Description

Meqa is the owner/founder of the Unforgettable agency. She's on a mission to help companies stop employing people and start enrolling them. In this episode, we discuss how we all want to feel part of a tribe, how to inspire people to go the extra mile, leadership's role in hiring and the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.Big ticket items: 1:00 Employment mindset VS Enrolment mindset 1:50 : Why is it so hard to recruit people? Hammers & Nails = we think that tactical issues hold us back. Mainly because that’s where we always seem to start.03:53 : Starting from a place of self-awareness. If we understand how people operate, including ourselves, then maybe we can make better hiring processes and decisions.07:10 : Employment is a relationship. Between you and your boss, the company. Do we all just accept that work sucks?09:40 : How do we hire people smarter than us, when we still hire in a very transactional way? Extrinsic VS Intrinsic motivations.15:25 : Motivation as a skill in job ads? Do people want to be motivated or inspired?21:00 : LinkedIn data shows that job tenure is 1.6 years on average, does this highlight the fact that employers are missing something?24:47 : Have we developed a lexicon around hiring and job seeking that we don’t really understand? A meaningless, vague language that we all use?27:25 : It’s easier to inspire when you’re a big brand or not changing the world? What do the “normal” businesses do?32:40 : We’ve all had a WTF moment after starting a new job. The disconnect between expectation and reality. 34:40 : The emotional contract of employment. The hidden contract that we all know is really there.37:35 : The undeniable link between recruitment and performance.Find Meqa at:m@unforgettable.agencyhttps://unforgettable.agency/https://www.linkedin.com/in/msmeqa/
