Notable Quotes: "Most bad managers didn't wake up thinking, ‘I'm going to be terrible.' They just don't know what they don't know." – Deb Laurel "A lot of businesses drop the ball with communication, whether it's systems changes or management issues. Most problems can be solved with just a little clear, timely communication." – Vance Morris "It's not about whether employees need to suck it up or not; it's about leaders learning to adapt their style to get the best results from their team." – Deb Laurel Resources Mentioned: Big Five Personality Traits: A spectrum-based assessment used by Deb in her training Management Institute at the University of Wisconsin Madison Connect with Deb Laurel: Website: LaurelAndAssociates.com Email: Available through the website If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe to the Systematic Magic Podcast so you never miss an episode.

Sonja Keeve and I both hold executive MBA degrees from Jack Welch's Management Institute.  We met during one of the JWMI's networking events and realized that our journeys from employee to entrepreneurship, despite being different, also have many similarities. We decided to talk about that and share those experiences in the form of a podcast episode. Three questions guide our conversation:1) How did you start your business? 2) As you transitioned from the corporate to the entrepreneurial world what was the hardest part to deal with, and what was the most fun? 3) Along with that, what type of mindset shifts do you have to make going from employee to business owner, and maybe what type of habits/ skills you developed in corporate helped you in your business? And we talk about so much more. This is an episode you don't want to miss.

Marty Balkema, co-founder of Augusto, shares his theory behind building a client roster and positive reputation by banking on trust and hiring great people. In this episode of the Augusto Digital Insights podcast, Brian Anderson interviews Marty Balkema—a 20-year software development veteran and the COO and co-founder of Augusto. As a leader on the executive team, Marty has been instrumental in helping to shape the company's operations and culture. This is one part of a series focused on the people and relationships that guide Augusto's vision for the future. Marty and Brian first met when Marty was in Grand Rapids, Michigan, working for a company called Rapidparts—a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift Association (MCFA). Marty was responsible for the development of their Lift Truck Solutions platform, and he hired Brian's team at the time to help. Because of the way Brian handled the unintentional budget overage on that original project, the two men maintained a long relationship—and, eventually, friendship. Marty shares about his unique educational experience at what was then called GMI Engineering and Management Institute (now Kettering University). As a fully cooperative school, the pattern of education was that students worked for 12 weeks in the field then attended school for 12 weeks. He quickly began to love solving problems around technology. When Brian was considering starting a consulting business, Marty's family was looking for an opportunity that would allow them the freedom to live wherever they wanted. That paired with the opportunity to consult on software development led Marty to jump on board. Marty shares how they built a client roster and positive reputation by banking on trust and by performing solid jobs. He also talks about the importance of hiring great people who want to pursue client wins—then setting them free to do their jobs. As part of his job, Marty creates a culture and environment at Augusto that sets talented people up to thrive. We thank Marty for his time on the Augusto Digital Podcast and for the way he creates a team of amazing workers!

Six months after our first conversation in episode 78, editor Sara-Jayne Slack and author Dorothy A. Winsor discuss Inspired Quill’s 10th anniversary and their latest release in the Tales of Rinland series, THE TRICKSTER. We chat about life during the pandemic, the advantages of in-person events vs online book promotion, the dos and don’ts of talking about publishing in an open forum, choosing an ideal cover for a story, ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE (that one’s mostly just me), and so much more. Sara-Jayne is a social entrepreneur, public speaker, SEO nerd and lover of all things stationery-related.

Her novels include Finders Keepers (Zharmae, 2015), Deep as a Tomb (Loose Leave Publishing, 2016), The Wind Reader (Inspired Quill, 2018), and The Wysman (June, 2020). At one time, Winsor taught technical writing at Iowa State University and GMI Engineering and Management Institute (now Kettering). She then discovered that writing fiction is much more fun and has never looked back. She lives in Chicagoland.

Deanna Gillingham transitioned to case management as a nurse after an injury that prevented her from doing any heavy lifting. Like most nurses she wanted to be good at her job and wanted to take the certification exam to prove it. The problem was, she only had the blueprint or the exam, but nothing to actually study from. There weren’t any good books out there that could help her to pass the exam. Deanna took extensive notes over the course of a year on all the research she did to study for the exam. As she said, “No one should ever have to do that!”. Ultimately and inadvertently, Deanna wrote the exam guide for case managers. Turns out lots of other case manager nurses needed this book too, so sales skyrocketed almost immediately. Her accidental foray into entrepreneurialism grew into online courses, training programs, and a Facebook group of over 14,000 nurses. Ultimately, the entire business allowed Deanna to pursue her dream of living on the Mexican Riveria on the Caribbean coast. Talk about solving a great problem!

Tässä #yzcast -podcastin jaksossa projektipäälliköt Hilkka Heikkilä ja Mirva Leppälä JAMK:lta keskustelevat yhdessä dosentti Pirkko-Liisa Vesterisen kanssa nuorten johtamisesta. Pirkko-Liisa Vesterinen on toiminut pitkään johdon ja työyhteisöjen valmentaja Management Institute of Finlandissa (MIF). Pirkko-Liisa on toiminut myös lehtorina AMK:ssa sekä kunnanjohtajana. Koulutukseltaan hän on kasvatustieteen tohtori. Hänen osaamisalueeseensa kuuluvat muun muassa johtamisen ja työyhteisöjen monipuolinen kehittäminen. Pirkko-Liisa on kirjoittanut mm. vuonna 2011 ilmestyneen Y-sukupolvi työ(elämä)ssä -kirjan. Nuorilla on erilaiset pelisäännöt, jotka voivat näyttäytyä hyvinkin erilaisina toimintatapoina yllättäin – esimerkiksi työvuoron peruminen viime hetkessä tai joustavuuden tarpeella monissa eri kohdin. Muutos on kuitenkin todellinen ja johtamisen täytyy siihen reagoida. Nuorten erilaisuus selittyy samalla tavoin kuin muidenkin sukupolvissa olevat ominaispiirteet, sillä jokainen sukupolvi on oman aikansa tuote ja siihen vaikuttaa isosti ympäristö. Nuoremmat sukupolvet ovat tottuneet digitaalisten välineiden ja kanavien käyttäjiä, he ovat myös tottuneet saamaan palautetta ja toimimaan ryhmässä jo nuoresta pitäen. Lisäksi he ovat tottuneita kaiken – niin työelämän kuin vapaa-ajan – jatkuvaan muuttumiseen eikä takeita esimerkiksi pysyvistä työpaikoista ole. Samoin heillä on lähtökohtaisesti ollut monenlaisia valinnan mahdollisuuksia. Nuoremmilla raha ei useinkaan ole merkityksellisyyttä työhön tuova tekijä. Digitaalista muutosta ja sen vaikutusta voidaan verrata jopa ilmastonmuutokseen, niin isosta asiasta on kyse. Vesterinen on perehtynyt aiheeseen myös aivotoiminnan muutoksen näkökulmasta. Digitaalisuuteen tottunut yksilö tarvitsee paljon aistiärsykkeitä ja on usein lyhytjänteinen. Tämän lisäksi kaivataan paljon palautetta, mutta toisaalta löytyy kykyä käsitellä tehokkaasti tietoa. Jossain määrin huolestuttavaa voi olla se, että digitaalisuuteen tottuneella on usein alhainen empatiakyky. Empatiakyky on oleellinen taito työyhteisössä, jolloin esimiehen tai johtajan rooli voisikin muuntautua enemmän vuorovaikutusta edistäväksi. Pelillistäminen toimii heidän kanssaan hyvin, joten sen hyödyntäminen tärkeä huomioida, kun mietitään nuorten sukupolvien kanssa työskennellessä. Digitaalisuuteen tottuneilla persoonallisuus jää toisinaan pinnallisemmaksi, kun se ei pääse kehittymään näytön kautta toimiessa. Osa piirteistä liittyy ylipäätään digitaaliseen kehitykseen eikä välttämättä ole sukupolvisidonnainen asia. Olennaista nuorten sukupolvien johtamisessa on vuorovaikutus – toisten ymmärtäminen. Jokainen sukupolvi on omalla tavallaan edellistä parempi. Nuoremmat sukupolvet ovat oppineet ryhmätyöskentelyyn ja projektimainen työskentely on heille myös ominaista ja he kaipaavat jatkuvaa vuorovaikutteisuutta. Työhaastattelutilanteessa roolit voivat kääntyä jopa toisin päin, kun nuoremmat sukupolvet alkavat haastatella potentiaalista työnantajaa. Joustava toiminta ja tekniikan käyttö ovat äärettömän sujuvaa, joka nopeuttaa monia asioita. Nuoret ovat myös oppineet arvioimaan toisiansa, jota olisi hyvä hyödyntää myös työyhteisössä. Etenkin lähiesimiesten päätehtävä on juuri henkilöstöjohtaminen. Tärkeä kysyä yksilöiltä itseään, opetella käyttämään uusia viestintävälineitä, aikaa varata kuunteluun ja ideoista keskusteluun. Edistää yhteistyötä ja kannustaa innovaatioihin ja antaa tilaa muille. Lisäksi tärkeä säilyttää avoimuus ottaa vastaan mielipiteitä, keskustella tavoitteista ja tarpeista ja ottaa jokainen vakavasti. Yksi hyvä avaava kysymys myös merkityksellisyyden sanoittamisessa on ”Miksi minä olen työyhteisössäni tärkeä”. Teksti: Mirva Leppälä Pohdinnat liittyvät YZ-sukupolvi vie työyhteisön uudelle tasolle -projektiin, jota JAMK hallinnoi ja joka toimii Keski-Suomessa 1.10.2018–31.12.2020.

We will discuss how trust, creativity and collaboration helped our guest get to where she is today. Our Guest was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. Graduating in the bottom third of her high school class.  As early as her mid-teens, she had a passion for fashion, modeling, and beauty. As her love of learning grew stronger after attending Baldwin-Wallace College and earning her BA in Chemistry, she applied and was accepted to one of the top schools in the Midwest, Case Western Reserve University.  There she not only excelled in academics, but she was awarded “Excellence in Graduate Student Teaching” for five consecutive years.Our guest later went on to earn a Master’s degree and a Ph.D. in Chemistry and accepted an Assistant Professor position at GMI Engineering and Management Institute in Flint, Michigan. With that burning desire of fashion, modeling, and beauty still in her heart she was able to realign herself, after years of research in skin chemistry, with her passion in the industry of beauty enhancement. She opened her first Spa in Beachwood, Ohio, 15 years ago. Using beauty enhancement services, her goal is to help people feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside. By continuing to serve others while successfully battling cancer, she believed that she could show there was nothing that you couldn’t overcome!  She opened her second Spa in Tampa, Florida, in 2011, called Spa Cafe International. Warm, approachable and down to earth Our guests love for people and their transformation shines through as she spends time one-on-one with her clients and friends.  The drive and passion for her work at Spa Cafe International fuels an exuberant, sparkling personality with a golden touch. 

Grade inflation often seems like a trivial offense, a somewhat victimless crime. However, evidence suggests the exact opposite, that the practice undermines students, corrodes institutions, and perpetuates privilege. Amy and Mike invited researcher and professor Seth Gershenson Ph.D to enumerate the many reasons why grade inflation is harmful.  What are five things you will learn in this episode? What are the three different types of grade inflation and how do they manifest? How does grade inflation hurt students? How does grade inflation hurt institutions? How does grade inflation impede equity? What policies might address or improve this situation? MEET OUR GUEST Seth Gershenson is Associate Professor of Public Policy in the School of Public Affairs (SPA) at American University. He is also Research Fellow at the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA), Senior Technical Advisor to Institute for Education Policy at Johns Hopkins, and Coordinator of SPA’s Analytics and Management Institute. Professor Gershenson works broadly in the economics of education and education policy, with specific interests in teacher labor markets, summer learning loss, student absences, community-wide shocks, teacher expectations and implicit bias, and the causes and consequences of the underrepresentation of teachers of color.  Seth’s research has been funded by the Spencer Foundation, the American Educational Research Association, W.E. Upjohn Institute, Association for Institutional Research, and Google; published in leading education-policy academic journals; and featured in media outlets such as USA Today, The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, NPR, The Washington Post, Huffington Post, Vox, NBC News, and The Atlantic. Professor Gershenson received his Ph.D. in Economics from Michigan State University in 2011. You can learn more about Professor Gershenson’s research here.

Each week on Making a Difference, our host Mike White talks to experts in the media industry. Today, Mike talks to Drew McLellan from the Agency Management Institute. Agency Management Institute or "AMI" is a consultancy/educational organization designed to help independent agency owners run/grow their agency in a more profitable, stable way. To learn more, visit https://agencymanagementinstitute.comSo tell us about the agency Management Institute and what services you provide your customers.So Agency Management Institute or AMI basically accepts the reality that for most agency owners, they're accidental business owners. They were great and are great at the client facing stuff, but a lot of times running the business part of their business is not what they went to school for, it's not what they studied as they were coming up in their career. Somehow they ended up owning an agency. We help them run the business. We teach them agency math, the metrics that matter to making a profitable agency. Helping them figure out how to hire, when to hire, who to hire, those sort of things. We teach a lot of workshops around subjects like how to write proposals that get purchased, those kind of things.Are there certain non-profits that stands out, that you really enjoy getting involved with and understand and appreciate the values they deliver to the community?Yes. So I am a firm believer that we should support the communities that we live in that we have a responsibility and an obligation to give back and to use our time and talents and treasures when it comes to money to help our communities be better places. We have a program called Adopt a Charity where we literally have charities apply every year and then we adopt them as a client for a full year so they get about one hundred thousand dollars of free agency services and then at the end of the year like a baby bird we sort of send them out of the nest so we can get the new baby bird. So a lot of those charities have become sort of close to our heart because we spent time with them one of them is a charity called YESS, or Youth Emergency Shelter Services, and they take kids in who are at risk. They might be homeless, they might be in an abusive situation at home, they might be just having conflict with their parents and need a break from each other. Sometimes it's court appointed but it's a safe place for these kids to live and go to school and go to counseling and help them get back on their feet.When agencies come to you, what are three things that causes them to fail at first that you've seen with your experience.I'm going to say this is not a first year thing. I think there are many agencies that have been around for 20 years that still struggle with working super hard, but can't seem to be profitable on a consistent basis. One of the metrics that we recommend is that every agency should be able to make 20 percent net profit. Alot of agencies will say, well I've never even gotten close to that. So part of that is they don't understand how to look at their PNL now from an agency lens and see what it tells them about how they're running their business. Number two probably the most violated metric of all agency metrics are that an agency should have a hundred and fifty thousand dollars of AGI per full time person. Most agencies are overstaffed which is exactly why they're not profitable. And the third thing is most agencies rely on referrals as opposed to having an actual new business program that they are executing every single day to make sure that the sales funnel stays you know fat and happy and fed. I think one of the things that we're seeing is clients are taking a longer time or prospects or taking a longer time to say yes and an even longer time to sign the contract or the scope of work. So you're just gonna to have more at bats so that you are constantly winning enough business to feed the family.

​Vernon Interviews Marilyn, Retired Manager of CDS Consulting. Vernon and Marilyn discuss best practices for forming co-ops, CoMetrics, the Co-op Management Institute, her experience as a cooperator, and her upcoming induction into the Cooperative Hall of Fame. Marilyn Scholl has played a prominent leadership role in nearly every major development in the U.S. food co-op sector since she took her first co-op job at Gordon Park Cooperative in Milwaukee in 1978. Working at the University of Wisconsin Center for Cooperatives, Scholl organized education programs and conferences for co-ops. Focusing on the challenges of business sustainability, membership care and strategic planning, Scholl helped create the Cooperative Management Institute. She later led a food co-op consulting team that became CDS Consulting Co-op, a group of 38 people dedicated to helping co-ops reach their full potential. Seeing the need for systematic governance at food co-ops, Scholl and her CDS CC colleagues developed the Cooperative Board Leadership Development program to provide ongoing support for effective governance and built the 4 Pillars of Cooperative Governance model. With the help of National Cooperative Bank and the National Co+op Grocers, Scholl's team created a small grants program for start-ups that became Food Co-op Initiative, a non-profit supporting the opening of more than 130 new food co-ops. She was one of the creators of the food co-op development model 4 Cornerstones in 3 Stages. In 2004, Scholl led the project team that developed the reorganization plan for the National Cooperative Grocers Association. Today National Co+op Grocers represents 148 co-ops operating more than 200 stores in 37 states. Recently retired as manager of CDS Consulting Cooperative, Scholl continues to be a member and consultant at CDS CC; she also serves on the boards of Cooperative Fund of New England and Food Co-op Initiative.
