Key Takeaways:
  • Employee experience is often misunderstood. Leaders believe they’re offering clarity, but employees often experience confusion and frustration.
  • Feedback must balance care with candor. People need honest, actionable input—delivered with respect and intent to help them grow.
  • Brain chemistry plays a role in workplace motivation. Work should be designed to naturally trigger positive brain chemicals like dopamine and serotonin.
  • Power skills are the future. With automation handling routine tasks, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration are becoming the most valuable human skills.
