This episode of Enterprise Radio is on association with the Author Channels. Listen to host Eric Dye & guest David G. Henkin and Thomas Bertels discuss the following: The overall theme of your book, Fixing Work, is that work is broken. How so and what do you see as some of the biggest issues? You’ve written the book as an allegorical tale – can you tell us a bit why you took that approach? You write that managers and leaders are treating their people like automatons and discouraging creativity. What are some initial steps to making work more motivating? What are some of the advantages to the whole organization (beyond just the people) when we make work more “human-centric”? What trends do you see coming in future? Given all the upheaval in the workplace are you optimistic that leaders and their teams can be productive, efficient, and motivated? DAVID G.
