How to be a Chief People Officer (w/ Jennifer Geary, author)

In 2012, Google set out to figure out why some of its teams succeeded and others stumbled. The company launched Project Aristotle. The team assigned to the project studied every aspect of employee performance. 180 teams throughout the company were examined in great detail. What they couldn’t find was a pattern to success.

12 years later, “the dynamics of enabling people in an evolving workplace have changed significantly,” says Jennifer Geary the co-author of “How to be a Chief People Officer.” Geary says that central to this new dynamic is the workplace. “When a company’s mission, vision, purpose, values and goals are mirrored in how people actually think, act and operate, the company has a strong culture.”

Key to developing this alignment is a C-Suite to bring humanity back to the workplace. Geary says, “Managers are drowning under the weight of people-related tasks, while employees demand ever more from their workplace.”

We invited Jennifer Geary, the co-author of “How to Be a Chief People Officer,” to join us for a Conversation That Matters about strategically enabling sustainable organizations.
