How do you break free from the false choice between focusing on profits versus people and create a work environment where both thrive together?

Transform toxic team dynamics into human-centered success on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette. Glenn Akramoff, author of "The Human Centered Team," shares how his personal experiences with workplace tragedy led him to develop a revolutionary approach that harmonizes business results with genuine human care. Listen as Dr. Joey and Glenn explore:

☀️ Why valuing people for who they are creates unprecedented loyalty
☀️ How to help team members discover their gifts, skills, and passions
☀️ The six-week trust-building process that transforms teams
☀️ Simple listening strategies that reveal what really needs to change
☀️ Why emotions belong in the work environment, not outside it

Glenn transforms organizations by proving that when you help people find their purpose at work, performance and engagement skyrocket while toxicity disappears.

🔑 Key Insight: "We're gonna value you for who you are, not what we want from you. If a person doesn't know their purpose in life, it's your responsibility as a leader to help them find it."

💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Start setting up meetings with your team members. Don't talk - just listen. Write down notes, look for themes, pick one theme, and act on it immediately.
