There is a feeling in the air, and it’s a feeling that I am safe, I am informed, I’m respected, I’m valued, and I’m understood. People need to feel safe, informed, respected, valued, and understood. And it’s interesting to just begin a dialogue with your workers, with your employees, with your management team to find out, do they feel in this culture that they are safe, informed, respected, valued and understood. Because if those things are weak, trust will be in poor repair.“ – Mike Armour   Resources|Links Free Downloads Related to Leadership, Management, and Entrepreneurialism Free E-Books and Booklets: https://www.leaderperfect.com/freestuff Upsize Your Leadership:https://www.leaderperfect.com/podcast   Connect with Mike Armour:  Website: https://www.leaderperfect.com Linkedin:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikearmour

"When I go into a company, the first thing I do, or I want to do, is to do a survey of the workforce and a survey of the leadership team. And what comes out of that, I have always found that what the leadership team thinks the challenges are, are different than what the workforce (thinks). That old saying, "You can't see the forest through the trees" it's the same that happens in leadership in a company. Especially medium size, they don't have a people officer who's doing this kind of work." – Julie Ann Sullivan     Resources|Links Sign up to Julie Ann's Business Culture Insights at https://julieannsullivan.com/   Connect with Julie Ann Sullivan:  Website: https://julieannsullivan.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/JASatLNE Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julieannsullivan

They started with virtually no money or wine industry experience and pioneered worthy cause marketing.

They’re coming to work, they don’t know what to expect. This is your chance to tell them about your company’s story.’ – Michael Houlihan   Episode Takeaway: How to solve employee turnover? “If people are more engaged, if they understand what the principles are of the founder, then they can relate to that and they can relate to everyone they’re working with, and be more of a team player. They can care more about the company that they’re working for, instead of it just being a job. So, it solves the problem of turnover, the number one hidden cost of any company.” – Bonnie Harvey   Resources|Links Blogs at www.thebarefootspirit.com  & www.consumerbrandbuilders.com     Connect with Bonnie Harvey and Michael Houlihan:  Website 1: https://thebarefootspirit.com Website 2: https://www.consumerbrandbuilders.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/barefoot_spirit Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BarefootWineFounders

Gallagher frequently speaks and writes on the topics of onboarding, change management, and team communication.    “The very next time that you have a new hire joining your company, you actually asked them to pay attention to what’s missing, and have them create a list of what kinds of information and knowledge they needed, or wish that they had to make their onboarding better. And then you use that new hire to write that documentation or to gather that from subject matter experts.” – Kristen Gallagher   Why you have to check out today’s podcast: Discover why it is important to have an onboarding system that scales with you and cuts time to productivity in half - for every level of your business Learn the importance of investing in helping managers be better people leaders through targeted development Know how to ease your onboarding pains if you're tired of scrambling to onboard your new hires, struggling with the same-old, same-old management challenges, and looking to galvanize your team so they can meet the vision through the help of Edify   Learn More about the 3X Value Growth™ Model Go to www.3xvaluegrowth.com/model     Episode Takeaway: How do Kristen Gallagher help managers onboard better? “The reason I think that that’s the most important question in onboarding, actually is that if a manager isn’t on-boarded well, then they are not going to be able to onboard the rest of their team well, and they’re not going to be able to manage their team well. And the answer to that question, how should I manage the onboarding of my own managers better, is by going around to the rest of the managers in your company, similar to the tip I offered with new hires, figuring out what they needed when they got started. Making that checklist for yourself. And then as you think about the kinds of tacit knowledge, the things that are in your head as a business owner, what kinds of things does the manager not know that you know about the ropes, say, learning the ropes part. And write those things into the checklist as well. So, I think that’s a really important question and a pretty easy answer as well.” – Kristen Gallagher Resources|Links Link:  MVP Onboarding For The 97% of Startups Who Have None Connect with Kristen Gallagher:  Website:  http://www.edifyedu.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/edifyedu/  Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/edifyedu/

And sometimes that can just be a virtual room, I have a lot of clients who are now global in nature. And you can’t always get someone in the same physical room, do your best. And then focus, once you get them in the room, focus on how you get things done not just what needs to get done. And that would include of course an accountability structure. But I think process whether you’re looking at sort of seat of the pants or standard operating procedure, I call my SOP continuum, focusing on what process and how much you need is every bit as important as what you get done if you want to grow your business.
