How To Build Psychological Safety When Working Remotely - with Bruce Daisley

Bruce Daisley was previously Twitter’s most senior employee outside of the United States in his role as Vice President across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Bruce’s passion for improving work led him to create the podcast Eat Sleep Work Repeat on using evidence-based approaches to make work better and he’s recently released a book of the same name.

In today’s podcast, we explore how leaders can help bring out the best in their teams as more workers suddenly find themselves working remotely.
