Over the past several months, there’s been a lot of attention paid to an organization’s workplace culture, particularly in terms of the on-going debate over the future of work.

But at a time where it feels we’re going from one crisis to another, it is important for leaders to consider what kind of workplace culture their promoting in their organization, and whether it will help their employees to adapt and thrive in spite of what crisis looms next over the horizon.

That’s why I invited Shaara Roman to join me on this episode of my “Leadership Biz Cafe” podcast to discuss her book, “The Conscious Workplace: Fortify Your Culture to Thrive in Any Crisis”.

Shaara is a seasoned executive, having held leadership roles in CGI, Fannie Mae, NRECA, and Visa, before founding her own workplace culture consulting firm, The Silverene Group. Her writings and insights on workplace culture have appeared in numerous publications, including like CEOWorld Magazine, SHRM, HR.com, HR Executive, Authority Magazine, and GovExec.

Shaara’s upbringing also gives her a unique insight into different cultural norms and how to bring people together, growing up in India, Nigeria, UK, and Greece before settling down in the US.

Some of the topics Shaara and I discuss in this episode include:

The four types of organizational culture found in today’s workplaces, and how one of the common ones is more problematic than we might realize.

The impact Millennial and Gen Z will have on leadership and the mindset change that’s going to be needed to keep organizations agile and responsive to the evolving talent landscape.

The blindspot many leaders have about how certain actions of theirs are inadvertently transforming the workplace culture, and often times, not for the better.

How a leader’s own innate sense of purpose drives an organization’s sense of community and belonging.
