Zoë Routh Leadership Podcast

We dive into the evolving landscape of workplace expectations, legal challenges, and leadership dynamics with HR legal specialist David Dilger.  We explore the rise of corporate paternalism, the increasing recognition of psychosocial hazards, and the importance of transparency in decision-making. The conversation covers the changing nature of workplace disputes, the growing demand for psychological safety, and the role of leaders in balancing empathy and directness. We also examine the future of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives, the push for workplace flexibility post-COVID, and the impact of AI on leadership and communication.   SHOWNOTES are here: http://www.zoerouth.com/podcast/navigating-workplace-dynamics-legal-challenges   Planet Human: ​Avride's autonomous robots now deliver Uber Eats orders. https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/13/avride-launches-sidewalk-delivery-bots-on-uber-eats-in-jersey-city/   Key Quotes: "When decision-making is transparent, assumptions die in a dirty ditch." – Zo
