Organisational development (OD) specialist Wickus Guelpa discusses how to build healthy, high-trust work environments. He defines an unhealthy workplace by symptoms like poor communication, lack of clarity, and low trust, contrasting it with healthy environments where employees understand their purpose and can work in their "sweet spot." The conversation highlights the critical role of leadership in setting culture and values, the danger of employee burnout - especially among CEOs who often tie their identity to their work - and the importance of aligning personal and company values. Wickus offers hope, emphasizing a growing movement toward creating meaningful work experiences and advises leaders to seek external OD advisors and coaches to gain perspective, avoid isolation, and build thriving teams.
