  • Summary

  • We're members of NOBL, an organizational design collective that helps leaders align company culture to strategy. Every month, we take a break from helping real organizations change to discuss fictional leaders and organizations from movies and TV: What works? What doesn’t? And most importantly, we talk about the simple tools they (and you, our listeners) can implement to make the workplace better.

    Bringing Your Whole Self to Work in "Severance"
    Apr 30 2022
    To work at mysterious corporation Lumen, Mark Scout has undergone a “severance” procedure: when he’s at work, he only remembers what happens work, and when he’s at home, he only remembers what happens at home. But when a former coworker shows up at his home, Mark starts to questions what exactly he’s doing during his 9-5. In other words, it’s the perfect scenario to examine: - The return to the office (1:45) - What it means to bring your “whole self” to work (6:33) - Psychological safety and vulnerability in the workplace (10:06) - Opting in and out of sharing at work (13:07) - Work-life balance and burnout (15:17) - Company purpose, meaning, and impact (19:03) - Leaving a legacy at work (22:54)
