EP #11: The Trust Crisis: Leading Across Generations with Callie Stewart

The advice for keeping good employees loyal seems simple: pay them well, give them a title, and assume they will stay. Callie says that is exactly how organizations lose their best people. The real issue isn't compensation or generation gaps. It's trust.Callie, a leadership development professional, nonprofit veteran, and culture strategist, shares what actually keeps people engaged, loyal, and willing to give their best.Jamal and Callie explore why the free agency mindset in today’s workforce is really a trust problem, what leaders get wrong when trying to be human-centered, and why culture is ultimately shaped by your direct supervisor.They also unpack layoff culture, generational dynamics, and what it takes to build a workplace where people feel safe enough to stay, speak honestly, and grow.This conversation is for leaders who want to retain great people and build a culture that holds up under pressure. If you care about trust, leadership, and human-centered growth, this one will challenge the way you think.EP Guest: Callie StewartLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/calliecstewart/
