    Dec 12 2025

    Disconnected managers are quietly wrecking performance, culture, and execution, and most CEOs don’t see it coming.


    In this episode, we sit down with retention and connection expert Greg Roche to unpack why manager disconnection is on the rise, how hybrid work and technology are fueling unprecedented levels of loneliness, and why authentic relationships, not perks, are the real engine of engagement.
    Greg shares simple, practical steps leaders can apply immediately to rebuild connection, reduce unnecessary escalations, and create an environment where people genuinely want to stay.

    Tune in for a conversation that will change the way you think about connection, leadership, and the future of work.
