In Matthew 9:35–38, Jesus is not celebrating the labor movement.  Rather, He is making a sobering declaration about the scarcity and inadequacy of qualified workers in the Kingdom His presence had ushered in.  The rule and reign of God were not merely imminent; they were immediate, because the Son of God was present among us.  The eternal Word of God had become flesh and was dwelling with His people.  Yet His mission to the downcast, the downtrodden, and the disinherited appeared imperiled by a shortage of laborers.  This message examines that shortage and explores its implications for the church today.

Welcome to Manufacturing Greatness with Trevor Blondeel, where we work with organizations to manufacture greatness by leveraging resources you already have to achieve greater retention, productivity, and profits. To learn more, visit www.manufacturinggreatness.com and click here to subscribe to Trevor's monthly newsletter. Now, let's jump in! What if the biggest threat to your production efficiency, workforce development, and manufacturing productivity was not a supply chain disruption or a failed kaizen event — but the voice inside your own head? On this episode of Manufacturing Greatness, learn more with Dr. Jenn Donahue, a retired U.S. Navy Captain with 27 years of military service, combat veteran, civil engineer, and one of only 3% of Navy officers to ever reach her rank. She holds a doctorate from UC Berkeley, has been inducted into the National Academy of Engineering, and is the author of Becoming the Warrior. Jenn brings her hard-won leadership experience to the shop floor, connecting the mental battles fought in combat zones directly to the self-doubt that holds back frontline supervisors, shift supervisors, and plant leadership teams every day. We cover practical tools for performance management, communication skills, and leadership development — including why the voice in your head might be the real reason your toughest conversations keep getting pushed to tomorrow. If you're serious about change management, talent retention, and building a stronger safety culture and operations management system, this episode is your starting point. 1:00 — Promoting top performers into leadership roles often creates a confidence problem, not a skills problem. 01:30 — Self-doubt shows up even in the most high-pressure environments, and recognizing it is the first step toward stronger leadership development. 03:00 — Several competing internal voices influence decision making every day, and building self-awareness around them is critical for frontline supervisors and plant leadership teams. 04:30 — The Mean Little Voice quietly erodes confidence by convincing leaders they are not worthy of their position, undermining performance management and talent retention. 05:00 — The Sneaky Little Bastard redirects leaders away from difficult conversations and hard decisions, creating real gaps in accountability, communication skills, and production efficiency. 08:30 — Instinct and intuition are distinct forces in leadership decision making, and understanding the difference helps leaders assess whether hesitation is rational or just self-preservation. 10:30 — A simple gut-check question — am I being rational, or am I being selfish — can help manufacturing leaders cut through avoidance and act in the best interest of their operation. 14:30 — The four-step Perceive, Assess, Ready, Act framework gives leaders a practical tool for working through self-doubt and taking confident action under pressure. 22:00 — Humility and imposter syndrome are not the same thing, and confusing the two causes leaders to discount the experience and results they have already earned. 29:00 — Recalling past wins, people developed, and problems solved is one of the most powerful ways to build the positive bias that drives confident leadership on the shop floor.

I've spent decades in the industry, building, scaling, and coaching restaurants to become more profitable and sustainable. On this show, I cut through the noise to give you real, actionable strategies that help independent restaurant owners run smarter, more successful businesses.In this episode, I break down why the old-school mentality of treating your team like “family” is actually holding you back. Look, I love my people, but a real family won't fire you for showing up late. A restaurant, on the other hand? It's a business. And if we want to build sustainable, profitable businesses, we need to stop running our teams on emotions and start leading with clarity, accountability, and mutual investment. I'll walk you through the leadership shifts that changed everything for me—how setting clear expectations, constantly recruiting, and focusing on performance over sentiment will transform your restaurant from a revolving door into a powerhouse of talent. If you're tired of losing good people and constantly hiring, this one's for you.Takeaways80% of restaurants barely break even.If you can't keep people, the problem might not be them.Great restaurants aren't a family. They're a high-performance team.A players do not elevate the performance of B and C players.People don't leave places that invest in them.We need to be recruiting all the time, not just when we're desperate.Set clear expectations from day one.Externalize the rules and accountability.Lead from the front and invest in your team's goals.Build relationships with potential hires before you need them.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Restaurant Profitability Challenges02:15 The Leadership Problem in Restaurants03:44 Building a High-Performance Team06:40 Mutual Investment in Employee Growth09:34 The Importance of Constant RecruitmentIf you've got a marketing or profitability related question for me, email me directly at josh@joshkopel.com and include Office Hours in the subject line.

During World War I, Americans were asked to make do with less. One thing in short supply was labor. The war hit farmers especially hard. They were being asked to grow more food while facing a labor shortage. Agriculture was crucial to the war effort, so many farm workers were exempt from the draft. But that didn't stop eager volunteers from leaving the farm to join the military or work in factories producing goods for the war.

We're talking about the job market and the job search for 2025 – a forecast, coupled with some how-to's.  These seem to be universally accepted as the expectations for the 2025 job market: Cooling Down: The job market is cooling down from the post-pandemic boom. Hiring has slowed, and competition for jobs is increasing. Low rate of voluntary quits continues, but there is the possibility that it will shift back to a job seeker's market in 2025.  Resilience: Despite the slowdown, unemployment remains low, and the economy is still relatively strong. Labor Shortages: Several industries continue to face labor shortages, particularly in low-wage and in-person roles. ·       Diverse Strategies to Address the Labor Shortage: -40% of managers plan to engage contract professionals to fill skills gaps -39% will work with a managed services provider for critical initiatives and functions. -Contract professionals -Project consultants - Managed services providers Skills Focus: The demand for skills like technology, data analysis, and healthcare will continue to grow. ·       Demand for Soft Skills: As the job market shifts, there has been a greater importance placed on soft skills. Soft skills are becoming more sought after, since 79% of leaders believe the longevity of technical skills is limited to five years or less.  ·      AI Impact: Artificial intelligence is increasingly impacting the job market, automating some tasks while creating new roles that require skills in AI and related fields. AI also changes the skills employers need, shifting demand from repetitive tasks to critical thinking and technical expertise. Focus on Upskilling and Reskilling: Workers will need to continually upgrade their skills to remain competitive in the changing job market. ·      Increased Salary Transparency: Pay transparency in job postings has more than doubled since 2020. According to Indeed Hiring Lab, more than 40% of US job postings now include employer-provided salary information. In 2025, even more job postings will list the salary range to attract qualified talent.  ·      Remote Work: Remote work options will likely continue to evolve, with many companies adopting hybrid models. According to HR Executive, 33% of U.S. employers required full-time in-office work in 2024. This number is expected to increase, but not exceed, 50% in 2025. Increased Focus on Employee Well-Being: Companies are increasingly prioritizing employee well-being, offering benefits like flexible work arrangements and mental health support. ·      Skills Over Degrees: Employers are increasingly shifting their focus from traditional credentials, like degrees, to skills-based hiring. This shift allows for a more diverse talent pool and gives candidates without degrees a chance to prove their capabilities through relevant skills.  The rise of certifications and nontraditional educational pathways has significantly influenced this shift.   What all of this means for your job search in 2025: Develop in-demand skills: Identify and develop skills that are highly sought after by employers. Invest in certifications and training from reputable organizations.  Network: Build and maintain strong professional relationships. Customize your resume and cover letter: Tailor your application materials to each specific job. Prepare for interviews: Practice your interviewing skills and research potential employers. ·      Stay Informed: Follow economic and industry updates. Staying informed enables you to anticipate changes rather than react to them. Focusing on trends in your specific industry can also help you identify skill gaps and align your expertise with future demands. This is especially important if you have been out of work for a while.  ·      Wage Expectations: Generally, wages haven't kept up with inflation. Do your homework and set reasonable expectations for compensation.  Expect a Poor Candidate Experience: -Ghosting: Companies often fail to communicate with applicants throughout the process, leaving them feeling undervalued and frustrated.  -Lengthy Processes: Time-consuming applications and multiple rounds of interviews can deter qualified candidates.  ·      Don't Take on Your Job Search in 2025 AloneMarketing Documents – Skills - Mindset My sources for this episode: Bureau of Labor Statistics, Meritamerica.com, insightglobal.com, roberthalf.com  Are you in the wrong job that chips away at you every day?

In this episode of Work in Progress, Joshua Wright, EVP of Growth for Lightcast, discusses The Rising Storm, the labor research group's forecast of a massive labor shortage over the next eight years and how we can fix the problem before it hurts the economy. According the Lightcast report, the workforce will face a labor shortage of six million workers between now and 2032, the largest shortage in our country's history. Wright says the it is being driven by the retirement of the baby boomer generation, declining birth rates, and reduced participation in the prime-age workforce. But, he adds, while there is no silver bullet, there are ways we can solve the problem by acting now. It comes down, Wright says, to taking a closer look at the way we educate and train people for the workforce. "I think fundamentally this is an opportunity. It is a challenge, but it's also an opportunity to restructure and rethink the systems that were developed. We're already seeing states do this, creating new workforce and education offices, or putting those two together and thinking of, 'How do we transform our education and workforce systems?'" He goes into details on those solutions for developing more workforce programs to upskill and retain existing workers. Wright says employers play a key role in this strategy, as do the education institutions and local and state governments. In the podcast, Wright also explains how technology can help speed up these solutions and he addresses the role immigration has always played, and should continue to play, in our labor force.
