S11E18 - HBR Minute - What Does “Just Be Yourself” Really Look Like at Work, with Christine Liu

In this HCI "HBR Minute" Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover explores the recent HBR video, "What Does 'Just Be Yourself' Really Look Like at Work?." Check out the video and details here: https://youtu.be/rrW0VfpZYkg.   Video overview: "Everyone says to “be authentic” or “just be yourself” at work. But what does that really mean, and why does it matter?  Innovation Editor Christine Liu explores this often blurry concept of being yourself while also “being professional.” How do those two things intersect? Are there new rules to learn? Have workplace expectations changed over time? And from the employer’s point of view, what’s to be gained from building a culture where employees can be authentic?  We spoke to Madison Butler, a human resources and recruitment practitioner, about the challenges and benefits of bringing your most authentic self to the workplace."   Christine Liu (https://www.linkedin.com/in/liuliuliu/) works best in deep-thinking, fast-moving, mission-driven teams. For example, in the Harvard Business Publishing Incubator and Content Lab, she helps build strong cross-functional project squads and learns quickly by creating purpose-driven prototypes in order to support their vision of lifelong learning and career development. Personal highlights include building a scalable way to produce case-study videos featuring Harvard Business School professors, prototyping an Alexa skill designed to help users practice the art of negotiation, and running a group-dynamics experiment within Overwatch. She firmly believes in the transformative power of management and mentoring.
