SPOS #869 – Morag Barrett On Why We All Need A Friend At Work

Welcome to episode #869 of Six Pixels of Separation – The ThinkersOne Podcast.

Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation – The ThinkersOne Podcast – Episode #869. Meet Morag Barrett, the magical unicorn who helps leaders achieve amazing results by tapping into the power of their professional relationships. With her pragmatic approach, she excels at identifying the gaps in an organization’s development and helping them move forward by finding unique solutions to problems. Her three books, including Cultivate: The Power of Winning Relationships, The Future-Proof Workplace, and here latest, You, Me, We: Why we all need a friend at work (and how to show up as one!), offer valuable insights into how leaders can become their best authentic selves by building true and valuable networks. The book You, Me, We speaks to me. It offers valuable insights into building deep, meaningful relationships at work that lead to success for everyone involved. According to Morag, having an “Ally Mindset” is a critical factor in achieving individual, team, and organizational success. Best friends at work, who support and help us through good and bad times, are a vital component of an Ally Mindset. On the other hand, lacking such relationships can lead to failure and disappointment. You, Me, We delves into the five essential aspects of an Ally Mindset, providing us all with practical lessons on how to become a better friend at work and enjoy greater happiness, collaboration, and business outcomes. And, if you’re wondering about her love for unicorns, let’s just say she has more than 100 unicorn-themed items at home (none of which she bought for herself!). Enjoy the conversation…
