137 Leaders; Things to Consider Before your Terminate a position Sep 20, 2019

Show notes

Ian discusses his thoughts on leadership, culture and employee satisfaction.

Your homework was.

Take a look at your rule book, take a red pen and get rid of those petty rules.
Take your team out individually for a walk in fresh air and be genuinely interested in them and how they are feeling.
Take a sledgehammer and smash that pool table if its just a prop.
Take a look at yourself, what do you think employees say about you when you aren't in the room.
Take your finger off the trigger and try to understand if there is any way to salvage the position or redploy them elsewhere.

Training is the easy bit, finding a Rockstar is the hard work.
