WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TODAY?  The buzzword “quiet quitting” was coined during the pandemic when overworked employees felt underappreciated and struggled to find ways to achieve work/life balance.  We talk about this trend and how a similar leadership trend, #missingmanager, affects the workforce and your business.

WHAT TOPICS DO WE COVER?

* What is “Quiet Quitting,” and why is it happening
* What are #missingmanagers, and how do they affect their employees and business
* We discuss the Harvard Business Review article about why the workplace is changing, including a description of The Five R’s
* We talk about other employment changes occurring now and how they affect employees and leaders

WHAT’S THE TAKE-AWAY? 

Quiet Quitting isn’t about quitting. Instead, it is a mindset where employees are fulfilling their job duties but not going above and beyond to achieve work/life balance.  #missingmanagers  have a similar mindset where these managers do the bare minimum to get by at the expense of their employees.  Both of these trends affect your employees and business.

WHO ARE DAVE AND KELLI?

An entrepreneur and intrapreneur duo with street smarts, ‘preneurial’ chops, and a penchant for storytelling.

Dave and Kelli met as teenagers and have a life-long story of their own. They took separate and contrasting career paths, both struggling with the challenges of business and celebrating their career successes differently. 

Kelli, who “worked for the man like a dog for decades,” and Dave, who “started or ran businesses all of his life,” quickly realized there may be substantial value for others based on those combined experiences. The “My Job Here Is Done” Podcast is the result.

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TODAY?  Rules. Why we need them, why they are important to our leadership, career, and business growth, and why people generally don’t like rules.

WHAT TOPICS DO WE COVER?

* Where rules started (hint - pretty long ago)
* Some of our first learned rules
* Meep Meep (the rules of the Roadrunner)
* A better way to communicate rules that help people follow them
* 111-year-old business rules that remain super-valid today

WHAT’S THE TAKEAWAY? 

Rules are necessary, but we communicate them in ways that make rules seem bad to some people. Fix the communication aspect, and rules will become just a common sense part of a happy existence.
