084: Tim Leman | Owning the CEO Function May 07, 2020

Show notes

Truth You Can Act On:

Know people's motivation: We can't treat all of our people the same. Everyone's motivated in different ways and we have to know what's there why. We have to spend time listening and understanding how your employees are motivated.
Employees first: Customer service should be a top priority but it can't take precedence over your employees. When you help your employees win they'll walk through fire for you and your customers.
Build on their strengths: Always look for the good in people and acknowledge what they're doing well. You can build loyalty by leading with positivity. When we have a strong relationship with people they stop expecting you to be perfect and start focusing on how they can help bring the company's vision to life.

083: Bob Greene | Human Capital Management In The Multigenerational Workforce Apr 30, 2020

Show notes

Truth You Can Act On:

Millennials are now the largest population in the workplace. They want two things most: Regular feedback and an employer that stands behind them.
Communications platforms need to be easily accessible from all devices. Whatever you're doing to communicate now – increase the cadence.
Reminder – Reject the generational stereotypes that you hear. The only exception is your own experience.
Your application process must be simple. If it's not, you'll be missing out on recruiting younger talent.

082: Corina Roobeck | Unleashing the Voice of the Other Apr 23, 2020

Show notes

Truth You Can Act On:

Relationship skills are essential skills. They're not optional and they're not "soft" skills
Make sure your mindset is locked-in to the endgame. This helps us fast track and innovate faster and helps our people feel safe.
Deliberately recruit diversity and on-board uniquely. Stop cloning. Every human needs a unique experience to help them unlock their potential.
Walk the talk. Integrity in leadership is not perfection, it's showing up and displaying the courage to be vulnerable as a leader.

080: Ron Brumbarger | When One Teaches, Two Learn Apr 09, 2020

Show notes

Truth You Can Act On:

Mentoring is a mindset. In order for us to deploy an effective mentoring program, we must be intentional about developing mentors inside of our organization and at the same time making mentoring relationships a norm.
The core of a mentoring relationship is trust. What are you doing to equip your people with trust-building exercises and giving them a platform and tools to do this consistently?
Relationship building is an essential skill. Are you teaching and encouraging it in your company?
All mentor-mentee relationships need goals. Start with the end in mind knowing what you're working to accomplish both on the mentor and mentee side. Many times where mentoring relationships break down is just their way too gray. So stay on track, stay focused and keep your eye on the prize.
