INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
What if the most powerful thing a leader can do is simply make people feel safe?
This week on Exchanges, I sit down with Graeme Cowan co-founder of R U OK Day for a conversation about what the future of work looks like. Graham shares his own journey through mental health challenges, what it taught him about leadership, and why psychological safety isn't just a buzzword it's the foundation of every high-performing team.
We explore what genuine care looks like inside organisations, how to build teams that are truly resilient, and the growing role AI is playing in reshaping leadership as we know it.
