Summary

Some level of skepticism is healthy, but unchecked cynicism can be detrimental to our health and relationships. Dr. Jamil Zaki joins On Leadership to dive deeper into how leaders can keep a natural amount of cynicism in check, suggesting that if we could see each other more clearly, we would realize we have more common ground than we think. 6 Shifts to Develop a Leader's Mindset: Organizations have felt the effects of rapid changes like structure, schedules, and the broad adoption of remote or hybrid environments. This disruption has pushed organizations to adopt new mindsets and policies to set their people up for success. Leaders are no exception when it comes to these changes. To be successful today, leaders need to shift their mindsets and innovate their styles of leadership.
