Today I talked to Kim Scott about her new book\xa0Just Work: Get Sh*t Done, Fast & Fair\xa0(St. Martin's Press, 2021).\xa0\nKim Scott and her fellow guest on this episode, Trier Bryant, co-founded the company Just Work to help organizations and individuals create more equitable workplaces. Scott was a CEO coach at Dropbox, Qualtrics, Twitter, and other tech companies. She was a member of the faculty at Apple University and before that led various teams at Google. Bryant has been a leader at Goldman Sachs, Twitter, Astra, and proudly served in the United States Air Force as a Captain, leading engineering teams.\nEvery situation where somebody gets harmed at work\u2014socially, emotionally, physically\u2014involves the person harmed, an upstander (observer), the bully, and ultimately the leader who should be nurturing a better workplace where justice presides. How to handle those situations, and the difference between bias vs. prejudice is central to this episode. Along the way, the discussion touches on having a Code of Conduct at work; whether and how HR can be helpful; and a clear gender split given the reality that 70% of office bullies are men, whereas 60% of those bullied are women.\nDan Hill, PhD, is the author of eight books and leads Sensory Logic, Inc.
