Very few people know what it's like to run a $6 billion-plus consulting business, and fewer still know what it takes to be the board chair for the largest professional services firm in the world. My next guest does. She's Janet Foutty. Recently retired from her role as chairperson of Deloitte, Janet is incredibly bright, she's thoughtful and well-spoken and has important insights for creating a productive and inclusive culture in these times of workforces demanding greater voice, flexibility, autonomy, and meaningful work.

In this episode we talk about:

• How authenticity, and the needs for it, have shifted in her time at Deloitte
• The complexity of business issues we face today requires an inclusive and diverse culture and talent
• Despite having to deal with increased individual/personal needs of the workforce, leaders are required to give and receive feedback more than ever
• How leaders work to set appropriate boundaries for topics acceptable to address in the workforce and those that aren't

I know you'll enjoy this conversation.
