Podcasts about why work sucks

What if your work schedule was defined by trust and productivity, not the time you spend at your desk? Imagine how this could affect your search for true job satisfaction.  We invited Strategic Talent Executive Cali Ressler to discuss the concept of a results-only work environment and the current distrust and misconception surrounding job crafting. Cali shares insights on the post-pandemic workforce, highlighting the importance of adapting to employees' changing needs and the challenges that HR leaders face.  But she also touches upon her personal HR journey, calling it unexpected, fulfilling, and unending. Here, Cali opens up about her mental health journey and the significance of self-care.  This episode serves as a reminder that everyone has hidden struggles, regardless of their external successes.   Resources: For the entire interview, subscribe to HR Superstars on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube, Or tune in on our website.

Greetings and welcome back to The DNA of Purpose Podcast, the place where we empower you to build trust, champion adaptability, and cultivate the courage to unleash your unique DNA of Purpose. Here, we provide the insights, tools, and mindset shifts essential for sparking conversations, leading teams, rallying communities, and influencing cultural shifts to steer humanity towards the innovative solutions shaping our future today. The world of work is undergoing a transformation like never before. With leaders focusing on the intersection of AI, ESG (Environmental and Social Governance), and Diversity and Inclusion, we find ourselves in one of the most progressive eras in history. This shift has left traditional norms and processes struggling to keep up with the pace of change. The question has moved beyond what it means to be human in the reflection of technology: The focus is now on what it means to be human when we are evolving at breakneck speed. How does this inform how we, as leaders, should curate an employee's experience of work? What's abundantly clear to me is that business as usual will no longer suffice. The familiar systems, processes, and procedures we've cherished are no longer fit for purpose. And that is  why today, I wanted to feature a guest who has birthed these innovative out of the box solutions - and a person who has driven revolutionary ideas that have redefined employee experience, talent management, and workplace performance. Cali Ressler is an American author and consultant who has left an indelible mark on the world of work with her pioneering ideas in workplace flexibility and performance management. Today, she is a Director of Global Employee Experience for Accenture, and she is one of the co-founders of the groundbreaking Results-Only Work Environment (ROWE) concept, which challenges the traditional norms of evaluating employees based on the number of hours worked and instead places a sharp focus on performance and results. Cali co-authored the influential book "Why Work Sucks and How to Fix It," outlining the principles of ROWE and how it can revolutionize organizations, leading to improved productivity and enhanced employee satisfaction. Her body of work aligns perfectly with the changing landscape of work, echoing the themes of organizational change, business purpose, and innovative work models that we explore on this podcast. As a testament to her influence, Cali was honored by Dan Pink in his book "Drive" as one of the six individuals who truly "get it," standing shoulder-to-shoulder with luminaries such as Peter Drucker, Jim Collins, and Gary Hamel. This recognition underscores the profound impact of her work on reshaping the future of work. And so without any delay, please welcome Cali to The DNA Of Purpose Podcast.  https://www.linkedin.com/in/caliressler/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is Your Work-Life Balance More Work Than Life?

https://youtu.be/sFgzWiUfkXY Enrique Alvarez is the Co-Founder and Managing Director at Vector Global Logistics, which is dedicated to changing the world through the supply chain. We discuss the benefits of having financial transparency in an organization, how the self-managing "sell-cells" at Vector work, and the secrets of great results in an organization.  --- Groom Self-Managing ”Sell-Cells” With Enrique Alvarez My guest is Enrique Alvarez, the Managing Director of Vector Global Logistics, a Fortune 5,000 company. Vector provides world-class logistics services to make partners and clients more successful. About bettering the lives of everyone who come in contact with them. Enrique, welcome to the show. Steve, thank you very much for having me. This is exciting. I look forward to our conversation. Thank you. It is an exciting conversation. Your background is pretty crazy. How in the world does a Mexican engineer end up at Wharton Business School and then launch global logistics business? A short answer to that question is that I was fortunate enough to be born into an amazing family. My parents took good care of us. One of their main things was their education. For the most part, in many other stories out there, it's luck that I was born into that family. There are many millions of people that don't have the privilege that I've had, so I have to be very thankful and acknowledge the fact that, of course, I did work hard throughout the way. I had great mentors. I had great teachers. I had a great family and an amazing wife that supported me. At the end of the day, it's a team effort, mostly, I was lucky, and that's why I feel so passionately about giving back. I feel responsible for giving back to people that might not have been as lucky as I happen. It's very interesting. I was at a conference, and a friend of mine, projected a personality test, and we had this conversation afterward. I asked him, “How much of the result of these tests is nurture versus nature?” He said, “You personally get logged in that there's this dispute about that when it's at the age of 8 or 12 but it's very early in life. I'm wondering how you describe your family, the support, the mentors, the coaches, whether this is what also prompted you to this background or this nurture to focus on culture. Vector is a very culture-driven company. In our pre-talk, you came up with a framework, which maybe we can call the Vector Culture Model, to create a simultaneously purpose-driven, as results-based culture. I'm very curious about how does the Vector Culture Model work? How did it came come about and how does it work, and why does it work? This was a very collaborative effort. I don't think that it was me that came up with it. I have a good business partner, Brian Oxley, with whom I work for the Boston Consulting Group before starting this company. As we were hiring new employees, the 1st one, the 2nd, we all came together, and this whole thing made sense. I will tell you what it is, and then I will explain a little bit more about what I'm trying to say. The culture is very simple and straightforward. We are measuring performance by results and results only. This is based on a book called Why Work Sucks. That I strongly recommend people to read it, and at the end of the day, it says that you take the time and space component out of the equation, and you measure performance by results and very simple key performance indicators that make the most sense and make the companies thrive. You focus on those things. You don't care if people come here at 8:00 in the morning. You don't care if they have one-hour lunchtime. You don't care if they go at 5:00. At the end of the day, all of those things don't make sense. The only thing that matters is that people are empowered, self-sufficient, and proactive and that the results are there. For example, someone on our team loves to play the guitar. They take guitar lessons throughout the day.

This episode we are joined by Julia Becker Collins who is the Chief Operating Officer at Vision Marketing, a female led, full-service marketing agency founded in 1999. On this episode the focus is on leadership and the challenges of leading a team during the age of pivot fatigue. Through the ups and downs during the pandemic, leaders and their teams have had to be nimble, supportive and dedicated. Our guest Julia Becker Collins lived this firsthand. Part of her success was due to her ability to lead, but the secret sauce, was having a dynamic team that she could count on, especially when Julia discovered she had cancer. On the show, you’ll hear how Julia was able to inspire and lead her team, despite the uncertainty in the world and the status of her health.  Heather, our host, shares her thoughts on leadership and building teams. She examines the books How to Be a Great Boss and Why Work Sucks and How to Fix It and discusses the similarities between the two and the qualities needed for nurturing the right team.

"People don't want flexibility. they want complete control over their time." Today, we keep hearing that flexible work is the way to go. People want it. They crave it.  Yet in today's episode of We're Only Human, Ben talks with Jody Thompson, creator of the ROWE movement. ROWE stands for "results only work environment," and it has been around for some time (the first book, Why Work Sucks, was published in 2008).  Today the workplace looks different than it did then, but according to Thompson, employers are still chasing the wrong things. We're looking at when work gets done and where work gets done, but we're not focusing enough on the what in terms of results.  That lack of focus on the right things sometimes forces our people to fight for control over their work. How? By looking for workarounds, playing the "I'm busy" game, arriving early or staying late, and more. Instead of looking at managers as controlling figures, we should look at them as performance coaches. Expect to explore all of this and more in today's conversation. Enjoy!

In 2010, Cali Ressler and Jody Thompson released their first book Why Work Sucks and How to Fix It, based on their experience leading a "Results Only Work Environment" (ROWE) while they were at Best Buy. In a results-only workplace, employees can do whatever they want whenever they want, as long as the work gets done. No more pointless meetings, racing to get in at 9:00, or begging for permission to watch your kid play soccer. You make the decisions about what you do and where you do it. It sounds great, doesn't it? But if you are a manager, how do you make sure that work is actually getting done? In their second book, Why Managing Sucks and How to Fix it, Cali and Jody tell many stories from companies who have instituted ROWE environments. They provide guidance to managers who are ready to embrace the workplace of the future. In this 30-minute interview, Pam and Jody discuss the book, and the revolutionary movement to give employees control of their lives back, while creating a productive and dynamic work culture.

Jody Thompson, along with her partner Cali Ressler, is the Fouder of CultureRx and co-creator of the Results-Only Work Environment (ROWE). Her first book, Why Work Sucks and How to Fix It, was named “The Year’s Best Book on Work-Life Balance” by Business Week. She has been featured on the covers of BusinessWeek, Workforce Management Magazine, HR Magazine, Hybrid Mom Magazine, and HR Executive Magazine as well as in the New York Times, TIME Magazine, USA Today, and on Good Morning America, CNBC, MSNBC, and CNN.
