Return on Empathy host Rebecca Dhrimaj sits down with Maggie Brady, VP of HR and Talent at White Cap.

Maggie pulls back the curtain on leading an 11,000-associate organization through complex organizational design transformations by replacing boilerplate strategies with human-centered communication. Tune in to discover how staying grounded in childlike curiosity can help leaders see around corners, anticipate resistance, and drive exceptional business outcomes.
