The Real Cost of Disengaged Employees

In today’s episode, I sit down with Bill Reed, CEO of Herman Science and a New York Times bestselling author with a background as a U.S. Navy diver and Harvard-trained neuroscientist. We break down why trust and stress are the two most overlooked metrics driving performance, engagement, and even cybersecurity risk. Bill explains how predictive behavior analytics can help companies identify high-risk employees before costly mistakes happen, and why understanding the individual brain profiles of team members is the future of leadership. We also cover why outdated leadership models are failing, how boredom is contributing to the engagement crisis, and why truly knowing who you’re managing changes everything.
