    The Future of Leadership: Employment Ethics w/ Dr. Travis Schatchner

    What makes a job ethical? Who truly holds power in the workplace? And why does it matter now more than ever? Meet Dr. Travis Schatchner! Dr. Travis Schachtner's views on leadership and employment ethics are shaped by decades of hard work and personal experience. Growing up on a family farm in rural Wisconsin, he learned that all work has a basic value that should be respected. In his book, Employment Ethics: Redefining the Employer-Employee Relationship, Dr. Schatchner forms the foundation for a fresh perspective on modern work.  For too long, ethical responsibility has been unfairly placed on workers, while employers-driven by profit and protected by power-often avoid accountability. This book challenges that imbalance by redefining employment as a transactional relationship, not a personal favor or moral crusade. Currently, he teaches Electromechanical Systems at Saint Paul College. When asked why he chooses to teach that instead of leadership or management he explains, “We have enough managers and wannabe leaders in the world; we need more people who can actually fix things.”  Listen as Travis shares: The four core pillars of work ethic-and how they're often exploitedWhy employers are not inherently leaders-and shouldn't be treated as suchThe hidden cost of toxic and imbalanced workplace dynamicsWhat employer ethics are-their history and why they matterPractical tools for evaluating your current employment relationship...and so much more!
