E4: Hiring, Leadership and the Truth About Disengagement

Hiring is not just about CVs. Leadership is not just about job titles. And disengagement at work does not happen by accident. In Episode 4 of With All Due Respect by Kass & Zena, we sit down with Jocelyne Elias to discuss leadership, workplace behaviour, burnout, disengagement, and the neuroscience behind how people show up at work. This episode covers: • Why employees disconnect from their work • How leadership behaviour affects performance and culture • The difference between pressure, burnout, and genuine disengagement • Why people wear masks at work instead of showing up honestly • How organisations contribute to low motivation without realising it • The role of emotional intelligence in leadership • Why authenticity matters in the workplace • What neuroscience can teach us about behaviour, trust, and decision making • The limits of AI when it comes to understanding people, character, and human behaviour Whether you are a leader, founder, HR professional, recruiter, hiring manager, or employee trying to understand what is really happening inside the workplace, this conversation will make you think differently. This is leadership truth. This is workplace reality. This is what people feel but rarely say out loud. Support the show. Saying the things people think but rarely say, at work and beyond.
