  • Here’s a Cookie - How Sephora’s Employee Recognition Efforts Fell Short After Record Sales
    May 21 2024

    Authentic employee recognition is what keeps a positive company culture alive. It's not just about saying "good job" but really meaning it, showing that you see and appreciate their hard work. This kind of recognition builds trust, bonds teams tighter, and keeps folks motivated to bring their A-game. Plus, it's a win-win – happier employees stick around longer and keep crushing it, which spells success for the whole company

    That’s why it’s shocking and disheartening when leaders get it wrong. Case in point: Sephora North America hit $10 billion in sales recently and sent out stale cookies to their employees instead of recognizing them in a meaningful way.

    So where did Sephora go wrong?

    This episode is about how Sephora North America’s leaders missed the mark with their employee recognition program and what leaders like you can do to avoid the same pitfalls.

  • How to Make Your Company Core Values Come to Life- An Interview with Cody Sutton
    May 14 2024

    Understanding and staying true to your core values is crucial for a successful company. These values shape your company's culture, which is vital for attracting and retaining employees, boosting productivity, and simplifying the hiring process.

    To really make your company's core values come to life, you have to ingrain them into everything you do. Get your team excited about living those values every day. Talk about them, shout them out when someone nails it, and lead by showing how it's done. That's how you turn values from words on paper into a living, breathing part of your company culture.

    Cody Sutton, CEO of Guide Energy, exemplifies this. Despite being in an industry known for high turnover, his company has retained almost all its employees since its start in 2019. Cody faced the daunting challenge of surviving the Covid-19 pandemic as a young entrepreneur. Amidst building his infrastructure and client base, all oil and gas activity ceased in Oklahoma. He pivoted, entering new markets, manufacturing unfamiliar products, and connecting with new clients. Despite the adversity, he persevered, returning to his niche and experiencing steady growth thereafter.

    Let's learn from Cody how he:

    • Transitioned from annual to quarterly goal-setting.
    • Implemented routine systems for communication through weekly and monthly updates, enhanced team collaboration, and goal alignment.
    • Focused on quarterly goal setting led to significant growth, with the company expanding by 400% year over year.
    • During challenging times, pivoted the company's focus and product offerings, demonstrating resilience and innovation in response to market demands.

  • “I Respectfully Disagree” - An Interview with Author Justin Jones-Fosu
    Apr 16 2024

    In these times of extreme polarization, leaders must prioritize the development of the skill of engaging in difficult conversations and mastering the art of respectful disagreement. There is a pivotal role these abilities play in fostering effective communication, nurturing healthy relationships, and driving organizational growth. Difficult conversations, whether addressing employee performance issues or navigating conflicting viewpoints among advisors, are inevitable in any leadership role and demand a willingness to navigate them constructively. By honing the ability to respectfully disagree, leaders create an environment where diverse perspectives are valued, leading to richer discussions, enhanced problem-solving, and ultimately, more informed decision-making. Plus, mastering these skills cultivates trust, strengthens team dynamics, and empowers individuals to voice their opinions confidently, fostering a culture of openness and innovation within the organization.

    In this episode, our guest is Justin Jones Fosu, the CEO of Work Meaningful. Justin brings over two decades of expertise in employee experience and inclusion. His book, "I Respectfully Disagree," offers a refreshing take on conflict management, emphasizing the significance of genuine respect and understanding in difficult conversations. Through his unique framework, Justin encourages individuals and organizations to challenge perspectives, cultivate curiosity, and seek common ground. With a passion for creating respectful environments, Justin's work has significantly impacted leaders and teams, fostering healthier and more productive discussions. His approach not only provides practical tools but also delves into the heart of respectful disagreement, making his insights invaluable for those seeking to enhance their conflict-resolution skills.

    Justin states that his book is “certainly not making the claim that respect alone can solve the world’s biggest problems. But respect on an interpersonal level, in our day-to-day lives, can plant seeds of change in the hearts of those we encounter.”

    In this episode, you will be able to:

    • understand conflict management and how to give feedback to foster a positive work environment.
    • prioritize compassionate thinking for a happier, more productive team.
    • take a strategic approach to constructive dialogue for professional success.
    • learn how to stay connected to people and enhance teamwork and communication.
