The American Education System Is Programming Us to Be Test Takers, Not Question Askers

Join us as our host, George Kamel, talks to Marcus Buckingham. Marcus leads research at the ADP Research Institute. He’s a bestselling author and is known for his research on strengths and leadership at work. Marcus shares what he calls red threads and the impact they can have on your team, your culture and your bottom line. He’ll also dig into the education system and why it’s not setting up the next generation for success in the workforce. Later in the episode, George chats with Jason Williams, the vice president of EntreLeadership here at Ramsey Solutions. Jason talks about how you can have a good conversation with someone on your team when they say, “I’m having a hard time finding passion in what I’m doing. It was fun at first, but now I’m not loving it as much.”

You’ll learn:

• The key to finding satisfaction at work
• How higher education is failing you
• How leaders answer “I hate my job!”
• How to help team members level up
