Weekly Faculty Office Hours
With Anne Morriss and Frances Frei

Each week our TLC Atlas community comes together to answer questions in a live session. The faculty responses are recorded, edited to remove references to individual and company names, and then shared in the TLC Atlas Platform. Members are never recorded in any context.

In this episode of Office Hours, Anne and Frances answer questions like:

  • How do I navigate a conversation when my leader thinks A and I think B?
  • What are leadership strategies in the context of low morale, high attrition, and significant employee burnout?
  • What do we do when the CEO is a barrier to making change?

All questions are submitted by the TLC Atlas community.
