The State of Work Today · 2025-07-09 · 57 min
What if everything we’ve been taught about leadership is wrong? In this episode of The State of Work Today, I’m joined by Mark C. Crowley - leadership visionary, bestselling author of Lead from the Heart, and host of one of the world’s top-ranked podcasts. Mark’s journey from a painful childhood to a career of award-winning leadership is more than inspiring - it’s a wake-up call. We explore why fear-based management is failing us, how genuine care drives exceptional performance, and why “employee engagement” needs to be replaced with something far deeper: well-being. Mark shares the science, the story, and the stakes - and what every manager needs to hear now. This conversation doesn’t just challenge the status quo. It shows you how to lead in a way that people won’t forget. Listen now to rethink what leadership can and should be. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
