In the United States, according to Gallup, nearly 70% of employees are not engaged in their work. Disengagement negatively affects profitability and productivity. I believe there are 3 ways businesses can improve engagement. One, they inspire with a clear vision. Two, they practice open-book management. Three, they intentionally build collaborative, accountable, strength-focused teams.
My intention is to inspire owners considering a new way to run their business and to encourage those currently fighting the good fight to balance profits and social impact.
Let’s be inspired.
The show will touch on business strategy, vision, internal communication, finance, accounting, organizational development, team-building, marketing, sales, and operations.
Inspirations for the show include The Great Game of Business, by Jack Stack; Zingermans Community of Businesses, Ari Weinzweig, Paul Saginaw, Small Giants by Bo Burlingham, Open Book Managment by John Case, Zappos, and others.

My winner appears to be out of pocket and I won't hear from them until later this week. In the meantime, I've been reading the book and listening to the previous episodes to prepare for a big project at my work.

Alignment for Business and Employee Engagement
I'm not going to talk about backs or cars and proper alignment. Instead, in this "Best Of" episode I'm sharing my 2016 talk with George and Mollie. They're employees at Menlo Innovations in Ann Arbor and talk about a variety of subjects. The one that stood out to me was the importance of aligning your policies and practices with your vision and purpose.

Compelling Business Leadership Podcast
This podcast has terrific nuggets of thought-provoking business processes and best practices that are relatable and inspirational. Highly recommended for business leaders, owners, entreprenuers, and those aspiring to grow personally and professionally. Top shelf!
Applied and Practial Inspiration
Todd’s podcast is a great resource. As someone who straddles a multitude of responsibilities that sometimes seem at odds with one another, it’s easy to feel spread too thin to invest emotion and engagement into every facet of every project. Hearing Todd and his guests discuss their own projects and how to bear down and focus on what’s in front of them and how that relates to their grander strategy or vision is extremely helpful for those of us who have trouble seeing both short and long term goals at the same time. It’s just practical advice on intentionality. I’d pay to see it live!
