Raising the Temperature on Leadership: The Power of Third Spaces With Therme’s Adam Tanaka
The design of a physical space – its scale, its seating geometry, its relationship to technology – does more to shape human connection than most leaders realize, and more than most team-building budgets reflect. Adam Tanaka, COO of Therme Group US and PhD sociologist, argues that in a world increasingly mediated by screens and AI, the premium on analog, embodied experiences is approaching an inflection point. His case: wellness is no longer a luxury amenity, it's social infrastructure. And leaders who understand that have a meaningful advantage.
