EP #266 Fair is NOT The Same
Speaking of Impact
You CAN’T treat people the same. I have seen a thousand leadership trainings and even more pieces of advice. Most of it is way too generalized. There is no perfect style. You have to consider how to treat people fairly. And that is really tough. The best leaders learn from every interaction they have. You’re not born with a special skill. It can be trained but it’s mort about what you deliver to others than how effective you are at motivation or management. This episode will cover why you can treat people the same and how to be a better giver (leader) regardless of your title or...

EP #265 Should You Expect the Unexpected?
Speaking of Impact
The unexpected sucks. But it doesn’t have too. In fact, I think you need it for greatness… …in life, in relationships, in business, and in workplace culture. I had a few unexpected things happen to me over the last few weeks and it got me thinking about resilience and the other related things to handling the unexpected. My business career, like yours, has been riddled with the unexpected. Adaptation has been critical. How does this apply to the culture of your workplace? I wanted to talk about it from the perspective of the employer and the employee. So, I did. 😁 * ======= For...

EP #264 Recruitment vs. Retention
Speaking of Impact
Why do we separate these two things? There’s a problem in today’s corporate environment. We think we have to recruit people away from other companies and then “retain” them. But what if we thought of these things more similarly? If people are thinking about leaving so easily, than you’ve already lost them. You haven’t delivered on what you said in the recruitment process. This lack of integrity causes a significant problem as companies and teams grow. You do so much to recruit and then you have to double down to retain. It should be a more cohesive process, and I have...

EP #263 This is the Most Important Trait a Leader Can Have
Speaking of Impact
There’s this trait that every leader should have. You can name a million of them but what is it? I’ve heard plenty of leadership trainings. The best one’s will focus one specific trait for practice that can level up your work. But there’s only one that I believe should be applied generally. We live in a world of more. Yet, in this case, you can bet that if you treat people this way, you’ll find success in building relationships. Wel built relationships lead to strong teams that attract top talent and loyal customers. People want to be part of this type of environment. I had to invest...

EP #262 Stop “Balancing” Work and Life
Speaking of Impact
Balance is impossible - and undesirable. I left town thinking I’d get "refreshed” but realized I actually just got deeper into the important stuff. This is how time off should be. If you’re only relieved when you’re away from the office, you’re missing something. This isn’t the first time I’ve talked about how I don’t shoot for work/life balance but it’s the deepest dive. I like to think about work life harmony instead. It’s simpler. More realistic. And much more desirable. This episode is all about why. Have a generous rest of the week. 😀 * ======= For in depth...

EP #261 Why People Quit Their Job
Speaking of Impact
People are quitting their jobs a lot these days. Should you try to avoid it or let people go? It depends…. There are some good reasons why someone might leave their job: relocation retirement family illness new opportunity I wouldn’t consider any of these “quitting”. They are reasons for change. No one would fault your company for them and so it doesn’t hurt recruitment/retnetion. What does hurt though is when someone feels bad enough that they quit - decide it’s not worth it. It’s important to understand the difference between these two things and the real reason why...

EP #260 Closing the Generous Culture Loop (Step 3)
Speaking of Impact
You can’t do generous culture alone and that’s why you have to close the loop. The great news is that you two thirds of the way there. It’s important to understand how culture is “felt”. It’s key in this case because the exponential growth factor is accessed in this flywheel of giving. The third step in the process is what ignites your entire teams passion for a giving culture. It’s where educate them on what’s working and encourage them to jump in and add their own twist. Once they know, they go. That puts them in their own loop and attracting others.

They say the first step is the hardest. The second ain’t that easy either. But it’s totally worth it and that’s exactly what I’m talking about today. My “ACE” process has three steps and you can’t get to three without the two. Last week, you learned about taking action to learn about your people.

These three things are critical tools for a business. I can’t minimize whatsoever but I would like to stress the importance that generosity has on them. If you want to build great culture you should start as early as possible.
