As a researcher, author, and keynote speaker specializing in leadership and purpose, Zach Mercurio explores a question within everyday workplace interactions: Do people know that they matter? Drawing from years of research on purposeful leadership and human motivation, Zach reveals how small, interpersonal leadership behaviors—listening deeply, noticing effort, and showing genuine care—can transform performance, well-being, and trust. From the science of mattering to practical strategies leaders can apply immediately, Zach reframes leadership not as authority, but as the daily work of helping others feel significant, valued, and seen.
This episode offers powerful insight into leading with purpose, building cultures of belonging, and unlocking human potential by helping people know they truly matter.
