Burnout, disengagement, leadership fatigue — we’ve been trying to solve these problems by fixing individuals. But what if the real issue is how work is designed?

In the first episode of the newly rebranded Wired to Work, workplace strategist Jess Chapman speaks with systems designer and founder of All In Agency Jules Maitland, PhD about why traditional workplace models no longer fit the world we live in.

They explore:

• Why resilience training doesn’t fix burnout

• Why employee engagement often fails

• Why leaders struggle to admit they don’t have all the answers

• What systems thinking means in practical terms

• How to redesign work without a “big bang” transformation

• The rise of adaptive, self-managing (“teal”) organizations

If you’re a leader, founder, or manager wondering how to improve culture, reduce burnout, or lead change that actually sticks — this episode is for you.
