Aligning ACTION with Organizational Values with Jennifer Thompson

The world is getting smaller as access to information gets easier and more readily available. This makes it even more important for leaders to understand what their values are and to be prepared to take a stance on it. Even more important is to have these values be reflective of humanity and hopefully in a way that leads people first. Jennifer Thompson comes on the podcast to share her tips as an executive manager and public relations professional for aligning organizational action with their values. Jennifer and Chris Lin talk about the importance of cultural competency, individualism in the workplace, and the application of humane orientation to better the employee experience.
