Leadership, Burnout & Building Global Teams with Ray Bogman

Great leaders don’t manage—they inspire, coach, and build trust.

In this episode, Ray Bogman (Head of Innovation at Alumio) shares his experience leading a global team of 75 people and discusses why traditional management doesn’t work in today’s diverse, remote-driven world. We dive into how empathy, psychological safety, and relationship-building are essential leadership tools that prevent burnout and create highly productive, happy teams.

Topics covered:
✅ Leading through empathy and coaching rather than traditional management.
✅ Identifying and addressing burnout before it's too late.
✅ Creating psychological safety in diverse and global teams.
✅ Effective strategies for building trust and long-lasting relationships remotely.

Whether you're currently leading a team or aspiring to, this episode provides practical guidance on how to lead with authenticity, empathy, and effectiveness. 🎧
