5 Reasons Your Job Feels Empty (And How To Fix It) - David Mead

Episode notes

Most people don't hate their job. They just feel invisible in it. In this episode, David Mead — leadership expert, co-author of Find Your Why with Simon Sinek, and author of Lead With Uncommon Sense — breaks down why so many workplaces have lost their humanity, and what leaders can do right now to get it back. David spent a decade traveling the world on Simon Sinek's team, speaking to thousands of leaders across every industry. What he found was always the same: we already know what great leadership looks like. We're just not doing it. In this conversation we cover: Why businesses are built around metrics instead of people Why leaders get promoted without being trained to lead The trust formula every leader needs to understand The difference between proximity and presence Why small, frictionless behaviors create massive culture change How to lead yourself before you lead others If you've ever felt unseen at work — or if you're a leader who wants to change that — this episode is for you.
