Did you know that even if you’re shaping a culture based upon respect, others may misinterpret well intended encounters in the rapidly changing business environment? Finding new ways of helping others feel respected can be a game-changer. This week, we’re discussing new ways to look at perceptions of respect with returning guest, Gena Cox, PhD. She is a speaker, organizational psychologist, executive coach, author, and CEO of Feels Human, LLC. We first spoke with Gena after the publication  of  her award-winning book “Leading Inclusion: Drive Change Your Employees Can See and Feel.”

Gena Cox, Ph.D. discusses her new book that provides powerful insights for leaders to drive inclusion: “Leading Inclusion: Drive Change Your Employees Can See and Feel.” In this conversation, Gena stresses the value of human relationships, and how organizations have vast opportunities to optimize the human experiences for their employees. Gena reveals how a system that doesn’t embrace inclusion will lose employees who don’t feel included. Listen in for how curiosity can help your team feel even more connected.

Live by the platinum rule of treating others as to how others want to be treated, which is one of the problems leaders, and business owners have. They often assume that others want to be treated the same as them.

In this episode, Dr. Gena Cox shares why respect is the key to making an organization attractive to new talents. People want to be seen, heard, and valued. Respect is really the driver of employee engagement and satisfaction that is likely to cause employees in your organization to stay and to be an attractor to others who might consider the organization.

Dr. Cox discusses at what a truly competent and relevant leader does when it comes to DEI. We also talk about ways to think about driving systemic change in an organization that is sustainable and meaningful.
