whether it's back to the office. I don't think it's actually a location issue. I think it's an isolation issue. So what people are picking up on is that people aren't as motivated or as productive as they could be if they're just working from home. That, the working from home bit, is not the issue. It's the fact that managers and teams aren't putting in mechanisms to make people feel still connected to the organization. You address that, and I imagine it's going to open up something really powerful and positive.”</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="rhi1u"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span class="rhi1u">What "working with humans" means to Alison and Jenni</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="rhi1u"><em>Alison</em></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="rhi1u">“There is a warmth and creativity that is so empowering [to that phrase], and inspiring and energizing.
