Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Android Devices | RSS

In Our Conversation Today, We’re Exploring:

• Why building relationships is a key component of being successful in the workplace

• What workplaces can do to help foster strong relationships

• How our cultural views of communities have changed over the past several decades and how that impacts our ability to build relationships

• Are organizational leaders setting their employees up for failure when it comes to relationship building?

Al Dea is the Host of The Edge of Work podcast, a former management consultant, and currently a talent development consultant.

Al’s belief in the power of people led to the work he does today where he helps companies attract and develop talent and creates leadership programs to help those leaders rise to their potential.

In our conversation with Al, we discuss the importance of relationships at work. More specifically, we dive into how to build relationships that feel honest, true, and meaningful while avoiding some of the more icky sides of relationship building or networking.
