How to Lead in the New World of Work

In this episode of A Leadership Beyond, we welcome Dina Denham Smith, co-author of the book "Emotionally Charged: How to Lead in the New World of Work" (releasing February 18).

As an expert at the intersection of psychology and business, Dina shares valuable insights on leadership in today's emotionally demanding workplace.

Key highlights from our conversation include:

  • The critical importance of recovery for high performance, comparing leaders to race cars that need strategic pit stops

  • The mounting business costs and human drain on productivity as modern leaders face unprecedented emotional demands without adequate training or resources

  • The distinction between different types of empathy and the concept of "compassionate detachment"

·     Practical strategies for setting boundaries in an always-connected world

Our conversation with Dina aligns perfectly with our ongoing conversations about the human side of leadership and the evolving demands on today's leaders.

Join us as we continue to explore how to create more sustainable and effective leadership practices in the modern workplace.

At A Leadership Beyond, we're brewing the secret sauce for organizational success: combining rich conversations with experts in the trenches, viewing business challenges through a people-first lens, and aligning business goals with human needs - all backed by proven data and gold standard leadership communication practices.

Stay tuned for an insightful discussion that challenges conventional wisdom about "soft skills" and offers practical solutions for today's leadership challenges.
