People are your biggest assets…Bullshit! They are your biggest impediment if you don't bother investing in their development. One of my go-to's is the 'Manufacturing Happy Hour' podcast with Alex Chausovsky, the Director of Analytics and Consulting at Bundy Group. A recent episode I listened to discussed the economy, the labour market and the investment market. There were a number of things that stood out to me. It's crucial to develop a talent strategy that's not just about bringing people in but making them want to stay. From creating a compelling reason for people to join to ensuring their journey in your organisation needs to be enriching and fulfilling. This should be a wake-up call for businesses, especially in manufacturing. How we onboard and retain talent is the foundation of building a strong, resilient organisation. This episode reminded me of the importance of being purposeful in our hiring practices and truly valuing our teams. For those who would like to listen to this podcast for further insights, I have put a link in the comments. #Manufacturing #TalentStrategy #Leadership #TeamGoals #Innovation

It’s essential for CEOs and business owners to stay inspired and informed. One way to do this is by exploring the books, podcasts, and shows that other successful leaders are currently enjoying. For instance, books like “Nine Lies About Work: A Freethinking Leader’s Guide to the Real World” by Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall, “The 48 Laws of Power” by Robert Greene, and “A Promised Land” by Barack Obama are popular among CEOs for their insightful perspectives on leadership and success. Podcasts such as "The CEO Edge Podcast", "From Founder to CEO" and "HBR IdeaCast" offer valuable insights from industry leaders and thought-provoking speakers. Shows like "Ballers", "The Profit", and "Silicon Valley" provide a mix of entertainment and business acumen, making them a great choice for unwinding after a long day.

One of the biggest problems that sales teams face is definitely the transition of one or more salespeople to the competition. Very often what generates this transition is what we call the 'Belonging Problem': salespeople (both internal and external) don't feel part of the company they represent. But what can sales managers do to reinforce this sense of belonging and prevent the best resources from moving to the competition? I talked about this with Brad Deutser, President & CEO of Consulting Firm Deutser, the Clarity Institute and the Belonging Rules Institute and author of "Leading Clarity: The Breakthrough Strategy to Unleash People, Profit, and Performance" and "Belonging Rules: Five Crucial Actions That Build Unity and Foster Performance."
