In this episode, we examine what it takes to become a better leader and the realities of teaching yourself the needed skills and capabilities with books, webinars, and other self-study materials.

Our prescription for this episode: understand that the journey from information to knowledge to wisdom is possible alone, but only in rare situations is it practical. Leadership development is best not tackled alone.

In this episode, we examine what we call "The Technical Founder Paradox", which we define as: When the skills, abilities, and mindset of the founders, which were crucial to starting and growing the business, are what stand in the way of the business’ sustainability and scalability.

Our prescription for this episode: let's start looking at the skills we need for growth, whether they are skills we need to develop, hire for, or put in place so we can step back to focus on what we are good at.

In this episode, we explore 3 questions that came up in a recent Employee Retention event:

1. Are organizations underutilizing how they build and use policies?
2. How long do cultural transformations usually take?
3. Are there industry or generational differences in the value of job security?

Our prescription for this episode: develop a broader understanding of these three topics. Policy manuals/handbooks, workplace culture transformations, and job security are things we may not have been seeing with the weight and clarity we needed to get the most out of them.

In this episode, we examine the 4 industry trends that negatively impact the workforce and organizational efficiency. These trends are not necessarily new, but their prevalence is creating greater disruption to organizational success in today's business climate.

The 4 trends are:

1. Primarily family-run businesses not evolving with current business norms.
2. Are our human service sectors humane to work in?
3. Mergers & Acquisition (M&A) growth strategies often undervalue cultural mergers
4. Leaders who are experts in tasks and products, not people management

Our prescription for this episode: take a hard look at the norms in your workplace. Are any (or all) of these trends present where you work? Would some of our recommendations address the root cause of many of your organizational challenges?

In this episode, we examine the 4 Faces of HR. These are defined by the company's leadership's expectations and priorities placed on HR professionals. What to the initials of "H" and "R" reflect in how people and culture are managed in your organization?

Does HR stand for...

• Holding Red-tape (primarily a compliance and administration generalist focus)

• Highly Reactive (primarily a talent acquisition focus and "putting our fires" focus)

• Hovering & Restricting (primarily a reporting, discipline, and enforcement focus)

• Humans Required (primarily a human capital, employees as assets focus)

Our prescription for this episode: understand that a human capital strategy is going to be the key to your scalability. If you are not scaling your internal growth in tandem with your external growth you are barreling toward costly and extensive problems.

In this episode, we examine 3 psychological principles that can hopefully provide folks with a lens to allow for a better understanding of those we work with.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Affect Intensity
• Belief Perseverance (combined with the Backfire Effect)
• Self Sabotage

Our prescription for this episode: many interpersonal and professional conflicts arise from a lack of understanding of where a lot of our differences come from. If we take the time to consider the "why" behind people's behavior, we can bring more patience, grace, and solutions to the troubles of our workplaces.

In this episode, we explore 3 questions posed to us by our listeners:

1. Why do many recognition programs fall short?
2. Why do many teams give up on people and culture initiatives?
3. How can a new manager improve things when they do not have the authority to change them?

Our prescription for this episode: understand the complexity of efforts, changes, and programs you want to implement. Anything involving people is naturally complex, so "off the shelf" solutions never work every time, in every situation, for everybody.
