What Dara Barlin Can say in an interview on
Narcissistic Leadership:

Have you ever had a boss who you suspected to have extreme narcissism, otherwise known as Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)? If so, you aren’t alone. People with NPD are drawn to positions of power, so the higher you go in the organizational leadership, the more likely you are to find them. Unfortunately, while these individuals are usually charming with powerful visions for change at first, after some time they can become paranoid that they will lose power, so they begin attacking others, manipulating facts, creating unnecessary drama, and acting out in other ways that are harmful to the team.

What Leni Rivera can say in an interview about
How to Retain Employees:

Last year, very shortly after companies began announcing their plans for their workers to return to the office, the Great Resignation began. And it’s not a coincidence. After almost two years of appreciating the benefits of working from home, especially during one of the most challenging times in our lifetime, people everywhere understood what it meant to value others and to be valued themselves. And when they realized they may have to return to face a workplace environment in which they didn’t feel valued by their companies, it impacted their decision to simply leave.

What Dara Barlin Can say in an interview on
How to Solve the Labor Shortage Problem:

Approximately 4.3 million jobs are going unfilled in the U.S. and the labor shortage is wreaking havoc on supply chains and crippling some industries. Researchers have been scratching their heads trying to come up with the root causes, yet there is one factor that has been largely ignored while being the most consistent determinant of people quitting—terrible workplace culture. Reports show 79% of employees that leave their jobs do so because they didn’t feel appreciated, while another study reveals 58% of people trust strangers more than their own boss. The factors of the pandemic have simply been exacerbating a trend already in place: people tend to leave their job when they are fed up with the level of disrespect they receive at work.
