The last five years have seen an ever-tightening talent pool and, therefore, increased competition for great employees. It seemed that it was a pandemic-related phenomenon at first, but demographics tell us that in fact, this is here to stay for many years. Coupled with this tight labor market, employees have become more particular about what they are looking for in their work, and they have become more apt to move on if their situation is not just right. The great resignation and quiet quitting, were, it turns out, just the start. In this era where it has become so challenging to hire great employees and even more so to keep them, Michael Horn invites us to understand why, and how to combat this trend. Michael is a longtime friend of Tugboat Institute®'s and Co-Founder of the Clayton Christensen Institute for Disruptive Innovation. In his recent book, Job Moves, he explores what drives employees to quit so readily and offers them advice about what factors to consider when considering taking this step. In this Tugboat Institute talk, he flips his perspective and offers company leaders a look into the factors that drive employees to quit - and to stay – in order to be more intentional about improving recruitment and reducing turnover. It turns out that many of the things he recommends go hand in hand with being an Evergreen® company. Watch and consider how you might improve your employees' experience and keep your best players for the long term.

In this powerful and important episode, we sit down with Mary Rose Mazzola—attorney, public policy powerhouse, and Chief External Affairs Officer at Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts—to unpack what it means to fight for reproductive justice in an increasingly chaotic world.

What is care? And how do we keep going when the wins feel scarce?

Send us a textEpisode 137: What if the key to transforming your business lies not in adding more resources, but in simply understanding how your employees move through their workspace? In this eye-opening conversation with Service Physics co-founders Brian Reece and Steve Crowley, we uncover the hidden costs of inefficient processes that might be quietly draining your profits and customer satisfaction.Website: www.servicephysics.comService Physics app download: Apple StoreService Physics app download: AndroidBrian Reece: LinkedInSteve Crowley: LinkedInBrian and Steve's journey began at Starbucks during the financial crisis, where they witnessed firsthand how applying lean principles transformed a struggling company into a global powerhouse. After further refining their approach at Anheuser-Busch, they founded Service Physics with a mission to make these powerful techniques accessible to businesses of all sizes. Their unique consulting approach—which they playfully describe as "doing consulting wrong"—focuses on being physically present in the workspace, collecting real data, and experimenting with improvements rather than simply delivering recommendations.One of their most powerful revelations? The true cost of motion. Through simple techniques like "spaghetti diagrams" that track worker movements, they demonstrate how activities that look like work but add no value (like walking) can represent 10% of labor costs—translating to millions in opportunity costs for mid-sized companies. Even more striking is their finding that most service businesses already have sufficient equipment capacity; they're simply not using it efficiently.What sets Service Physics apart is their focus on driving top-line growth rather than merely cutting costs. By helping businesses understand leading indicators (like customer queue length or transaction time) rather than just lagging metrics (like sales), they enable proactive improvements that capture previously unmet customer demand. Their entrepreneurial journey offers valuable lessons in bootstrapping a business, building systems that don't rely solely on founders, and creating clarity through effective communication—including innovative approaches like using AI to transform quarterly updates into podcasts.Ready to discover how much hidden capacity your business already has?

Shoot us a Text.On this last week of the month, we're looking at the state of the automotive M&A market and what dealers can expect for the rest of the year. Plus, we cover how Ford is adopting a new media and press strategy, and look at how In-N-Out cracked the top 10 of Best Large Employers.Show Notes with links:The dealership buy-sell market is expected to stay active in 2025. Normalizing store profits could make buyers more cautious in finalizing transactions, but top-performing stores in desirable markets will still fetch high valuations.Political expectations, including Donald Trump's presidency, along with lower dealership pricing and aging owners looking to sell, are fueling the market.Last week, we reported on Asbury Automotive Group acquiring New England's Herb Chambers Cos. for $1.34 billion in one of the largest deals in recent history.The 2025 Dealer Outlook Survey found that 56% of respondents are not planning to buy or sell this year, while 19% plan to buy, and 4.4% plan to sell.Automotive News tracked at least 349 buy-sell transactions in 2024, down from 382 transactions in 2021, a peak year.“I'm definitely still getting as many offerings to look at as I've gotten the past two years,” said Randy Hoffman, COO of Ed Morse Automotive Group,Ford is shaking up its media strategy by replacing its traditional press center with "Ford From the Road", a new platform designed to cater to the growing influence of content creators over mainstream media.The "From the Road" channel prioritizes videos, photos, and articles—some created by Ford, others sourced from digital creators and influencers.Traditional press releases remain available but are now tucked away in a separate tab, signaling a major shift away from legacy media formats.A Pew Research Center study found that 21% of U.S. adults regularly consume news from influencers—jumping to 37% among adults under 30.Ian Cohen, Ford's head of creative and content, explains: “We're entering this era of [consumers] building [their] own niche content and channel ecosystems.”This comes as the Trump administration is opening the White House briefing room to influencers and podcasters, with thousands of applicants to the “new media” seats.In-N-Out Burger has been named one of America's Best Large Employers, ranking No. 8 on Forbes' annual list, ahead of corporate giants like Apple and NASA. The ranking is based on employee surveys evaluating workplace satisfaction, compensation, and company culture.In-N-Out's strong workplace culture continues to set it apart in the fast-food industry.The company is also making big moves geographically, consolidating its California HQ in Baldwin Park and expanding to Tennessee, where it will open 30+ locations.Top 10 are Notre Dame, Trader Joes, Houston Methodist, NVIDIA, Navy Federal Credit Union, Google, Microsoft, In-N-Out, Delta, Raymond James FinancialAutomotive in the top 100: 86 - Bridgestone, 71 - Toyota, 86 - Holman Enterprises.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

Summary In this engaging conversation, Amas Tenumah and Bob Furniss discuss the challenges of employee engagement and satisfaction in the workplace, particularly in the context of returning from time off. They explore the importance of recognition, meaningful work, and the impact of relationships on employee well-being. The discussion also touches on insights from other industries and the need for a more personalized approach to understanding employee needs.   Takeaways Taking time off often leads to a desire to stop working altogether. Employee satisfaction is declining, particularly in service industries. Meaningful work drives engagement more than financial compensation. Recognition is a key motivator for employees. Understanding the grind of work is essential for improving engagement. Relationships in the workplace are crucial for employee success. Cultural insights from other industries can inform better practices. Time off does not necessarily recharge employees for more work. A personalized approach is needed to understand employee needs. Attention to employee well-being can prevent disengagement.

By prioritizing these connections, you can reap numerous benefits, including increased job opportunities, client referrals, and the ability to expand your network while learning from others.   According to the Department of Professional Development at Harvard University:   - **94% of employees say they are more productive when they feel connected to their colleagues.** - **Employee Satisfaction:** 96% of connected employees report being satisfied with their jobs, compared to just 60% of disconnected employees. - **Employee Retention:** 49% of connected employees expect to stay with their company for over five years, while only 34% of disconnected employees feel the same.   Driven by a passion for meaningful experiences in both personal and professional realms, Devin Sizemore has dedicated his career to building businesses that align with his values. As a business consultant, he has accomplished a range of projects, from launching his first marketing agency right out of college to creating innovative consulting practices and even a cat café. His journey is characterized by a commitment to "adding value" and making a positive impact. A firm believer in the power of connections, Devin is committed to helping others succeed through the art of relationship-building.

Why do so many companies struggle to attract and retain top talent? Is it the lack of free food, shiny perks, or unlimited vacation days? Or is the issue much deeper? As leaders, it's time to confront the uncomfortable truth: perks aren't purpose, and engagement isn't just an adrenaline shot. In today's Leadership Spark, we'll unpack why many organizations are stuck on the “hedonic treadmill,” cycling through perks and benefits to boost short-term satisfaction but failing to create a lasting impact. I explore how outdated workplace practices, bureaucracy, and lack of purpose disengage employees over time—and why leaders must shift their focus from free lunches to fostering growth, meaning, and leadership.   ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

Empathy and strategy can be a powerful combination in leadership and in planning for a new year to work together to create an environment that is both people-focused and goal-oriented.

This is more important than ever with a workforce that has been given freedom to work remotely with a great deal of trust. When paired with strategic thinking and planning, this understanding enables leaders to design plans that not only achieve organizational goals but also align with the needs and well-being of their team.

The leaked *MrBeast* employee manual, which surfaced in September 2024, provides insights into the operations and production philosophy behind one of YouTube's largest channels. The 36-page document, intended as an internal onboarding guide, outlines the high expectations MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) has for his team. It stresses a results-driven culture, where employees are judged on their output rather than the hours worked. The document categorizes employees into “A-Players,” who are the best at what they do, and warns against keeping “C-Players,” who are seen as detrimental to the team's performance. This leak has come at a time when MrBeast faces various controversies, adding more fuel to ongoing debates about his work culture.The A, B, and C player section of MrBeast's leaked employee manual has sparked debate. It categorizes employees based on their performance: A-players are high-performing, coachable, and obsessed with their work, while B-players are trainable. However, C-players are deemed "poisonous" and should be removed from the company immediately. This has led to mixed reactions, with some praising the focus on excellence, while others criticize the potential harshness and pressure this framework imposes on employees.https://simonwillison.net/2024/Sep/15/how-to-succeed-in-mrbeast-production/ Here's a good run down of all the reasons to NOT like MrBeast:https://youtu.be/Ag2VjgrF6QA?si=IWI006zOcYo87Khf Youtube Episode by Rosanna Pansino: https://youtu.be/U2aYO4c3AKw?si=RIfIkiHcbpvPTwAN Safe to say she is NOT a Mr Beast fan… --------- EPISODE CHAPTERS ---------(0:00:04) - MrBeast Production Analysis(0:10:59) - Celebrating Mediocrity and High Performance(0:21:50) - Encouraging Growth and Communication in Production(0:26:47) - Effective Communication in Production(0:35:41) - Entrepreneurial Responsibilities and Communication(0:42:43) - Critical Aspects and Creativity in Production(0:57:43) - Accountability and Learning From Mistakes(1:02:32) - Effective Communication in Production(1:11:03) - Analyzing Criticism of MrBeast(1:18:51) - Lessons Learned Through ExperienceSend us a text

Our guest on this week's episode is Kevin Ledversis, vice president of sales at Newcastle Systems. Labor continues to be in short supply, which means that it is important for distributors and warehouse operators to hold on to the labor that they do have by keeping warehouse employees engaged and happy. Our guest shares ways to foster an environment of employee contentment.Mexico recently passed China to become the U.S.'s largest trading partner. We've seen Mexico rise very quickly in the business landscape due to tariffs on imports from China to the U.S. as well as global disruptions, such as the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. As a result, there has been a swift shift toward Mexico as a new manufacturing hub. To move all the freight now being generated south of the border, there has been a rush from leading logistics  companies to build supply chain links between the U.S. and Mexico. The adoption of generative artificial intelligence—or GenAI—for sourcing and procurement is gaining steam, and recent research from Gartner shows that its mainstream application may be just two years away. Gartner said this week that GenAI for procurement is at the “peak of inflated expectations.” Essentially, the data show that use cases are growing and AI capabilities are improving, making GenAI for sourcing and procurement a fast-moving technology within supply chains.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.  Go to your favorite podcast platform to subscribe and to listen to past and future episodes.Articles and resources mentioned in this episode:Newcastle SystemsUPS to buy Mexican express delivery firmTCA names for-hire carrier as its first Mexican memberSchneider says intermodal deal with CPKC eases US-Mexico freight surgeGenerative AI for procurement moves beyond hypeGet episode transcriptsVisit Supply Chain XchangeListen to CSCMP and Supply Chain Xchange's Supply Chain in the Fast Lane podcastSend feedback about this podcast to podcast@agilebme.comPodcast is sponsored by: Storage SolutionsOther linksAbout DC VELOCITYSubscribe to DC VELOCITYSign up for our FREE newslettersAdvertise with DC VELOCITYTop 10 Supply Chain Management Podcasts
