Love Based Leadership With Dan Pontefract

In episode four of Five Shades of Grey — a five-part limited series within Leadership NOW — Dan Pontefract takes on the fourth shade of his sixth book, "The Future of Work Is Grey." Why ageism is the last socially acceptable bias in the modern workplace. Why seventy-eight percent of American workers between 40 and 65 have personally experienced or witnessed it. Why the EEOC's 2026 docket is full of cases nobody read about — Wendy's, Builders FirstSource, South Valley Care Center, J&M Industries. Why ageism runs in every direction — against the young, the middle, and the experienced — and why the form your inclusive colleagues commit most often is the one they cannot see. And why the silent saboteur stays silent only as long as you refuse to name it. The cost is rising. Five Shades of Grey is a five-part limited series.
