As humans, we often shy away from scenarios that make us uncomfortable or nervous. Don't worry, it’s our brains trying to protect us. The thing is, great people first leaders don’t shy away from loss or conflict, they embrace it. Sven Lauch, Tedx speaker and founder of Eyes Up Training came on the Leading People First podcast to share how we need to raise emotionally intelligent leaders to be able to handle and lead through loss and conflict. In this episode, Sven and Chris Lin also discuss Sven's upbringing in communist Germany, his experience in the army, the importance of emotional logic, and embracing conflict.

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.
