Bringing your “whole self” to work isn’t a new concept. Its origin dates back over 30 years as a means to improve employee engagement. The hope was that workers would begin to see their place of employment as more than a job where they clock in and out without any real ties or loyalty to the organization.

What keeps you up at night or causes you to dread going in to work the next morning? For way too many of us, that answer is a toxic workplace culture or working for a destructive leader, or worse yet, both. There is now unequivocal evidence to support why so many experience the “Sunday scaries”—that yucky feeling in the pit of your stomach as the weekend is winding down, or really just any time that you think about heading into the office.

6 minute read In their book, Why change doesn’t work , Harvey Robbins and Michael Finley outline seven ‘rules’ we need to remember if we want change to be a positive thing and to succeed: People do what they perceive is in their best interest, thinking as rationally as circumstances allow them to think.

Collaboration is often lauded as the ultimate workplace virtue, so it’s crucial to ask: Are we just cooperative and sharing information, or are we rowing in the same direction and truly synchronized in planning our journey toward success? Across all sectors and levels, “working together” is deeply embedded in business culture. A revealing 2022 MIT Sloan School of Business study shows that nearly three-quarters of professionals dedicate over 40% of their work time—equi
