What separates great workplaces from average, ordinary workplaces? You know the ones that seem to effortlessly attract incredible people, dominate the competition and always seem to be on the leading edge? I’ve spent the last 10 years discovering what they do and how they do it… and designed a system to help you move your business from being average and ordinary, to one of excellence.And at the heart of that system are values. Because your values represent the best of who you are, what you stand for and what you don’t stand for… individually and collectively.

67. The Can't Miss Formula for Employee Engagement

November 18, 2022 05:00 - 52 minutes - 96.6 MB

You’ve probably heard that people don’t leave bad jobs; they leave because of bad bosses, poor management, and a lack of appreciation of their worth. It’s cliche, yet it happens all the time and exit interviews confirm it. Just because you’re in a management or leadership position, the immature, inexperienced or insecure leader incorrectly assumes that the people on their team will automatically respect, listen and follow direction directions.  It really doesn’t work that way.

August 25, 2022 05:00 - 22 minutes - 41.4 MB

If you’re in any kind of leadership role, there’s a reality check you need to be aware of, and it’s something I see a lot of leaders struggle with. The reality check is this:  there’s a strong chance you’re not getting the full truth from people on your team. That’s right. They’re holding out on you and not being 100% open and honest with you.

50. Five Ways To Improve Employee Engagement With Your Manufacturing Team

May 14, 2022 01:00 - 21 minutes - 14.6 MB

There’s a wall between people who work on the production floor — and those in the office. That wall is a barrier in both the literal and figurative sense.

According to some research from Gallup, less than 25% of employees in the US strongly believe their company cares about their wellbeing. That figure was hi...

Has your business missed a goal and what you heard was, "but we did our best!" The reality is that people actually do only as much as they were willing to do.  That sounds a little harsh, but it's absolutely what happens every day in businesses around the country.

Just because people wear shorts and flip flops to work (‘casual dress code’) does NOT mean we aren’t driven to kic...
