How can we expect employees to feel secure in their roles if seemingly every day another major corporation announces a round of layoffs? How can we expect everyone to feel fulfilled when just a couple years ago we saw how industries, the economy and the world operated with barebones resources during a pandemic? How can we convince our people that their opinions, feedback, ideas and feelings truly matter to the mission and to the other people in their organization? What are managers and people leaders to do?

Who better to answer these tough questions than Jonathan Westover. Jon is the host of top 0.1% business leadership podcast Human Capital Innovations. He is also a department chair at Utah Valley University, an author, speaker, husband, and father of 6.

It’s a tall task for leaders of all ranks in every industry, but Jon is here to share patterns and strategies that lead to more cohesive, better performing teams in almost any scenario.
