Episode Details

In this episode of Beyond Potential, Tom Emery and Tom Mason are joined by Al and Leanne Elliott, co-founders of Oblong HQ and hosts of The Truth, Lies and Work podcast, to explore what's really driving disengagement, burnout and bad hiring decisions in today's workplace.

They discuss the change from work as a means to financial security to work as a source of meaning, and why "job hugging" doesn't necessarily mean your people are engaged. Al and Leanne share why culture fit is one of the most persistent hiring myths in business, why it predicts almost nothing about future performance.

The conversation also explores the pushback against "AI slop" to the limits of AI coaching, and how leaders can use AI to support, rather than replace, good judgement and human relationships.

A brilliant, funny and refreshingly honest conversation for any leader who wants to build a positive workplace.
