Everything seems to be “political” these days. Even “success” can be criticized as “unfair.” Every conversation seems to have an underlying sense of “avoidance” of anything personally important, out of fear that your opinion could “trigger” a teammate. How can you possibly build a high-performing team culture when team members bring diametrically opposed political perspectives into the workplace? When the media’s and the two parties’ “psyops” are telling us we have to be angry all the time and hate anyone who disagrees with us? And if someone’s political views negatively affect their professional relationships to the point where they should be terminated, how would that happen? Join Warren Quinn, founder of HUMANS AT WORK, to question some outdated but still widely accepted business management “myths” and explore an operational system that: •Is built on a shared purpose, “The Universal Why” •Creates and supports a culture where everyone knows “how to behave” in the workplace •Guides the hiring process •Powers evaluations •Supports mentoring & training •Separates “personal” and “professional” issues •Retains the best people •Terminates those who can’t or won’t fit the culture •Identifies and builds leaders •Sustains optimal profitability

Warren Quinn believes that every organization should operate from a core “Universal Why,” which is the personal and professional growth of everyone affiliated with the organization.  He works with owners and executives to help them become the best human beings they can be and then cascade a fulfillment culture throughout the organization, resulting in higher productivity, loyalty, and profitability.  As the CEO of HUMANS AT WORK, Warren provides private executive advisory, leadership and culture training, and organization development consulting.  He is the Executive Director of the American Subcontractors Association (ASA) of Baltimore, a CultureWise™ Licensed Consultant, and a Certified Practitioner for The Leadership Circle 360 Profile™. In the exit planning space, Warren focuses on the business owner’s need to develop a new skillset to transition to their next phase of life.  As a speaker, his mission is to help others understand how positive, loving, professional relationships in the work environment contribute to business success and personal growth.

After starting his career in the landscape construction trade following his undergraduate work in Political Science at Hampden-Sydney College, Warren received his Doctor of Law (JD) degree from Emory University and practiced general corporate law for several years. He then spent 18 years at the American Nursery & Landscape Association learning non-profit best practices from his mentors and peers in the association executive profession. While with ANLA, he led the development and delivery of elite education and business services to over 1,700 closely-held companies and mentored the leadership development of the CEOs, presidents, and owners of those firms. Starting in 2013, when ANLA merged with another organization and moved its headquarters to Ohio, Mr. Quinn began his executive leadership practice.

His unique journey, combining executive and hands-on operational experience in both the non-profit and for-profit sectors, in addition to his legal and finance background, informs a powerful approach to leadership and organization development.
