What's Your Superpower, And How Do We Unlock It? | With BJ Talley
There are very few workplace problems that bettercommunication can't improve, at least according to today's guest.
In this episode of Work Is Third, I sit down with BJ Talley, Founder and President of the strategic communications firm Gladius, to talk about what actually builds trust on a team. BJ shares how his fully remote company opens its books to every employee, why he believes leaders should help people find work elsewhere if it's a better fit for their strengths, and how redefining balance around equal investment changed the way he leads.
We also get into his concept of unlocking someone's superpower, and why the two-thirds of life outside work matters just as much to how someone shows up inside it.
