In the last episode of Market Dominance Guys, our Sales sultans, Corey and Chris tackled the folly of chasing too many shiny objects. Now, Chris shares pragmatic insights on building resilient teams for the marathon versus the sprint. Should staff know the messy truths from day one? Chris believes people need full commitment to the mission. Does solidarity trump balance sheet bravado when attempting bold new initiatives? Chris says, “I think people love to look at stuff because looking at stuff is lower risk than doing stuff. Doing stuff is very high risk. You could fail.”

Join Deborah Fell as we listen to key points Lena Petrova made when she spoke with our host last week. Petrova believes that while artificial intelligence is transforming our tools, it can never replace the human heart and mind. Our emotions, creativity, and vision remain uniquely our own. She urges us not to resist change but to align it with what we believe in – to run our lives and companies with both financial and social purposes. As Petrova says, it’s not about the change, it’s about the change we create.

Leigh and Sally sit down with the Detroit Pistons’ VP of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Stefen Welch, to explore lessons learned about the role DEI plays in growing a team….of employees. Stefen shares his personal story of growth as he rose in the corporate ranks. Today, he leans into his past challenges to drive future results for the team of employees around him.

What if we viewed every employee as having untapped potential waiting to be uncovered? Russell Kern joins Susan in this episode to discuss how shifting to strength-based coaching can profoundly transform organizations and lives. Through focusing regular conversations on nurturing strengths, managers become empowering partners in their employees’ career journeys. Employees feel recognized for their unique abilities and supported to grow as individuals. Imagine the ripple effects across teams and companies when people are passionate about using their natural strengths daily. The data is clear – strength-based coaching boosts engagement, productivity, profits, and retention. They would like to hammer home that it is time to stop focusing on profits and focus on people. We hire PEOPLE to work with us for 30% of our lives. The strengths revolution starts with believing in human capabilities and caring deeply about enabling every individual to thrive. Get tips on how small changes by managers can unlock tremendous organizational success. The future is bright when we inspire greatness in one another. This is the first of several conversations to come between Susan and Russell on Rooted in Revenue.
