In this episode of The Path Uncut, Greg Ng sits down with Bob Batchelor, a cultural historian, biographer, and VP of Global Marketing and Communications at Workplace Options. They dive into the critical role of psychological safety in the workplace—what it truly means, why it’s so hard to achieve, and how leaders can foster environments where employees feel empowered to speak up without fear of retribution. Bob shares insights from his experience in corporate culture, employee engagement, and his latest research on psychological safety across the globe.

They also explore the evolution of leadership, the generational shifts in workplace expectations, and the importance of continuous learning and self-awareness. Plus, a little rock history debate—do The Doors take the crown as the greatest American rock band?
