There’s no denying that communication is crucial to your success, but, have you ever thought about how well you connect through your communication?

Episode 380 Build Functional Endurance to Activate the Full Potential of Your Employees
One of the best ways to promote employee engagement and increase employee retention is to do what I call “Build FUNctional Endurance.”
It’s okay to have fun at work, and often fun is found in working areas of strength and passion.
As a leader, it is your responsibility to learn more about your people so you can place them in positions where they are more engaged and more effective.
“Building FUNctional Endurance” requires intentional conversations with your employees that give you insight into their personalities and true strengths.
It takes time and effort, but the better you become at placing employees into areas where they are more engaged and effective, you quicker you will see the benefits - retention, improved workplace environment, etc.
In this episode, Mike shares some practical and tactical tips to help you start placing employees where they need to be to see their full potential.If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to leave a 5-star review on your streaming platform.

High-performance leadership starts when you realize it’s less about changing your actions, and more about changing your mind.
To change the outcomes you see, you have to change the thoughts you believe.
A great leader is not one who is afraid of challenging their ingrained beliefs. If you want to see strides in your leadership and become a true “high-performing leader,” then you have to be open to change and adaptation.
In this episode of the Lead Up Podcast, I have a great conversation with special guests Susan Hobson and Rob Kalwarowsky about what mindset shifts leaders MUST make to reach that level of “High-Performance Leadership.”
