Making a return visit to the show this week is three-time author Dan Schawbel.
Dan last made an appearance a long, long time ago. In fact, it was Episode #010 when Read to Lead was barely two months old.
This time, Dan is here to teach us how to better create team and organizational connections in a world where technology is isolating us at home and at work.
His new book is called Back to Human: How Great Leaders Create Connection in the Age of Isolation. In fact, the book debuts today.
Dan’s book will help you discover how the next generation of leaders can create a workplace where teammates feel genuinely connected, engaged, and empowered, without relying on technology.
There is a lot of research and exclusive studies that went into the the insights you’ll find here. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy via the link above today.
