In episode 52, Coffey talks with Dr. Robyn Short about the impact of respecting individuals’ dignity on organizational performance.

They discuss how conflict in an organization can be fueled by the organizations’ structure; Frederick Laloux’ six organizational paradigms and their impacts on human dignity; how an organization’s respect for human dignity impacts employee engagement; whether organizations can really be run as democracies; how the workplace is one of the last places where people can build community; and the importance that leaders genuinely care about those who follow them.
