Leadership at the nexus of work, care, and change

Conversations with senior leaders about what changes when care becomes part of the operating environment.

Caregiving is often treated as a personal or family issue. Increasingly, it is also a leadership, workforce, financial, and systems issue.

Leadership at the nexus of work, care, and change is an ongoing editorial series from Your Chief Care Officer exploring what leaders see when care can no longer be treated as peripheral.

Through in-depth conversations with executives, founders, researchers, operators, and other senior leaders, we explore how care is reshaping work, leadership, decision-making, and the systems people rely on.

These are not traditional executive profiles. They are conversations about care as a system—and what becomes visible when leaders examine it from where they sit.
