Workplace exclusion may look small — a missed meeting invite, a skipped email, or decisions made in side conversations — but these “micro-exclusions” quietly dismantle team building long before leaders notice the damage.

In today’s episode of The Power of Peacefulness Podcast, we break down the science behind why exclusion hurts, how it erodes trust, and what research from Harvard Business Review, MIT Sloan, Gallup, and organizational psychology reveals about team performance.

You’ll learn:

✨ Why exclusion activates the same neural pathways as physical pain
✨ How small acts of exclusion break communication, collaboration, and cohesion
✨ Why psychological safety collapses when even one person feels left out
✨ The hidden impact on innovation, problem-solving, and engagement
✨ What strong leaders do to create inclusive, high-performing teams
✨ Practical steps you can take to repair trust and rebuild team culture

If you’re a leader—or aspiring to lead—this episode gives you the evidence, tools, and language to build healthier, more connected teams from the inside out.

Tune in, share with your team, and let’s build workplaces where everyone belongs.
