About this episode
Workplace strategy is being rewritten in real time—and this conversation makes the shift unmistakable. Frank Cottle sits down with Sue Asprey Price, a workplace and real estate strategist at JLL, to unpack how organizations are moving beyond “office vs. remote” and into a more precise question: how do we design an experience that improves talent outcomes and business outcomes at the same time? From space utilization and the ROI logic leaders demand, to amenitization (including why food and proximity matter), to neurodiversity in workplace design, Sue shares what’s changing—and why it’s becoming more strategic, more data-driven, and more personalized. They also explore how AI is shifting planning from guesswork to real-time insight, helping companies justify every dollar while keeping the office relevant as a hub for connection, culture, and brand.
About this episode
Bad bosses aren’t just a workplace problem—they’re a leadership pattern that can spread, normalize, and quietly erode culture. In this episode of The Future of Work® Podcast, host Daniel Lamadrid talks with Mita Mallick, a bestselling author and seasoned marketing and HR executive, about her book The Devil Emails at Midnight: What Good Leaders Can Learn from Bad Bosses. Together, they explore why bad boss behavior happens, how marketplace pressure and personal “earthquakes” shape leadership, and why hustle culture can reward the very behaviors that burn teams out. The conversation gets practical: how to give feedback when psychological safety exists, how leaders can run a weekly self-awareness check, why gratitude builds trust and retention, and how boundaries protect top talent—especially as work evolves with AI, hybrid models, and rising uncertainty.
