Babbitt 07:23 Mark's Military Background and Family Legacy 12:51 The Importance of Respect and Discipline 20:51 Navigating Political and Social Chaos 25:36 Finding Peace and Gratitude   Bio Culture architect. Executive and career coach. Blogger and speaker. Co-author of Good Comes First and A World Gone Social. An employee mass exodus is taking place – right in front of our eyes. And it isn't because of a so-called labor shortage. Instead, we have a RESPECT shortage – and we have far too many workplace cultures that suck. As business leaders are now (finally) learning, today's workplace can't – and shouldn't – function like it did just a few short years ago. As leaders, we must treat employees, customers, and stakeholders with the respect they deserve. And, we must care just as much about respect as we do results. In other words, we must ensure good comes first. Then, and only then, can we expect metrics like engagement, retention, customer service, productivity and profits to improve. My job (and I love my job!) is to help organizations, leaders, and employees see this tsunami of change for what it is: an opportunity to lead, work, think – and compete – differently. How do I help? - I guide leaders to create a purposeful, positive, and productive work culture – a company culture where people expect respect, and the daily showing of respect inspires better results. - I help leaders understand (and then improve) their current level of Workplace Intelligence (WQ) – a metric that helps leaders understand how their teams work best together. - Through coaching and mentoring, I empower professionals, from college graduates to CEOs, to realize their career – and their voice – matters, and I help them get their voice heard. I was recently honored when Inc. Magazine included me in their “Top 100 Leadership Speakers” list and “Top 50 Leadership Innovators.” In addition, Entrepreneur, Forbes, Inc., The Economist, HBR, and many other major publications have featured my work and voice. As a speaker, I'm passionate about delivering “actionable inspiration.” So, we don't just talk about the “why” – we dive into the “what” and “how.” My goal at every event is to lead an interactive discussion that inspires audience members to go beyond TALKING action… to TAKING action. As the pandemic lifts, I look forward to once again speaking at major events, conferences, corporate leadership forums and industry associations. Pre-pandemic, I spoke internationally at Ignite, IBM Insight, for the Digital Citizenship Institute, and many others. I've also spoken for Harvard and the University of China in Hong Kong, Columbia, Princeton, NYU, UCLA, and many other universities.

What if low salaries, the absence of benefits, or lack of training aren't the leading causes of the labor shortage almost every industry is experiencing?

The last year has been hugely difficult. Soon, however, organizations will begin their rise out of the challenging and often contentious times we are currently mired in. Our guest this time is Mark S. Babbitt, culture architect, career coach, blogger, speaker and author. Mark is also President at WorqIQ and CEO at YouTern."There’s a revolution happening" says Mark. "Business today doesn’t function like it did just a few short years ago. As leaders, our customers and our employees now expect more from us"... My job" he adds "is to help organizations, leaders and employees see this tsunami of change for what it is: an opportunity to lead, work, think – and compete – differently".Mark has been included in Inc. Magazine’s list of “Top 100 Leadership Speakers" and was mentioned among the "Top 50 Leadership Innovators." His work is often featured in Entrepreneur, Forbes, Inc and HBR.In addition, Mark has spoken at major events, conferences, corporate leadership forums and industry associations around the globe including Ignite, IBM Insight, the Digital Citizenship Institute, and the Tiger Woods Foundation.

Companies have spent billions of dollars on improving employee engagement for more than 30 years. But according to our guest Mark S Babbitt, world-renowned career and leadership mentor, “we’ve barely moved the needle.” Mark decided it was time to do things differently and started WorqIQ, to help companies focus on the human side of business. “Many companies have simply beaten the human right out of Human Resources. I don’t want things to go back to the way they used to be. I don’t want humankind to miss this opportunity.”  To help get people to work together to solve the problems organizations face, Mark coined the term workplace intelligence; it’s the emotional intelligence of an organization.  Most simply companies don’t know what they stand for, company cultures suck, Mark told us. They can’t look a candidate in the eye and say “here you are safe. Here we respect you as a person. You will grow here as a human being.” Mark is on a mission to fix that. He is also founder of YouTern, a social career resource for college students, recent graduates, and young professionals that enables them to use mentoring, internships, and networks to advance their careers. His new book, Good Comes First: How Today's Leaders Build an Uncompromising Company Culture That Doesn't Suck, published by BenBella Books, arrives September 2021. Joyce Gioia joins the show again as co-host and lead contributor on the segment Ahead of the Curve, Normal 2.0.  Today’s topic was “The Value of Thinking Like a Futurist.”
