HR Works Video Podcast: What is the Price of "Nice"? Pt. 1

As HR professionals, and really as people, we opt to be nice and polite when dealing with anything in the workplace. But what happens when that blanket "agreeable"-ness produces a stagnant and stale environment instead of something productive? When the status quo becomes more harm than good, how can you break the mold? On today's episode of HR Works, here to help us answer these questions is Amira Barger, Professor, Global Comms Executive, and Author of the upcoming book "The Price of Nice." Listen in to part one of our conversation that breaks down what it means to be "nice" in the workplace, and what it means to be genuine, and effective.
