WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TODAY? The buzzword âquiet quittingâ 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 âQuiet Quitting,â 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 Râs
* We talk about other employment changes occurring now and how they affect employees and leadersWHATâS THE TAKE-AWAY?
Quiet Quitting isnât 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.

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, âthe customer is always rightâ originated
* Examples of how taking on a customer who is not a fit can damage your business success and employee morale
* How implementing an âemployees come firstâ mindset is a win:win
WHATâS 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!

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TODAY? Employee feedback and why itâs often sugar-coated or not fully honest; and by honest we mean brutally honest.

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 itâs taking a toll on mental health and promoting the Great Resignation. Itâs 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
* Itâs over - most people are done going the extra mile for no reward
* A story or two on how we have adapted and why itâs not working any longer
* A laymanâs medical view of Stress and how it affects the human body
* The effects of Doing More With Stress on the Great Resignation.
WHATâS 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 weâre calling "Doing More With Stress" and itâs killing our workforce.

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TODAY? Pissed off customers and why great customer service is essential to career success and business growth.

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TODAY? The SPIFF - is it an Incentive to fail? SPIFF, SPIF, or SPIV are all the same form of a short-term bonus paid to employees that may be used inadvertently to cover up a bigger problem. SPIFFs can be distracting to your leadership career success and business growth. On this podcast episode, we have two stories to tell that are all about that SPIFF and a suggestion for an alternative.
WHAT TOPICS DO WE COVER?
* We thank listener Jared for his question about the purpose behind the SPIFF.
* What is the definition of a SPIFF, SPIF or SPIV and what does it stand for?
* Are SPIFFs really as useful and effective as theyâre made out to be?
* The negative effects of SPIFFs on long-term behavior and business growth.
* A story about the âDistracting Injuryâ and how it relates to SPIFFs.
* A Good SPIFF example.
* The law and IRS issues behind the SPIFF.
* Alternatives to consider.
WHATâS THE TAKE-AWAY?
SPIFFs are often used to try to correct a bigger problem and they often fail to help. Instead, look more closely for the root of the problem and correct that.

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TODAY? Overusing tools like PowerPoint in your presentations. Most people use these tools as a crutch thinking that it helps the presentation. Sometimes they do, but often they distract from the message. Career success and business growth rely on you being YOU! You are the star of the show, and you donât always need Motherâs Little Helper to shine through. We show you a few ways to break your addiction.
WHAT TOPICS DO WE COVER?
* We DONâT cover tips on how to use PowerPoint better!
* We DO talk about the ways PowerPoint can be used effectively.
* Use the Rolling Stones's song Motherâs Little Helper to illustrate our point.
* But we emphasize how to avoid using PowerPoint as a crutch
* Examples of how you can shine without using a slideshow
* Break the addiction of using a presentation tool in a sales pitch
* Show you a real-life example of a non-slideshow presentation.
WHATâS THE TAKE-AWAY? PowerPoint and other slideshow tools can be significant assets - sometimes. But more often than not, theyâre not needed. They distract from your message, dilute your brand, and bore the audience. You can change that and be a better presenter by breaking the addiction.

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TODAY? Work-Life Balance - what is it exactly? Is the word âbalanceâ confusing us into thinking that the hours we spend working and the other hours we spend in life should equal each other? Yes, many people believe that, and unfortunately, itâs not that easy. In fact, the math doesnât work out at all. You canât have a work-life balance if you try to calculate a formula for it, but you can have a work-life balance if you work to change your mood in life.
WHAT TOPICS DO WE COVER?
* When did we start to worry about work-life balance?
* We do the work-life math calculation - and it doesnât work out.
* Work is essential for life; you usually spend most of your time working
* Work-Life balance is not a math formula - itâs a mood you feel.
* Employers need to enable work-life balance programs. We offer some tips.
* How can you change the mood your employees feel about working?
* How can you use mood-altering methods to achieve a genuine work-life balance?
WHATâS THE TAKE-AWAY? You only have so much time in a week to devote to everything in your life - including your need to work. For most of us, work will always consume the majority of our available time. Even so, being in a state of happiness at work and at home is possible if you can be in the right mood for both. If you achieve that mood - you forget about and donât recognize an imbalance.

Here is a draft position statement for a company Ombudsmen, as we discussed in the podcast:
NAME OF PERSON - is Acmeâs Ombudsman and reports directly to the CEO. The role of the Ombudsman at Acme is to have a confidential and impartial teammate available to anyone who has a deep concern about the organization. Concerns could be centered around a policy, a practice, or a person at any level in our business. The guarantee of the Ombudsman is confidentiality and approachability for all, in an informal setting and as an advocate for fairness and equity. The only advice we offer on when itâs proper to use the Ombudsman over talking to your manager or HR first is when you alone feel those other options are not your best choice.

Maybe youâve said ⊠I have a bad feeling about this ⊠and got out of trouble in the nick of time - thatâs also a hunch. Hunches are not guesses, they are rooted in fact and should be taken seriously.

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TODAY? We go letter by letter through the CRM. If you work with customers in sales, support, or literally in any fashion, you likely use a CRM, and as your business grows youâll depend on âCâ - the Customer data portion of the system. You also rely on the âMâ for Management of the information stored, producing reports, and reminding you of important customer-related events. But your career success and advancement depend on knowing that the âRâ in CRM - means Revenue!
WHAT TOPICS DO WE COVER?
* Define the role of the CRM in business
* You know that most businesses that use a CRM are wasting 80% of its power?
* A story about how a CRM could have cost $2.6 million dollars in valuation loss!
* What does the C mean?
* What does the M mean?
* And the star of the show - we define the R - it means Revenue.
* We give real examples of how adding more R to the CRM drives success.
* And of course, we know that the R stands for Relationship, but do you?
* How to make the relationship come alive and make you more Revenue.
WHATâS THE TAKE-AWAY?
We think that most CRM investments are largely wasted because we donât spend enough time perfecting the R part of the system. We highlight the problems and the fixes to help you make more revenue.
