WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TODAY?  The buzzword “quiet quitting” was coined during the pandemic when overworked employees felt underappreciated and struggled to find ways to achieve work/life balance.  We talk about this trend and how a similar leadership trend, #missingmanager, affects the workforce and your business.

WHAT TOPICS DO WE COVER?

* What is “Quiet Quitting,” and why is it happening
* What are #missingmanagers, and how do they affect their employees and business
* We discuss the Harvard Business Review article about why the workplace is changing, including a description of The Five R’s
* We talk about other employment changes occurring now and how they affect employees and leaders

WHAT’S THE TAKE-AWAY? 

Quiet Quitting isn’t about quitting. Instead, it is a mindset where employees are fulfilling their job duties but not going above and beyond to achieve work/life balance.  #missingmanagers  have a similar mindset where these managers do the bare minimum to get by at the expense of their employees.  Both of these trends affect your employees and business.

Kelli, who “worked for the man like a dog for decades,” and Dave, who “started or ran businesses all of his life,” quickly realized there may be substantial value for others based on those combined experiences. The “My Job Here Is Done” Podcast is the result.

* How to apply the One Percent Rule to business or your personal life

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TODAY? The old verbiage of the customer is always right and the customer comes first can actually damage your business, employee morale, and customer satisfaction. Businesses must determine whether potential customers are a good fit for them and if the business is a good fit for the customer for both to be successful.  When employees come first, they will delight customers who will feel as if they come first.  This is a win:win for the business, customers, and employees.

WHAT TOPICS DO WE COVER?

* Challenging the old sayings, the customer comes first and the customer is always right

* Personal stories about the consequences associated with these philosophies

* Where the phrase, “the customer is always right” originated

* Examples of how taking on a customer who is not a fit can damage your business success and employee morale

* How implementing an “employees come first” mindset is a win:win

WHAT’S THE TAKE-AWAY?

We believe the customer is not always right nor do they always come first.  Customers must fit your business and your business must offer products or services that fit customer needs.  When businesses put employees first, the employees provide a customer experience where customers feel like they come first and everyone wins!

An entrepreneur and intrapreneur duo with street smarts, ‘preneurial’ chops, and a penchant for storytelling.

Dave and Kelli met as teenagers and have a life-long story of their own. They took separate and contrasting career paths, both struggling with challenges and celebrating their career successes differently. 

Over the years, they noticed similarities in their stories about their work, the people they interacted with, and how business was conducted. Kelli, who “worked for the man like a dog for decades,” and Dave, who “started or ran businesses all of his life,” quickly realized there is substantial value for others in those combined experiences. The “My Job Here Is Done” Podcast is the result.

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TODAY? Employee feedback and why it’s often sugar-coated or not fully honest; and by honest we mean brutally honest. It’s essential for leadership career success and business growth for employees to not fear anything when asked to provide input and opinion, but often they feel there will be consequences if they speak out. We look at this problem in detail.

WHAT TOPICS DO WE COVER?

* Trust in Leadership and its importance to employee feedback

* Our Top 5 FEAR factors and some mitigation strategies

* When not to ask for feedback; wrong venue - wrong time

* Some troubling statistics about how employees view managers

* Is it true “You can’t handle the truth!” as a leader asking for feedback?

WHAT’S THE TAKE-AWAY?

Employees have valuable - read critical - information that leadership can use to better the business fast, but often it’s sugar-coated or withheld due to a set of real employee fears. If you break those fears down, address them properly, and change a few old-fashioned ways, you’ll be surprised at what you can learn.

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TODAY? Doing more with less is actually Doing More With Stress. COVID forced us to make what we thought would be temporary changes, and our teams stretched to adapt - they did a great job! But what we thought was temporary now seems permanent and it’s taking a toll on mental health and promoting the Great Resignation. It’s now Doing More With Stress and we need to fix it.

WHAT TOPICS DO WE COVER?

* The difference between doing more with less and doing more with stress.

* How COVID pushed our workforce to the breaking limit

* It’s over - most people are done going the extra mile for no reward

* A story or two on how we have adapted and why it’s not working any longer

* A layman’s medical view of Stress and how it affects the human body

* The effects of Doing More With Stress on the Great Resignation.

WHAT’S THE TAKE-AWAY?

When COVID first changed everything in business, our teams adapted to the situation by expanding their roles, doing more with less, and keeping our businesses running. But most people believe business needs to return to normal now, and doing more with less has morphed into a mental health issue we’re calling "Doing More With Stress" and it’s killing our workforce.
