Navigating Your Leadership Podcast

Today's guest is Jim Collison, the CliftonStrengths Community Manager at Gallup’s Omaha, Nebraska office where he helps manage the 11,000+ Gallup-Certified Coaches globally. Jim also helps produce Gallup’s Webcasts / Podcasts like Theme Thursday and Gallup Called to Coach. 
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER: 
How Jim used his Strengths to create a simple but highly effective communication system (that you can implement this week)
Why great coaches, partnerships and managers can create successful, more engaged & happier team members
How to become a successful leader that others WANT to follow!
How Clifton Strengths can help you build better relationships at work and at home
Once you listen to this episode you'll be inspired to work within your strengths to become a great leader (or follower) who cares about people first! 
This week’s quote is from Jim Collison: “People matter. … Sometimes we get too wrapped around the axle of performance, or numbers. And listen, those things are important. But, the way to work is through people. And I think if we can spend time developing what's best in people, and if we can spend time giving them the highest propensity to be successful in what they're doing, I don't know if there's a better way to do it”
Suggested Books for leaders & managers: 
"First, Break All the Rules" from Gallup

What great employees desire in a career has changed! The employers who want to attract and KEEP top team members should pay attention to the 6 changing demands of today's workforce.  In today's episode we cover the final two changes today's best employees/team members are looking for.  They want the focus to be on their strengths, not their weaknesses, and they are seeking work-life balance more than ever! According to June 2021 Forbes article by Jack Kelly  Prudential’s latest Pulse of the American Worker survey found that 25% of workers “plan to look for a new job post-pandemic” and “compensation, work-life balance and lack of growth opportunities are top priorities.”

What great employees desire in a career has changed! The employers who want to attract and KEEP top team members should pay attention to the 6 changing demands of today's workforce.  Most of the changes are simple and can be very cost-effective to implement.  Many only require a change of perspective, a change of thinking, and a change in S.O.P.’s.  Even the changes that will require a financial investment are still a fraction of what retraining and rehiring are costing companies today.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN:
5 facts you should know about employee turnover.  Knowing these may help you keep your best team members.
What, according to a Linkedin study, 94% of employees said would have kept them at a job longer if their company provided this.  (don't miss it!)
How much you should be investing in professional and career development in 2022. 
 
This Week's Leadership Challenge - 1) Ask your team what your mission & vision is.  If they don't know, it might be time to work on that..  2) Create a training budget and plan for 2022 (perhaps a Strengths workshop or HPT??).  
This week’s quote: "Income seldom exceeds personal development." - Jim Rohn
