What Is a Human Intelligent Workplace?
A Human Intelligent (HI) Workplace is defined as one where leaders model effective leadership behaviors by creating an organizational culture where the workers’ experience is one of being engaged while collaborating with their diverse team members.
It is a workplace where the workforce feels psychologically safe when raising different perspectives, taking risks, being innovative, and/or being creative. It is a workplace where the workforce feels listened to and understood by their leaders. It is a workplace where the workforce finds fulfillment in the work they do and in the organization they work in.
Human Intelligent Leadership
Leadership Defined
The capacity of an individual in a managerial position to positively influence, engage, and motivate their workforce.
One where they demonstrate empathy, compassion, listen to understand rather than respond, is trustworthy, authentic, and creates a psychologically safe environment.
One where they create clarity and minimize uncertainty as much as possible during organizational change.
In summary, a leader is one who creates an environment where the workforce feels engaged.

As a colleague, I have had the distinct privilege of working directly with Dr. Edwin Mourino-Ruiz in his capacity as a Senior Fellow at The Conference Board. His ability to deliver impactful and insightful keynotes to global audiences is impressive! He translates complex concepts into actionable business decisions, showcasing the direct implications on human resource strategies, execution plans, best practices, and organizational design on critical business decisions. With over 30 years as an author, lecturer, and leadership development coach, he consistently delivers with clarity and passion; and his fluency in both English and Spanish just further amplifies his reach and effectiveness with audiences worldwide. Inspiring and one of the best in the field!
We had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Edwin Mouriño to speak to our group about "The Perfect Human Capital Storm." His presentation was firmly rooted in factual information and captivated the audience with his outstanding presentation skills. He began by addressing the dynamic changes in the workforce landscape, underscoring the swift technological advancements and evolving skill demands that define today's job market. Dr. Mouriño expertly combined data with real-world examples, vividly illustrating the challenges and opportunities that both employers and employees face.
I had the privilege of experiencing Dr. Edwin Mourino's take on Psychology in the Workforce in both DisruptHR Orlando and as a guest speaker for my Master of Human Resources students at Rollins College. Dr. Mouriño does an amazing job connecting psychological principles to real-world workplace challenges. His thought process explores how motivation, emotional intelligence, and cognitive biases shape engagement, leadership, and retention, something leaders need to pay attention to if they are going to influence tomorrow's workforce.

The work you do at (HI) Workplace Matters!
Edwin did a great job presenting at DisruptHR Orlando. His passion for his work really shines through, and he is a valued person in our DisruptHR network.
I had the opportunity to partner with Dr Edwin Mourino-Ruiz introducing neuroscience concepts to a crowd of senior leaders, and in less than ideal circumstances, he was able to meet the moment and captivate his audience. Through an ongoing delivery of virtual and in-person workshops, Dr Mourino-Ruiz, Edwin, and I would “talk shop” and share our different insights and perspectives on how similar the challenges are no matter the organization, or no matter the time frame (present, or in the near past, or further back). Even though we had very different backgrounds and came from different parts of the continent we found commonality in our curiosity to learn and passion for helping others. Edwin was masterful at changing his approach, but not his message, depending on who he was engaging with: front line leaders in an industrial setting, or seasoned executives. His background and openness allows him to speak to different audiences effectively, and from a place of experience.
