192. Beyond Recognition: The Power of Mattering at Work with Zach Mercurio
Manage episode 501325450 series 3450263
What if true recognition at work wasn’t about awards or bonuses, but about helping people feel they genuinely matter every single day?
In this episode, Dr. Zach Mercurio joins Teri Schmidt to reveal why small, everyday interactions, not flashy programs, are the secret sauce behind thriving, high-performing teams.
Together, they unpack the science of “mattering,” practical leadership skills you can use today, and why AI will never replace the power of human connection at work.
