Welcome to the show, David.

David Blake: Thank you. I’m pleased to be here. It’s a great way to start the day. Thank you.

Dr. Barbara Hales: So, how did you get into the field that you’re in now?

David Blake: That’s a great question. I think initially. It’s just a real desire to understand how people work and function. I think it’s a fascinating field. We study a lot of different things in the world. But very seldom do we study that very thing that we spend most of our time doing working. So I’m intrigued at the behaviors people bring to work and how best to bring them. I would always say the passions and motivations of people to help organizations be more effective. So it’s really around a desire to work and help people. It’s been sort of an internal passion of mine for many years as what’s really driven my research and my teaching as well.

Dr. Barbara Hales: As the pandemic changed how we look at work, go back to the way it was before.

David Blake: Yeah, you know, people always say, you know, it’s a new normal, and it’s a new normal on many fronts, I think the pandemic if there was any good, it changed the way I think, think about work in
