Episode notes

With a new workforce coming up and leaving college, there's an emphasis on being a good human being. Management and leadership just look different now than they did three years ago. You can have a leader who's a frontline barista and manager requires authority because you have to tell people what to do with their fire. Some managers are leaders, some aren't. They don't have to be. But the big thing that I need to highlight here is I am not proposing a super soft, cuddly way of saying, I'm a good human. Let's all sing kumbaya to get.

It’s no secret that COVID-19 changed the American workplace. Remote work, Zoom meetings, and using Slack for communication has become the norm and changed the way we do work as a society. But what does all of this mean for business leaders? The reality is, the skills set of a leader has changed since COVID-19, and so has the expectations of work culture.

In today’s episode, Donald Miller talks with Seth Godin, best-selling author, renowned entrepreneur, and Marketing Hall of Fame inductee. Seth shares insight from his new book, The Song of Significance: A New Manifesto for Teams. You’ll learn how the new landscape of the American workplace requires leaders who trust their employees, embrace turnover, and encourage collaboration and creativity. Tune in now to learn how you can embrace new ways to lead and so you can have happier, more productive team members that bring health and growth to your entire organization.
