In one of your guides for re-opening the workplace you write, “You have a chance to create, re-imagine, mold, and create an intentional future.” Would you talk about this? What you’re really talking about is leaders and the change practitioners who support them reshaping the culture of the organization that was. Given the level of physical and psychological disruption for employees who are returning to the workplace, how do you add on top of that re-shaping the culture in a healthful way? One of the things that you talk about in your guides is that if leaders are to be successful in re-opening, re-creating, re-shaping the workplace, they need to be trusted. What does it take foe leaders to earn that level of trust, and why is that important? In your guides you talk about re-tethering to anchors. Could you talk with us about this concept? Brad, what else is important for our listeners?
