The role of HR Business Partner is often a tale of two experiences. On the one hand, HRBPs are some of the most empathetic and passionate people you’ll ever meet. On the other hand, they’re stuck on the hamster wheel of busywork, bouncing from crisis to crisis without the authority to prioritize their energy—and without the respect from leadership to make a real difference.

The Future of HR: Building Your Capabilities Pt. 2 - From Levels 3 to 5...And Beyond!

After decades of dealing with stagnant practices, burnout, and competing agendas, HR might be tempted to trade in the old family minivan for a flashy new race car and just put the pedal to the metal. A car’s a car…right? While we’re big proponents of “start by starting”, without the skill, confidence, and ability to take tight turns or use the paddle shifters (you’re still with us, right?), you’ll run into problems. Building fluency and comfort with the fundamentals is how your HR team can level and go full speed ahead.In this miniseries, Brave New Work’s Rodney Evans is joined by friend-of-the-pod and Ready OG Sam Spurlin to dive into how HR can become more resilient, efficient, and equitable.Today, on episode 3, Rodney and Sam are joined by Future of HR team member Meg Saxby for part one of a two-part conversation.

The Future of HR: Building Your Capabilities, Pt. 1 - Getting to Level 3

One of the toughest work tasks? Convince someone else to back your idea. And if you’re in HR, it’s exceptionally tough to get buy-in from other functions. Maybe your coworkers think they know better because you just handle “people” stuff—and how hard is that? Maybe the CFO will only open the company chest for something with ROI they can track. Or maybe the CEO is hyper-concerned with legacy or the company’s stock price and doesn’t see the value in engaging with your employee engagement survey results. If you’re wondering why so many HR change efforts fail before they even start, look no further than missing buy-in.In this miniseries, Brave New Work’s Rodney Evans is joined by friend-of-the-pod and Ready OG Sam Spurlin to dive into how HR can become more resilient, efficient, and equitable.Today, on episode 2, they discuss why it’s so difficult for HR leaders to get widespread buy-in, how to make the case for change, and how to manage complex relationships with the CEO and CFO from the jump.

The Future of HR: Convincing Your Coworkers and the C-Suite

It’s no secret things haven’t been working in HR for… a while.

They feel anything but human.Trapped between competing mandates to mitigate risk while also transforming office culture and the employee experience, it’s no wonder HR can’t steward the change it so desperately wants to. But what if there was a way out?In this new miniseries, Brave New Work’s Rodney Evans is joined by friend-of-the-pod and Ready OG Sam Spurlin to dive into how HR can actually become more resilient, efficient, and equitable.Today, on episode 1, Rodney and Sam talk about why HR’s time to shine is right now, what HR leaders around the world are telling us, and preview the goodies to come on in future episodes.

The Future of HR: Your Mission, Should You Choose To Accept It

Has it really been almost three and a half years since this wild ride of a podcast began? We’ve been experimenting as we go (remember Rodney’s NPR-host impersonations in the early shows?)—and after releasing roughly one episode a week throughout the entirety of pandemic, we figured it was finally time we learned how to take a proper break and give BNW some TLC.So, we’re going on hiatus and won’t be making new episodes for a while. But that just means it’s a great time to revisit our back catalog. All those hot topics swirling around the news right now (burnout, dysfunctional hybrid work models, toxic hiring practices, you name it) are things we’ve been all over since 2019—and you’ve been right there with us. Some of these conversations might be a few years old, but they’re just as relevant as ever.Plus, now you can check out our Youtube channel, where we’re uploading older episodes weekly. They’re complete with updated show notes, links, transcripts, and video chapters so you can jump to your favorite episode moments.Until we’re back, please stay in touch by following The Ready on Twitter or Linkedin, and by emailing us at podcast@theready.com. We can’t wait to hear what you get up to while we’re gone. Now go change something.

We’re Taking a Brave New Break [Bonus]

Sometimes, Rodney and Aaron stop by other people’s podcasts to nerd out on the hits we know and love: new ways of working, self-management, breaking down the binary between chaos and bureaucracy, the future of work—the list goes on and on. So today, we’re actually bringing one of those awesome conversations right to your ears.Aaron recently joined Morra Aarons-Mele on her show, The Anxious Achiever, for an epic chat about mental health, the workplace, and disrupting the systems that can reward and reinforce unhealthy behavior. We hope you enjoy the exchange and we’ll return with a fresh episode of Brave New Work soon.To tune in for more episodes of Morra’s show, head to her website or search "The Anxious Achiever" wherever you get your podcasts.-------This episode originally aired on October 26th, 2022 on The Anxious Achiever with Morra Aarons-Mele, presented by LinkedIn.Aaron Dignan is founder of The Ready - an organizational transformation and coaching practice. He focuses on how to prioritize adaptivity and autonomy over efficiency and control - which you can pretty quickly extrapolate into upsides for mental health of workers and leaders. He’s also the author of the book Brave New Work - and cohost of the podcast of the same name. Host Morra Aarons-Mele speaks with him about he helps organizations and individuals realize they need to change, and how he guides them through that transformation. About The Anxious Achiever:Host Morra Aarons-Mele is on a mission to reframe how we think about anxiety and mental health in the workplace. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S. We desperately need better models for leadership and a more holistic view of mental health. Our culture tells those of us who suffer from anxiety and depression that we can’t succeed, but we tell a different story — without sugarcoating the tough stuff. We feature stories from people who’ve been there and experts who can help you thrive.

Our Hosts in the Wild - The Anxious Achiever: Why Giving Up Control at Work can Improve Your Emotional Health

Brian Elliott

You didn’t think we’d do our first-ever live show and let you miss the party, did you? That’s right, we’re coming in hot with a very special episode we recorded at SXSW on March 11th in partnership with our friends at Slack.Aaron and Rodney hit the Slack Studio Live stage with Brian Elliott (co-founder of Future Forum, an SVP at Slack, and a friend-of-the-pod) to talk about the future of work and break down several myths that keep holding us back. Plus, we kept Austin weird with one our strangest check-in rounds yet!We came prepared with our hottest takes (and not just because it was nearly 90 degrees) on these pervasive workplace myths: The person who’s always busy is the person who’s most productive. Compensation is the most important thing when choosing a new role. If you aren’t at the top, there’s nothing you can do to spark change at work. There’s no place for feelings in the workplace. You can’t build culture if you’re not IRL at an office. Bonus Content Alert! You might hear this episode and wonder…was this really recorded outside in front of a live audience?! It was (BNW tips its hat to Taylor Marvin weekly with good reason) and we have the goods to back it up. Head to our YouTube channel for the unedited version that features our faces and cheering crowds for the real-deal Brave New Work live experience.Special thanks to Sparks for recording us live!Our book is available now at bravenewwork.comWe want to hear from you.

162. Live from SXSW: Busting Workplace Myths with Brian Elliott

Rebroadcast Note: We’re still sleeping off a taco- and margarita-filled weekend at SXSW, so we’re resurfacing one of our most popular episodes today. While two years have passed since we first had this conversation about hybrid work (and much has changed since then), it’s an inescapable fact that many companies are still struggling (some quite publicly) with this particular new way of working. We’re planning on revisiting this topic later in 2023, so email us with your hybrid horror stories and any questions you’d like answered! [This episode originally aired on July 12, 2021.]It’s a major question on many minds these days: When will the office reopen? Or rather: Will the office reopen? Different countries are in very different stages of heading back to physical workspaces (or not); in the United States, the prospect of on-premise work is inching closer as companies struggle to decide between three main models: fully in-office; fully remote; or…maybe some mix of both?In this episode, we unpack why floppy hybrid models are doomed to fail, different flavors of creativity (that don’t rely on glass-walled conference rooms), and what the most adaptive path forward could look like.Our book is available now at bravenewwork.comWe want to hear from you.

Brave New Work 101 [Rebroadcast]

What’s stopping us from doing the best work of our lives? It’s the way we work. Whether you’re building a startup or reinventing a global enterprise, every day is a battle between chaos and bureaucracy. But, what if there’s a third way? Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans help teams all over the world discover a more adaptive and human way of working. Now it’s your turn. Each week, they’ll bring you a counterintuitive take on a common challenge at work—and you'll hear from guests who have been there and found their way to something better. This isn’t business as usual. This is Brave New Work.

Listening to this podcast is my business therapy.   Rodney and Aaron bring a new spirit to org design that has truly reshaped the way my company works.  Cannot put into words how excited I get to listen and spread the word about these two. Must listen!

Transformational Listen

Even in these rapidly changing times, Brave New Work brings energy and thought provoking ideas to each podcast. It expands the knowledge of the book by practical (and timely) real world issues. By far the best level reset podcast out there on how to continue to bring focus and drive to work and adaptability to each new situation. Can’t recommend this podcast enough!

19. The Secrets for Better One-On-Ones with Michael Bungay Stanier

Gareth Holman

Self-awareness in the workplace is hard to come by—because our egos are so good at “protecting” us from reality. For many of us, our identity is so tied up in who we are at work that deep down we worry, “If not for my title... who am I?”In this episode, we talk about how our egos get the better of us, and why reinventing organizations often means reinventing ourselves. Later, we’re joined by psychologist Dr. Gareth Holman (Rodney’s own coach) who shares how we can bring the inside out, to become better colleagues and better people.Learn more about Dr. Holman at his website or on Linkedin.References Mentioned:  The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership by Jim Dethmer, Diana Chapman, and Kaley Warner Klemp  Principles: Your Guided Journal by Ray Dalio  The Trusted Advisor by David H.

5. Egos and Identities in the Workplace with Dr. Gareth Holman

Frederic Laloux

It's been many years since the release of Frederic Laloux's groundbreaking book Reinventing Organizations. In some ways the world is different—more ready, more radical—and in other ways, not much has changed. More adaptive and soulful ways of working are still fringe. The way forward isn't clear.In this episode, we speak with Frederic about where we stand, where we're heading, and why this moment feels like the last gasp of authoritarianism, extractive capitalism, and all the other -isms.Learn more about Frederic and Reinventing Organizations at his website and his Youtube video series.Mentioned resources:  Ken Wilber, specifically stages of development, orange and teal organizations, and Spiral Dynamics The work of Parker Palmer   Brave New Work by Aaron Dignan (if you haven't read it yet, now's your chance!) Brian Robertson's theory of "evolutionary purpose"  Ricardo Semler, CEO of Semco and author/speaker Taylorism  Douglas McGregor, management professor and author of The Human Side of Enterprise  Our book is available now at bravenewwork.comWe want to hear from you.

18. The Impact of Reinventing Organizations with Frederic Laloux

Joel Gascoigne

In a complex and dynamic world, sharing information on a "need to know" basis is misguided, because it perpetuates ignorance and bias. No one needs to know everything all the time, but we need the right (and the ability) to find what we need when we need it. And while many teams and organizations are coming around to the principle of transparency, when it comes to sharing more sensitive data—like compensation—many people freak out and start to backpedal.In this episode, we talk about why traditional organizations and teams (and even the two of us) covet and hoard information, and what it looks and feels like to let information flow. Later, we’re joined by the cofounder and CEO of Buffer, Joel Gascoigne, who shares how Buffer made "defaulting to transparency" a core value and never looked back.Learn more about Buffer and their commitment to transparency at https://buffer.com/ and https://buffer.com/about#transparencyLearn more about Joel at his website or via LinkedIn or Twitter.Resources mentioned:Dave Snowden's Principles for Managing Knowledge -----------------------------Our book is available now at bravenewwork.comWe want to hear from you.

6. Defaulting to Transparency with Joel Gascoigne

Buster Benson

A diverse team doing important work is bound to disagree. But they’re also likely to avoid talking about it—because conflict makes many of us deeply uncomfortable. But, what if we simply lack the skills to do it well? In this episode, we talk about why disagreement is so hard, what healthy disagreement looks and feels like, and why it’s so critical to success in complexity. Later, we’re joined by Buster Benson, author of Why Are We Yelling, who teaches us how to have disagreements so productive we might actually seek them out and enjoy them.Learn more about Buster on his website, on Linkedin, or on Mastadon.Learn more about Buster's book Why Are We Yelling?

7. How to Have Productive Disagreements with Buster Benson

Kim Scott

Are you open to some feedback? Gulp. That one word is enough to send most of us packing. Why? Because we've endured far too many "conversations" that were infrequent, impersonal, critical, and one-sided. But, is it possible to do feedback right? In this episode, we talk about three different waves of feedback at work, and why it's so critical to question our assumptions and reinvent this pervasive practice.

In this episode, we talk about the simple moves anyone can make to start moving toward a better way of working. Because we have a lot more authority than we think we do. And the power we don't have can be enlisted.Later, we're joined by Sarah Devereaux from Google, who shares what she's learned about sparking change after more than fourteen years inside Google.Learn more about Sarah on LinkedIn.Mentioned Resources:Episode 8 of Brave New Work feat.

29. Ready For Anything: Information

Facing a pandemic, many of the world's institutions are finally giving remote work, agility, responsiveness, and basic human decency some deep consideration. Meanwhile, it's becoming clear that organizations who have already been prioritizing adaptivity and humanity at work are surprisingly well prepared to face this challenge.In this episode, we explore what we can learn from a moment like this, and why creating a culture built on autonomy, transparency, and decentralization makes sense with or without a crisis. In this moment of disruption and anxiety, it felt good to sit down and focus on what we can do, rather than second guessing the past, or predicting the future. Stay safe out there people.Mentioned resources: "Enabling and governing constraints" from Dave Snowden's Cynefin framework  "Learn by Doing episode" - Ep. 9 with Ben Kaufman  "Tom's episode" - Ep. 16 with Thomas Thomison  Get more information about COVID-19 from the CDC and the WHO.Our book is available now at bravenewwork.comWe want to hear from you.

20. Ready For Anything: Introduction

Kate Glazebrook

The Ready has a habit of disrupting the established way of doing things, but we've never really looked at our hiring process... until now. In the last few months, we've radically overhauled the way we making hiring decisions by asking questions like, "Can we design a process that reduces bias and homogeny? Can we design a process that focuses on what we want rather than what we don't?"In this episode, we talk about the inner workings of our new system, the rationale behind it, and what early results are telling us about the work ahead to make it better. Later, we're joined by Kate Glazebrook, cofounder of Applied, who deepens our understanding of the biases and cognitive gymnastics inherent in hiring, while making us feel a little better about our struggles thus far. If you make hiring decisions, this one is a must.Learn more about Kate on LinkedIn and Twitter.Learn more about Be Applied and their approach at their website.Mentioned Resources:  Blink by Malcolm Gladwell  Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman  Iris Bohnet, author of What Works: Gender Equality by Design  Our book is available now at bravenewwork.comWe want to hear from you.
