[S4E1] Forging Forward

Hosts Dr. Wendy M. Edmonds & Dr. Lonnie Morris welcome special guest J.R. McDonald to kick Season 4 off in style. New season means new energy. We're preparing to "fall forward" with intention and momentum as the seasons change. We consider two early September occasions and their meaning for the employees and the workforce: (1) National Labor Day - to recognize employee contributions to America's strength, prosperity and well-being and (2) National Boss Employee Exchange Day - for which managers and employers are encouraged to switch roles for the day to better understand each other's plight. #BossEmployeeExchangeDay. Discussion insights - why do these exist? What do we learn? Symbolism vs. reality?
