A Case of the Mondays
Ever wonder how to combine meaning and work? Ever feel like a rebel in your own company? Have you looked at other companies and thought 'Why can't we innovate like them?' Join your host, Chris Thierfelder and his guests from all corners of the business world to discuss these ideas and more each Monday through the summer. Spend a little extra time in the car with us, and maybe you'll learn something new, or maybe you'll just have a reason not to step in to that cubicle on time. A thoughtful business podcast for thoughtful business people.

Not Being an Asshole Isn't Enough (on Emotional Intelligence)
Today Chris opens the discussion up on Emotional Intelligence and why leaders need to develop it and keep developing it through out their careers. We get in to the first pillar of Emotional Intelligence: Self-Awareness, and talk about why knowing yourself is the first step in knowing and understanding how to lead others.
We then get in to another aspect of Emotional Intelligence: Social Awareness, and Empathy as a key element of that.
That brings us to a short chat introducing the Mondaypod Manager's Book Club Book of the Month: Severance, by Ling Ma, and how following the heroine, Candace, is a great way to discover a perspective many of us have never had.
