Host Bill Ringle's mission with this show is to provide the strategies, insights, and resources that will unlock the growth potential of your business through these powerful conversations. Interview Insights Top 3 Takeaways The pandemic ushered in an era in which 'respect' is the currency that makes people stay in their job. Leaders who make an extra effort to keep their top performers usually do. No matter how high the pay, if employees feel that they are undervalued, disregarded, and disrespected, they move on. At least those with the most potential and ambition move on. Know your employees. Take a quick survey of what they like and dislike, or ask any questions that will give you a better understanding of who they are. This way, you'll know how to give them respect in a way that matters most. Each person defines respect differently. Show Notes from this Episode Merrylue shared about her friend Joanna who, during one of the darkest moments, reminded her that our quest is not to be perfect but only to be our best. [01:44] The pandemic accelerated changes that were already been building up tensions. Merrylue explains why today's work environment is no longer "your grandfather's workplace." [07:26] Why is it important to avoid overloading top performers? [11:16] What is one of the dangers of top performers quitting? It tends to be a domino effect. After all, these are people their peers look up to. [13:40] What are stay interviews? What are some of the advantages stay interviews have over exit interviews? [17:20] Respect is defined differently by different people. Sally and Leroy's answer to the question, "What is it that would be most respectful to you," could not be further from each other. [20:15] What are the 3Rs that can be used to retain talent? Requirements, Rewards, and Respect. [24:16] CASE: Sandy works in the film industry in LA. She feels like she doesn't get enough respect at work, so despite the excellent pay, she dreads her working hours. [27:52] CASE: Jim works for a start-up company. Unlike Sandy, Jim isn't paid that much, but Jim loves his work. He is always looking forward to going to work, and that is because he feels like he is being treated like gold.

Host Bill Ringle's mission with this show is to provide the strategies, insights, and resources that will unlock the growth potential of your business through these powerful conversations. Interview Insights Top 3 Takeaways When our business grows, so do our responsibilities. As leaders, we need to learn how to change where we spend our time, delegate obligations, and know when to hire external help. Receiving 360 feedback will give us words that can hurt us. But feedback is critical because we might be 100% assured that we are competent enough with a job that sometimes we need our people to point out when and where we're falling short. When our own people are hesitant to share their honest feedback even when asked, that is a sign of lack of trust and an urgent matter we need to fix. Read the Show Notes from this Episode Chuck talks about his greatest influence growing up, his best friend's father Frank, who is also a father figure to him. [01:44] Understanding how the size of our organization affects how we communicate and how we care about our people. [04:28] How does a manager's time shift as an organization grows?

[11:42] What can you learn from receiving 360 feedback that can make you a better leader?.[14:26] CASE: Mike and why lack of trust alarm bells sound if our people don't talk to us even when asked.

Interview Insights Top 3 Takeaways from this Interview Your second in command must be the yin to your yang, complementing your skills, interests, and responsibilities.

A talented COO knows that they would need to find the right combination of company stage, industry, business model, and chemistry with the CEO to make significant contributions. An effective COO is essential to scaling your business. If strategic growth is stuck, check with your COO for their perspective before reviewing the sales performance metrics. Read the Show Notes from this Episode Cameron cites Thomas Edison's observation that "Vision without execution is hallucination." CASE: The story of how Brian Scudamore, founder and CEO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK hired Cameron as its first COO, employee 14. What can someone who reports to the CEO, as a COO, say, do to improve their relationship? Think of it like a good marriage. CASE: What was the story behind the conflict you resolved at 1-800-JUNK between the head of product and head of IT? How did you grow the COO Alliance during the pandemic lock down? How do you use the Kolbe assessment to make your COO Alliance members better leaders? How did you come to broaden your understanding of the many types of roles that COOs can play? Lessons from Clayton Mask, the founder of Infusionsoft and a Harvard Business Review article. Where did the double-double rule of thumb come from, where the management team that takes you through a revenue doubling twice probably needs to be updated or replaced? What's your approach to and experience with using ChatGPT and Open AI in your work? My Quest for the Best Lightning Round Begins When do you know it is time to move on as COO?

By the age of 42, Cameron engineered 1-800-GOT-JUNK's spectacular growth from $2 Million to $106 Million in revenue and 3100 employees - and he did that in just six years. His companies landed over 5,200 media placements in that same six years, including coverage on Oprah.

Listen to these two tracks of booster content just for ambitious small business leaders. Track 1: A the behind-the-scenes look at the work that The Richardson Group (TRG), Chick-fil-A's marketing agency, did to produce an outstanding tagline. Track 2: Here is how to make your interactions with clients more positively memorable by responding better to the expression of appreciation. Track 1 383: Resolving conflict is a critical skill for workplace relationships with guest expert Dr. Paul White Maybe we're making a joke at someone else's expense and thinking incorrectly that they'll laugh along. Maybe you've been puzzled by a key team member who resists taking an assignment — others know that he is leaving for another company and hasn't told you yet. Maybe you've left someone out of an announcement unintentionally because you were in a rush and didn't review before pressing send.   That's where the apology languages come in! Expressing regret ("I'm sorry.")Accepting responsibility (I was wrong.)Accepting restitution (What can I do to make it right?)Planned change (I'll take specific steps to prevent a recurrence.)Requesting forgiveness (Will you please forgive me?) Track 2 Here are three common business missteps that lead to deflating your API: intent, motive, and value.Listen to these instances to help you find examples from your own experiences. Misperceiving Intent – where you choose to think someone is not well-intentioned.Many years ago, a friend of mine asked a few of us to share which gemstone we thought was prettiest to help him in designing a ring for his SO. Afterward, a colleague confided in me with some bitterness in her voice: "I didn't like that he asked my opinion about his stinking gems – he did that to rub my nose in the fact that no one ever did that for me."  Misperceiving Motive – where you choose to assign a negative rather than positive motive to a colleague's actions or decisions. Bruce is gregariously vocal and outgoing, and at a poolside party, called everyone together to sing happy birthday when he found out that it was a colleague's birthday. She cried afterward because she thought he was being mean when he was just being himself and amplifying what he thought was a happy occasion.  Misinterpreting Value – where you devalue someone's contributions, usually in comparison to your own, instead of accepting independently. As a board member, I remember resenting one colleague who always asked for issues that were covered in the advanced materials to be explained during the sessions.

Listen to these two tracks of booster content just for ambitious small business leaders. Track 1: A the behind-the-scenes look at the work that The Richardson Group (TRG), Chick-fil-A's marketing agency, did to produce an outstanding tagline. Track 2: Here is how to make your interactions with clients more positively memorable by responding better to the expression of appreciation. Track 1 382: Brands fail when they do not listen to the customer enough with guest expert Steve Robinson A lot of work goes into it. As you'll understand, even in this very condensed version, that'll be excerpting from Covert Cows and Chick-fil-A by the company's first chief marketing officer, Steve Robinson, you'll get some great value from it. In the case of Chick-fil-A, a perspective client they were looking for a single idea around which to build a campaign. The most persuasive idea has 5 points. It capitalizes on the one advantage that no competitor can.It matches the brand's character and culture.It's unique.It's endearing.It's memorable. Track 2 So how do you make this a positive interaction that adds to the business relationship?Contrast asking for a water bottle at the front desk at a 3-star vs a 5-star hotel and you'll understand the difference high standards and excellent training makes. At a 3-star hotel, I might not even see someone behind the desk. The last time I asked while traveling to a client's office and receiving a complimentary water bottle, I said, "thank you so much!" and got a shrug and an "OK" as a reply. Both the interaction and the water bottle were lukewarm, and that experience dampened my relationship with the hotel — not just the individual, but with the brand. At a 5-star hotel, everything about that same interaction has a different feel. I remember being in the DC Ritz Carlton and asking for a water bottle at the front desk on the way out to a morning walk. Three people were staffing the desk, and the two who weren't helping another guest looked at each and flashed an expression at each other like two ball kids at a professional tennis match who was going to compete to get the stray ball. Justin handed me the chilled water bottle with two hands, smiled, looked me in the eye, and said, "My pleasure."

Host Bill Ringle's mission with this show is to provide the strategies, insights, and resources that will unlock the growth potential of your business through these powerful conversations. Interview Insights Top 3 Takeaways Declare your intention on why you called this meeting or are taking this course of action. This provides clarity and lessens the probability of misinterpretations. Most importantly, remember to keep your actions aligned with your stated intentions. Manage expectations by setting boundaries on what you cannot do. It is better to say 'no' and let people down early on rather than make a commitment you wouldn't be able to fulfill. That will break trust, harm your relationship, and damage your reputation.Do not stretch your people more than their abilities or temporary limits. It is better to give your employees wins by setting attainable goals. Let your people know and feel that you care about them as people, not just their work roles. Read the Show Notes from this Episode Radio host Bruce Williams left a profound mark on Scott's astuteness in business and how the world really works. [01:12]Scott shared to whom his book Management Mess To Leadership Success is for. [04:15]Steve Jobs' behavior from 30 years ago is one of the most discussed examples when discussing leadership behavior. Scott openly talks about his humbling moment when what he thought was his best leadership moment turned out to be one of his weakest and how he bounced back from that terrible meeting with his team. [08:11]Scott zeros in on the significance of declaring our intent and the consequences if our actions do not align with it. [13:30]Blaine Lee wrote, "Nearly all if not all, conflict arises from mismatched or unfulfilled expectations." Scott elaborates on this problem with unfulfilled expectations and how to avoid them. [18:12]One story in Scott's book is when a consultant from Canada proved that you can still follow through with your commitment even after being released from it. This story is a showcase of dedication and true commitment. [20:45]The analogy of jockeys and their prized horses and leaders and their prized people. [24:04]Scott uses the fable of the goose and the golden egg to relay to the listeners why good leaders know not to force the capacity out of their employees. [26:44]The analogy of jockeys, their prized horses, leaders, and their prized people. [24:04]Scott uses the fable of the goose and the golden egg to relay to the listeners why good leaders know not to force the capacity out of their employees [29:30]Pete was an employee of Scott's who was afraid to ask because he could not read what Scott could give until Scott asked him to declare his intent. The result is clarity and a better understanding of each other. [29:30]Going back to setting boundaries, Scott explains how just because employees are free to declare their intent, those intentions should still be within what's reasonable.

Interview Insights Top 3 Takeaways We can't have a work-life balance every day. There are busy seasons and seasons of relaxation. You don't have to meet someone in person to make them your mentor. It could be anyone who is wise or experienced that you can learn from. A mentor doesn't need to be someone perfect or someone who is always successful. A mentor can also be someone who failed because we can learn from their failures so we won't fall into the same traps they fell into. Read the Show Notes from this Episode Scott shares two quotes that guide him: Life happens for you, not to you, and not live life through the lens of I have to, or I ought to, but rather I get to. [01:38]A fun Italian holiday with the Millers. [04:41]Scott elaborated on work-life balance and advice given to him by The Biggest Loser fitness coach Jillian Michaels. [07:03]Scott explains the meaning and the qualities of a 'Master Mentor.' [08:41]A central topic in his book Master Mentor Vol.1, Scott gives further emphasis on the concept 'vulnerability is leadership competency.' [14:59]Master Mentors Vol. 2 contains Hidden Stories that readers can watch by scanning the QR codes at the end of the chapters. [16:20]Another hidden gem accessible by QR in his book is the funny story of Ed Mylett, one of the top business leaders and performance experts, and the kit car of a girl he met in Laguna Beach.

Host Bill Ringle's mission with this show is to provide the strategies, insights, and resources that will unlock the growth potential of your business through these powerful conversations. Interview Insights Top 3 Takeaways The pandemic caused a major shift in the seller-buyer dynamic. While face-to-face selling has been proven effective, companies should train their people in new ways to engage with their buyers, like when a transaction is done on a Zoom screen where reading body language is harder than it is in-person. It is time for people to acknowledge the importance of learning virtual skills, as remote transactions are now even more normal than face-to-face meetings. Both types of selling are "new-normals." Being an efficient virtual seller is good, and being an efficient face-to-face seller is good, but being a great "hybrid-seller" is far better! Read the Show Notes from this Episode Andy talks about Randy Gage, the thought leader who studied prosperity in modern times and how his writing caused the biggest shift in Andy's life. [01:26] As the volume of sellers increased, Andy noted how competition made many sellers devalue their offerings, and he encourages listeners always to know the value of what you have to offer. [05:15] What were the obstacles to adapting during the Pandemic for to salespeople used to meetings in person? How can they get back on track? [08:20] What is the most helpful mindset, attitude, and approach to how sellers can thrive over this new challenge of selling remotely? [10:36] CASE: One of the first companies that Andy helped with this new way of selling was a water company. They were well known in their market as one of the best vendors for their product until the pandemic hit, and they had to learn how to sell to their clients without the face-to-face selling. [15:20] Why do sales teams need different tool kits to respond to drastically different situations? Are there ways to prevent members of your sales team from giving away too much leverage to the buyer? [23:44] What do most people miss about the importance of the discovery stage in a virtual environment? [27:00] What are some of the secrets you've learned about how sales professionals can use the virtual environment to their advantage?

Host Bill Ringle's mission with this show is to provide the strategies, insights, and resources that will unlock the growth potential of your business through these powerful conversations. Interview Insights Top 3 Takeaways If we are data literate, we can read data faster, interpret them better, and be quicker in making decisions and providing solutions. The goal of data visualization is to provide the most significant degree of understanding in the least amount of effort. It spares us from cognitive overload because it is easier to understand what we can quickly see. Collaboration is about creating something far more significant than you can make independently. Read the Show Notes from this Episode Steve talks about his fourth-grade teacher, Mario Messi, who developed his love of reading. He is part of Steve's pursuit of data literacy. [01:45]How do the best leaders create the best conditions that allow their people to be their best and perform at their best and make sure to celebrate it. [04:29]Recognizing good work is not about physical rewards, like a plaque, but a genuine understanding of your people's contributions. [05:18]The Big Picture and The Big Book of Dashboards are geared toward data visualization practitioners. Steve talks about his fear in writing about this topic of serving some things that experts may already know about. [06:07]People tend to cling to their old tools, like spreadsheets, even if they are not as effectively reporting data as data visualization. Steve encourages us not to fear being a beginner again and embrace data literacy. [08:19]How to know if you are data literate. [10:16]Why do we see so many bar charts? [11:43]Data visualization versus storytelling: How to go from being just data literate to be able to use data to tell a story or make decisions. [14:27]The four components of setting the stage for effective data visualization: 1. Somebody needs to know the data. 2. somebody has to know the tool. 3. Have stakeholders help steer decision-making. 4. Be able to iterate quickly as you get feedback from others.[16:00]Steve shared his experience as one of the many people making graphs for Seth Godin's upcoming book, The Carbon Almanac. [21:15]Chapter eight of the book talks about Charle Menard's chart, which is considered the Monalisa of data visualization, and the problems that Steve finds in it.

My Quest for the Best is a top-rated small business podcast with over 300 episodes of thought-provoking and insightful interviews with today's top thought leaders and business experts. Host Bill Ringle's mission with this show is to provide the strategies, insights, and resources that will unlock the growth potential of your business through these powerful conversations. Interview Insights Top 3 Takeaways While as leaders, our goal is to lead our organizations to success, we should not neglect essential areas in our personal lives, like our relationships and our health, to keep up our high energy. Our energy directly impacts our performance which directly affects the people we lead. Not prioritizing our personal development tanks our ability to lead. Instead of committing to following a to-do list, we should instead figure out what works best by aligning our energy and our schedule to what's most important. Read the Show Notes from this Episode A unique source of inspiration for Byron when he was growing up is Tome Delonge from Blink 182. [05:52]Byron shares how the artist he looked up to and his band, through their music, influenced his career as a businessman. [02:38]The impact Byron wants to achieve when he wrote The Effective CEO and how it's the other side of his previous book, CEO In Control. [04:29]Byron recalls the day he decided to change as a person, which led to him writing his first bestselling book, Become a Better You, and starting his business. [05:33]Matthew was a client of Byron's who runs a small advertising agency. He was struggling with his team not getting on board and him not knowing how to effectively delegate. [07:33]Why our personal lives should not be brushed off to purely focus on our role as leaders. [09:05]A key principle in Byron's book The Effective CEO is figuring out your energy and how to structure your schedule to align with that. [11:20]Jason is another client of Byron's, running a tech startup in Silicon Valley. Jason loves his to-do lists, not realizing that this practice of checking the boxes is a terrible approach for CEOs. [13:06]How to effectively implement and commit to time blocking and make it a part of your work style. [15:40]My Quest for the Best lightning round begins. [24:36] Expert Bio Byron Morrison is the author of the books "The Effective CEO" and "CEO In Control", as well as being a speaker and coach. He helps CEOs take control and become more effective in their role so that they can maximize their time, lead with confidence and grow a business without losing their sanity.

My Quest for the Best is a top-rated small business podcast with over 300 episodes of thought-provoking and insightful interviews with today's top thought leaders and business experts. Host Bill Ringle's mission with this show is to provide the strategies, insights, and resources that will unlock the growth potential of your business through these powerful conversations. Interview Insights Top 3 Takeaways Managers should have a classification system for who should be back at the office, continue working remotely, or work hybrid, and must be very clear-cut as to why because of the nature of these employees' or this department's job, they can be more efficient in this kind of work environment. Always be explicit about what you say. Any misinformation or misrepresentation of a process or path can capsize our credibility and demotivate our people. Fairness is not treating your people the same but based on their needs because some people need more assistance than others, while some need to be held more accountable. Remember that your employees are at different levels of the growth curve. Read the Show Notes from this Episode Jim got his first job as a bagger for State Brothers and his first boss, David Gamon, made him realize that with the right leadership, work can be fun no matter what position you hold. [01:03]His former manager's influence seeped through his next, proving that in some cases, it is not enough to explain; it would be more efficient to demonstrate. [04:08]A big problem in today's work is that some people want things to go back to how they were pre-pandemic, while others fully embrace remote work. Each has its reasons. Jim weighs in on how leaders should handle this to benefit both the company and the employees. [07:15]A big problem for most remote managers is trusting that their employees are working. Jim addresses this concern and gives tips on how managers can better monitor employees despite the physical distance. [11:25]Mike is a manager who failed to be explicit when discussing his promotion paths to his employees. As a result, expectations were crushed, and his credibility tanked. [16:10]The dangers of being a 'know-it-all' manager. Jim gives excellent points on why leaders should say, 'I don't know' more often. [18:51]My Quest for the Best lightning round begins. [25:50] Expert Bio James G. Wetrich, LFACHE is the CEO of The Wetrich Group of Companies and the author of Stifled: Where Good Leaders Go Wrong. His writing has also appeared in the 2021 anthology series Quitless: The Power of Persistence in Business and Life, a USA Today and WSJ best seller. Having led teams on three continents for more than 40 years and consulted with over 100 companies, Jim has seen great leaders who have thrived and ones that have failed. A noted expert in leadership, Jim's leadership lessons are as highly sought after by today's business students as they are among Baby Boomers. From 2006 to 2014, Jim built a team at Molnlycke Health Care that grew the revenue over 7 times and the EBITDA over 20 times creating over $1BN growth in enterprise value and taking the US business from number 5 to number 1 in the served market with an employee satisfaction index of over 95%. Jim is passionate about diversity and inclusion and hosted a two-day meeting for all women in the organization (not just high potentials) to discuss their unique challenges. As the founder and CEO of The Wetrich Group of Companies, Jim focuses now on coaching and mentorship and spreading his leadership lessons to help i...
