Gut+Science explores employee engagement insights you can act on, from CEOs you can trust. Get ready for high energy interviews led by employee engagement evangelist Nikki Lewallen—ones that’ll have you rethinking what it means to build successful people-first cultures.
Your organization may already have the answers it needs. The real challenge is making sure those answers reach the people making the decisions.
Nikki Lewallen Gregory sits down with Richard Territy, author of “The Intelligence Within” and creator of TrueCX, to explore why leaders need to look inside their organizations before searching outside for solutions. Richard shares how tapping into frontline knowledge can uncover hidden friction, strengthen alignment, accelerate decision-making, and help employees become true value creators.
They also dig into why the status quo can quietly become one of a company’s biggest risks, how AI can amplify human intelligence instead of replacing it, and the four leadership qualities Richard believes will matter most in the years ahead: curiosity, humility, critical thinking, and decisiveness.
