Drawing on real-world experience, he explains how organisations can intentionally design culture across flexible and remote workplaces, especially in a post-COVID environment.Together, John and Esayas explore how leaders can become active architects of culture by creating shared experiences, investing in relationships, and leading with accountability rooted in trust rather than shame. They discuss psychological safety, navigating conflict constructively, embracing vulnerability in leadership, and why curiosity, cultural humility, and giving expected grace are critical skills for emerging and experienced leaders alike.This episode also dives into onboarding as a cultural touchpoint, supporting middle managers, fostering community impact through volunteerism, and aligning internal culture with external responsibility. If you are a leader looking to build stronger teams, create inclusive workplaces, and lead with both heart and impact, this conversation offers practical insights and real-world examples you can apply immediately.Guest: Esayas WuretaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/esayas-wureta/Visit the John Kandray Consulting website here: https://johnkandrayconsulting.com/Listen to Interaction on these podcast platforms: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1CRyAOtxD4kcILBLR90GJsApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/interaction/id1815701458Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/021f1171-6809-44fa-8ac4-17ca01eff6cf/interaction#InteractionPodcast #InclusiveLeadership...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/BAw7--H7MbMVxD4fyW_bGakQKl-crxBAyPknSQU49tQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84NzBm/NzlmZTJjODlmMGE3/YjdhMzZiN2E1ZDJl/Y2Y1NC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
