Leadership Biases in Returning to the Office with Dr. Gleb Tsipursky


Mistakes from some of the largest companies in the world on return to the office is costing billions of dollars.
Don’t want to make the same mistakes? Listen to this #JammingwithJason #podcast where I talk with Dr. Gleb Tsipursky about what the result of research from organizations like Harvard, SHRM, Microsoft and others is showing about the reality of bring employees back into the office.
And the numbers are shocking!! You’ll see how much more productive employees are when they work from home, how 50% of employees will look for a new job if they don’t have remote work options, and how ineffective it is to manage people in person versus remotely.
We discuss what employees really want based on the research, cognitive biases leaders continue to make when it comes to returning to the office (some of which are very discriminatory), and how a team led hybrid with some full remote options is quickly becoming the new normal, along with what you need to do to be successful and more productive.
You can get a copy of Gleb’s new book “Returning to the Office and Leading Hybrid and Remote Teams: A Manual on Benchmarking to Best Practices for Competitive Advantage” on Amazon here:

I met Marc several years ago at the Mindful Workplace Summit in northern California who not only has been studying and practicing mindfulness for decades, but he’s also been the CEO of several companies, so he knows exactly how mindfulness fits into corporate leadership.
And since command and control, dictator style leadership hurts people, organizations, and is dying… wouldn’t you rather learn how to embrace the future of leadership?

Thinking, Reflecting and Being Intentional with Mo Issa


In this #jammingwithjason #podcast I speak with my friend Mo Issa about his journey of self discovery and finding what is really important in life.
I met Mo many years ago when we were both trained to be coaches by Brian Tracy and we have continued our friendship as our paths keep crossing. Mo is one of the most authentic, reflective and wise people I know, so thought it was perfect to have him on the podcast to discuss how to become more self-aware, intentional, and learn how to slow down and relax… things most of us don’t start doing until a mid-life crisis.
And I’m guessing you don’t want to have a “crisis” in your life to before you start implementing this wisdom, right?!
And of course, like usual there are lots of quotable lines and lessons for you to develop habits that help you live your best life and get the most out of your career.
How can you reflect more and be intentional in your life?

A Facelift for Compliance with Tom Fox


In case you missed it, there has been a lot of change in how organizations are dealing with #compliance. Risk management concepts, use of data, using compliance to lead to greater business efficiency, third-party risk, just to name a few.
It’s as if compliance has gotten a face lift recently and looks a whole lot more like a risk function adding value instead of just a cost of doing business.
I’m joined by Tom Fox to discuss some of the recent changes and how he has incorporated the “nuts and bolts” needed to operationalize compliance in your organization in his updated “The Compliance Handbook, 2nd Edition” where he shares practical tips like 31 days to a more effective compliance function.
As usual, we don’t just jam about compliance and #risk, but also music and some career advice you won’t want to miss.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and ESG with Julie Thompson


With business entering the digital world, we need to start looking into alternate populations to begin hiring from. Sure there are people of different skin colors or sexes, but what about individuals with physical disabilites or people from the autistic population.
Sometimes to tackle certain situations, a different point of view can be highly beneficial.
Not only can business reach out and bring in employees from different walks of life, but companies can also look into how to treat their employees equitably. For some employees a flexible schedule would be helpful, or perhaps a cafeteria type benefits plan may work better for your employee base.
Julie Thompson joins us today on the Jamming with Jason podcast to discuss positive ways that industry can change in many ways for the better!
