| Give Up Control and Grow Ep 038 Kevin Jones Pt 02 | 21 Jun 2016 | 00:18:57 | |
In part 2 of my series with Kevin Jones, I asked for details on his company viaPing and the work he’s doing around employee feedback. We’ve all seen the yearly, or in one case every 3 year, employee feedback surveys. We take them and very rarely see any results or actions taken as a result. Kevin’s thought of another method that he’s helped companies implement and it’s called viaPing and it’s a methodology of daily employee feedback. Yes, daily.
This talk is not just about his company it’s about loosening up control, giving employees more room to take chances, and creating opportunities for conversations to begin among all levels and departments of your company.
Kevin Jones works with companies to help them reimagine and change the way they work, operate, and how they engage their employees. The only way to do this is to challenge the status quo.
Questions - How can you create communication methods so people who don’t know each other to meet and share ideas to create solutions?
Like the invoicing team at the consultants, what departments could start asking questions to the users to improve how they operate?

Kevin Jones interview on the Switch and Shift podcast The Rebel Leader, Our Complicated Fascination with Employee Engagement - http://switchandshift.com/fascination-employee-engagement
Q 2423 We don’t care what our employees think.
Engagement and employee feedback can be more effective if it’s more grassroots.
Employee feedback should be more often than once a year. It should also be shared with each other to begin conversations.
Don’t assume management needs to solve the problems. Create something insourced management - let it come from the bottom/inside up.
Employee feedback needs to be the beginning of the conversation.
Be more open and let employees know the obstacles to change.
Initiative Adoption - how do you get your teams to adopt initiatives? One thing - does it align with how your team works?
With a robust employee feedback mechanism, you may see better adoption of new initiatives because they come from the people they affect and not from “on high”.
Portrait Artist - I discovered Meredith Binnette at her school’s senior art show. She's recently graduated high school and is pursuing art in college. Meredith, good luck in your pursuits.
You can run a business or organization that: Affirms people Is financially solid Inspires your community Operates openly with excellence And Communicates a clear, consistent vision

| Uncap Human Potential | 14 Jun 2016 | 00:26:52 | |
Kevin Jones is the featured guest for the next 3 episodes. In this episode we talk about: Working through the balance of technology and human side of business and how we cap employees potential.
Even though we have the best intentions employees are still disengaged. The importance of designing our business for the employees not just the customers. And one “simple” solution that can help move your organization to more collaboration and engagement.
Kevin Jones works with companies to help them reimagine and change the way they work, operate, and how they engage their employees. The only way to do this is to challenge the status quo.
Questions Are your company processes, structure, and culture truly aligned to relinquish some control to allow your team to be more agile?
Do your employees understand the why of their work? The purpose?
What can you do to design your work so that you enable employees to give their best to provide the best product for the cusotmers?

Kevin Jones interview on the Switch and Shift podcast The Rebel Leader, Our Complicated Fascination with Employee Engagement - http://switchandshift.com/fascination-employee-engagement
Notes Taken During Editing Technology’s advanced but how we design our work hasn’t advanced as much.
Are humans in the workplace just resources simply to be managed?
We’re marginalizing our people and capping their potential because of how we design our work.
Do you want to move beyond corporate zombies and tap into the potential of your employees? Listen here.
How often are you shooting down the ideas of your team members without consideration for validity.
Employee Capping example: Senior leader who is so busy that he doesn’t have the time to respond to the feedback, so people stop providing feedback, next time he asked.
Is your company set up to put caps on people?
Employees, do you want to love your work?
Engagement is more of a personal thing. Does the employee understand the why of their work? The purpose?
The culture is how we work together. The unsaid things. How we interact. How things get done. 1420 Cost of disengagement and bad culture: mediocrity.
When starting a company we design it for customers. At some point, we need to also think how we design our company for the employees.
Q 2100+- Design to enable employees to give their best to provide the best product for the cusotmers.
Change means change in the company structure and processes as much as in people.
Change can come from a scary yet simple solution: give up some control.
Do you want your company to be more agile? Release some control and let your people be more agile.

| Management Needs to Evolve | 17 May 2016 | 00:22:35 | |
No Question this week - simply buy Shawn's book, Optimistic Workplace and start working on the worksheets and questions he created at the back. Notes taken during the editing of the show Optimistic Workplace came about because of a terrible experience at a “Great Place to Work”. Pay for classes that didn’t apply directly to their job. “We’re not here to help people self-actualize.” Who out there are creating great workplaces and how are they doing it. Studs Terkel - Read him. “Often times our work is violent, to our spirit.” You can continue to have a violent workplace or you can do something to make a more optimistic workplace. You don’t have to stay stuck there. Management needs to evolve. Leadership and Stewardship. “Management” is about control and monitor and manipulate. People want to connect, want purpose, want freedom to get the job done, to be responsible. “Management” should steward and take care of the people and create an environment of success and creativity. Not just people first. Purpose, meaningful work, and Extraordinary people to create an amazing work environment. The three work together as the origins of optimism. Bob Chapman says that he’s yet to find someone disagree with him that “Everybody Matters”. What he does struggle to find, is the people willing to follow through and make the changes necessary to move the needle on human workplaces. Somebody has to go first in creating a workplace where everybody matters. And they’re not sure what to do. Shawn has created tools at the end of his book to help people, especially middle managers. Optimism planner - 90 days. Personal values, meeting designs to get people on the same page on an optimistic workplace. One on One format. Optimism One on Ones. Focus on work progress. Purpose and values alignment. Are your managers, managers or stewards? What can you do to help this to change in your workplace? Not a question: get his book and try those exercises at the end of the book. I don’t make any money from these purchases. Shawn Murphy is the CEO and Founder of Switch & Shift, a boutique consultancy and advisory firm dedicated to developing and advancing positive organizational business and leadership practices.

Shawn holds a MBA from Drexel University, LeBow College of Business, and a Bachelor’s in Organizational Behavior from University of San Francisco.

| Unleash the Unlimited Potential of Your Team | 10 May 2016 | 00:17:47 | |
Unleash The Unlimited Potential of Your Team, Shawn Murphy, Part 2 Questions Does your company have a set of values that all know to help them be on the same page on how you're going to succeed as a company?
Does your team feel free to contribute ideas?
Switch and Shift - what does the “human side of business” mean?
Notes taken during the editing of the episode They’re employees are spread out all over the country.
Discussion of how Switch and Shift’s story might help my wife as she structures her business to be family friendly.
Gig economy - flexibility to go where the work is and to help a variety of people who are also working on your gigs.
What is be be do at Switch and Shift. Instead of the normal core values they decided to create this saying as driving values behind their company. Be inspirational. (You know I like that one.) Be Heretical. Do Good. Their guiding principles.
They shape their intentions and decisions. They are also upgrading their values as the company has grown and they believe they need to be more defined and universal.
Lots of companies have financial success without thinking about all this human worth stuff. So why think about it? You remove the lid on performance and make it unlimited. Lift the lid on your team’s potential. People will contribute more when they are valued and allowed to be creative.
Is all this just an attempt by The Man to stick it to employees to get more out of them without more pay or more benefits?
If we and our people are spending so much time at work, shouldn’t we create an atmosphere of positive vibes, solid productivity, and mindfulness about the work being done. You want them inspired so they are open when the cool ideas come at those off work times.
Is this all just a first world problem? No matter where you are in the world, you are working and you want to do something that is meaningful and contributes to a greater many and not just to a few.

| Work As a Source of Joy | 03 May 2016 | 00:31:07 | |
Questions from the episode
Is there a way to look at your work as purpose and not so much transactional? What is your work climate? Notes Taken during the editing. [powerpress] Work can be a source of joy. Working for a paycheck is transactional. What is it that you’re doing that is meaningful to you and purposeful to others? Don’t focus on joy directly. You focus on the things that help that feeling emerge. Knowing your work has meaning usually brings joy. Meaningful work means you're getting something from the work being done. Meaning - you get the satisfaction of doing the work for yourself. You can find purpose in any kind of work. Find purpose in what you’re doing and move from the transaction. Company culture vs Company Climate Company Culture - How things get done around an organization. Also the basic assumptions how the organization works. Netflix - don’t have limits on vacation time and don’t have a policy on travel expenses. Assumption is made that people can be trusted. This is why culture is so challenging to change. Because, often they’re based on deeper seated assumptions on human behavior and interaction. Climate is what it’s like to work somewhere. (Hay group?) More influenced by someone’s immediate leader. How your leader shows up at work. 70% of the work experience is determined on your direct management experience. Great company culture is not a millennial thing, but a human thing. However, 71% of millennials cite meaningful work as a priority. Social Strategy - Open, transparent - our brains are wired for connection and this is why social media is so popular. Create rich strong relationships within the workplace. To thrive in this social environment - where are they creating social connections and being transparent. Strengths - what energizes me and what I’m good at doing. Understanding strengths to make connections and open.

David is an award winning member of the extension as well as an award winning fiction writer.
In this episode David talks about mini-games, the steps to begin going down the road of opening up your organization, and finally, the importance of Dirt Cake! Our second guest to mention the importance of yummy deserts in their pursuit of a more open, engaging workplace.
Social Shareables We spend too much time at work to not have some fun being there.
Literal notes while listening to the episode. The goal of a mini-game is get your team focused on hitting the critical number. They also call them drivers.
Struggles implementing the great game - getting people excited about it, both management and staff. Finding time to do it.
No question, just the first steps to get started getting the whole team involved in the business of your organization: Read the book Pray/Meditate/Ponder if you’re ready and next steps Search out others running the GGOB
First step in opening up the books: buy The Great Game of Business by Jack Stack. (not an affiliate link, they’re not allowed in Missouri - What’s Up With That!?) http://amzn.com/0385348339

| Improve Your Bottom Line 20 Percent with OBM | 19 Apr 2016 | 00:17:53 | |
Improve Your Bottom Line 20 Percent with OBM David Burton, Part 2
David is a civic communication specialist for University of Missouri Extension and has responsibilities throughout the 17 counties of southwest Missouri. He is headquartered out of the Extension office in Springfield, Mo.
David is an award winning member of the extension as well as an award winning fiction writer.
In this episode David shares how the great game interacts with their annual business plan, how they’re in the black for the first time in 6 years, and how everyone is participating in the financial accountability of the Extension office.
Social Shareables from Part 2 with David Burton One small (/sarc) effect of running the Great Game at the Extension - 1st time in 6 yrs in the black.
Another small (/sarc) effect of GGOB at the extension - Council members are engaged and understand the financials.
Effect of GGOB at the extension - Everyone on staff coming up with ways to save on expenses. New ideas on income generation bubbled up from inside.
Aha moment - many/most people don’t understand the financials and maybe timid to admit it. No shame. Start educating.
Learn how a nutrition specialist helped to reign in travel spending.
Literal Notes taken while listening to the episode:
How the great game interacts with their process of creating an annual Business Plan - Business Plan is a Blueprint of what they need/want to do. While the Great Game is more of “how” they will achieve the plan. How they will implement.
Just opening up the books and teaching the team the financials has shown, on average, a 20% improvement in your bottom line. You see more benefits if you’re able to provide an incentive.
Mutli-year team member after implementing GGOB - This is the first time I’ve really understood what these numbers mean and how I can impact them.
Chart - Know and teach the rules, follow the action and keep score, and provide a stake in the outcome, and the Critical Number at the convergence of these three.
Know and teach the rules - First, agree that you’re playing a “game” and that there is a score that measures the success of your organization. What numbers reflect success for your organization.
Follow the action and keep score - Everyone has a line item they’re responsible for tracking and projecting forward. They meet 30 minutes every week to cover the score. Creates a lot of interaction between team members.
Provide a stake in the outcome - can be as simple as having “dirt cake” after hitting a soil test threshold, to a larger “bonus” of development money if they hit the critical number at the end of the year.
Question: How much would it help your organization if you admitted (if true) that there are elements of the financials you don’t understand? What if you started learning and then teaching on it?

| Give the Best Gift to Your Team | 26 Dec 2017 | 00:04:28 | |
It’s the day after Xmas and all through the office, not a creature is stirring, not even a boss… Anyway, I’m not going to rewrite the entire story to fit my podcast, but I did wan to take this Tuesday, following Christmas and the next, following New Years to reflect and look forward. This week, I’m thinking about mindfulness and your team. In the context of culture and work: mindfulness basically means that you look inward and with intention bring your best self to your work and interactions.

| Changing Mindsets with Open Book Management | 12 Apr 2016 | 00:38:33 | |
David is a civic communication specialist for University of Missouri Extension and has responsibilities throughout the 17 counties of southwest Missouri. He is headquartered out of the Extension office in Springfield, Mo.
David is an award winning member of the extension as well as an award winning fiction writer.
In part 1 of 3 episodes, David gets into what open book management is for a small government/non-profit/complicated organization like his, how the great game has changed the mindset of the team, and how they’ve overcome skepticism.
Social Shareables from part 1 Open Book Management is both a life preserver and a motor boat. It helped pull us out of the financial crisis and at the same time moving us forward.
Literal notes taken while listening to the show: Open book management is also financial transparency, financial education, team-building, and a philosophy that gets people on the same page on decision making and strategic planning.
After open book management we’re not just thinking, “what’s in it for me?”.
Questions Are you and your people thinking about the day-to-day habits that are costing your organization money and time?
The extension has a complicated mission, management structure, and funding process. If they’re able to use open book management, do you think your department or company could manage it?
Might there be skepticism in your organization to open book management working? What could help convince your team to buy-in? At the end of this episode is a quick interview with Shawn Murphy, co-creator of The Rebel Leader Podcast. This is the first podcaster highlight i wanted to share with you. I will choose a podcaster that I believe will help you run your business and life in such a way that you will intentional inspire yourself and those around you.
These interviews will normally be their own episode on the Inspired and Intentional channel, but I wanted to share the first one with you.
From the Rebel Leader Launch: The Rebel Leader promises to bring together executives, leaders (both formal and informal), entrepreneurs, authors and influencers who make a difference by leading rebelliously. We’ll interview people you already know and admire, and many purpose-driven leaders you’ve never heard of – but should.
Through stories, interviews and analysis we’ll help you understand how much leadership is changing as we leave the Industrial Age behind – and embrace the Social Age.
The show will be hosted by the CEO and Founder of Switch & Shift, Shawn Murphy. He’ll be joined by Mark Babbitt, our President and Senior Partner.

| Managers, Entrepreneurs, and Leaders You Have Superpowers | 29 Mar 2016 | 00:20:44 | |
Here we are for part 2 with Anese Cavanaugh, as she continues her discussion of Intentional Energetic Presence and her book Contagious Culture. Anese is devoted to helping people show up and bring their best selves to the table in order to create significant positive impact in their lives. She is the creator of the IEP Method® , an advisor and thinking partner to leaders and organizations around the world, and author of Contagious Culture: Show Up, Set the Tone, and Intentionally Create an Organization That Thrives. We’ll see you on the other side of the conversation with our round of questions. Social Shareables - Takeaways from part two with Anese, When addressing culture, it is an inside out approach. Leaders, look inside and then move out. We all have superpowers and have an impact on those around us. Choose today how you will use them. Is the way I show up Is the way I talk to myself Is the way I talk to other people Is the way I take care for myself Is the way I regard others ...helping me have the impact I want to have on the world? If, “no”, then there is beautiful work to be done there.
Showing up for yourself means you share the idea in a meeting when you normally wouldn’t share. Make your next meeting more productive: make it shorter and make an agreement to have no phones in the meeting.

She’ll talk about vision for the Great Game of Government and how everyone plays a role in determining the direction of their organizations, whether in government or business. Social Media Shareables: “My vision is that this would spread to all local, state and federal governments.” “If someone believes in the mission, they can influence others, including leadership to join the cause of open-book management.” “I would not be here talking with you if it weren’t for by Great Game Coach, Rhonda Alexander.” Questions
Challenge: If you’re in government or want to help your local government get a better handle on their/your finances, present this last series of episodes to them.

| Great Game of Government w Cindy Stein Pt 01 | 01 Mar 2016 | 00:23:51 | |
Before we get started, I want to remind you of the drawing we’re having this week. (Of course many of you will be listening to this after the fact, sorry, it’s both the magic and curse of podcasting.) Anyway, James Lehman, my previous guest offered up an opportunity for one listener to take a free Energy Leadership Index Assessment and phone evaluation with James after he receives the results. I found out it has a value of $419. I am still accepting entries until midnight March 5th. Go to inspiredandintentional.com/energy to register for the drawing. I’m excited to begin a new 3 part series with Cindy Stein. Cindy S. Stein, Certified Public Accountant and a graduate from Missouri State University. Cindy began her career with a local public accounting firm and remained there until her election to Greene County Auditor in 1994. We’ll be talking with Cindy today about how the Great Game of Business is being implemented in the Greene County Government. Greene County is in Southwest Missouri, the largest town being Springfield. Many of you have heard of Branson, it’s just North of them. Tweetables - “It’s about the employees and the foundation they have developed and the culture they help foster.” “We’re not questioning the person. We’re questioning the number.” Questions for part 1 with Cindy Stein.
Remember, James Lehman, my previous guest offered up an opportunity for one listener to take a free Energy Leadership Index Assessment and phone evaluation with James after he receives the results.

| Ep 21 Career Management for the Inspired Employee | 25 Feb 2016 | 00:13:21 | |
James Lehman, Award-Winning Author, Speaker, Workshop Leader, and a Life & Career Transition Coach, changes it up a bit and we discuss his book and what he’s focused on right now. It’s a slight diversion from the main topic of Inspired and Intentional business. However, it is about self management of your career which does align with employee accountability and engagement in their own career. http://inspiredandintentional.com/leaders-do-you-fear-creativity-innovation-and-ideas-episode-18/james_lehman/ Maneuvering Your Career, Career Transition, Unemployment, career change, professional coach, Human Resources Transformation, James K LehmanThis 4th and first Thursday episode James will cover:
[powerpress] Questions for this episode: As a leader, how could you take the topics about career management and help your team take more command of their careers? Would this help your company? If you’re undergoing a career transition, what could you do to take control over your career so you can find a place of meaning and purpose? Perhaps coaching could help. With that in mind, James offered up an opportunity for one listener to take a free Energy Leadership assessment with an evaluation with James after he receives the results. I will accept entries during the next two weeks, from February 23rd to midnight March 5th. Go to inspiredandintentional.com/energy to register for the drawing. Thank you so much for listening/reading and until next time, be inspired and intentional. James K. Lehman is an Award-Winning Author, Speaker, Workshop Leader, and a Life & Career Transition Coach. After starting his career as a CPA, he transitioned into consulting, and then HR, focusing on HR Transformation. James is the author of "Maneuvering Your Career - 20 Strategies to Prepare You for Voluntary (or Involuntary) Career Transition." He is a SPHR, a Certified Professional Coach, and Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner. He also serves on the International Association for Human Resource Information Management (IHRIM) Board of Directors . Podcast worldview: Gallup says 70% of US employees are disengaged from their work. This causes, what Ari Weinzweig calls an energy crisis in the workplace. Lost innovation, productivity and profits. Not to mention the tolls on the communities. There are companies and organizations working to improve this. they are creating more open and collaborative work environments. They are realizing that treating people with dignity and providing meaningful work can be done while also running a financially solid organization. My hope with this podcast is to inspire leaders, entrepreneurs, and those coming into leadership through transition, to make intentional choices to balance profit and social impact.

I'm excited to continue with my conversation with Matthew Bodary, Account Manager for Zingerman’s Coffee Company. This week Matthew we’ll cover topics like
1. Is your training given context? Is it explained why it’s there, what it’s about? Is it organized and easily tracked so they and their team know where they are in the training cycle? 2. Visioning - Are you and your people very clear on what success looks like in your organization? 3. Meetings - are your’s focused, everyone prepared, expected roles, set agendas, starting on time, and have clear objectives? 4. Engagement - He said, “Picturing yourself sharing in the creation of something special.”- Again with the clear vision, where your organization is going and what it will look like. Can your team see that, understand, and see how they fit into that and what role they can contribute to be part of something bigger than themselves?

| Episode 11 Matthew Bodary Meaningful Workplace Measurements | 05 Jan 2016 | 00:17:52 | |
This week Matthew we’ll cover topics like improving the customer experience, finding meaningful success measurements, and measuring things like workplace energy.
1. Are your people looking for ways to delight/improve the experience of customers, especially those everyday customers? Do you have a system to encourage this? What could you do to change this? 2. “I think it’s important, in some way, to see measurable affects of your work.” Matthew uses the analogy of putting and being able to see immediate results of your putting. And how important that is in improving your game. Things to check if they are impacting the bottom line in a positive way. Things go measure: Sales Coffee Quality - Effects of new systems implemented Waste generated - compost (There is an example given in something I read where a dishwasher commented on how many fries he threw away. The Roadhouse lowered the portions, while offering free refills. There was a marked lowering of costs.)
He then talks about tying some of the gainsharing monetary reward to both profit and hitting some of these other measures.
What are some other areas you could measure within your business to improve your bottom line, profits, and employee engagement?
3. He spoke about the Department Operating Report with measures like How can you include your team to determine meaningful measurements? What way can you get them involved in the tracking and reporting of the results?
4. Another measure, energy. “You’re either contributing or detracting from the workplace energy.” 3 Types of energy Physical Mental/Emotional Vibrational (How you’re appearing to others.) What could you measure that would improve the overall vibe of your workplace?

| Tweener Episode 1 Employee Engagement Lessons and Resources Learned So Far | 29 Dec 2015 | 00:16:12 | |
A young chef finds her passion for cooking again, a factory worker's marriage improves because he's talking more with his wife, and an owner regains her energy and love for business as she finds a renewed purpose and a vision for her company. These are a few of the stories I heard while interviewing the gang at Zingerman's for the first few episodes of the Inspired and Intentional business podcast. This episode is going to be a brief overview of the top lessons learned and to also point out a few resources I've learned of while getting this podcast going. Lessons: 1. There's an art to this whole culture thing. To creating and thinking about organizational development. Really thinking through how your people, customers, suppliers and community experience your company. Are you adding benefits beyond pay, product/services and taxes? Why should you? 2. People will make up stories in a vacuum. Fill in the holes with truth, openness, and authenticity. Work through what they need to know by putting yourself in their shoes and thinking through what they worry about. What questions will they ask you? This really goes beyond the simple issue of being open during a crisis. This vacuum is filled day by day via the building of trust within the team. You can't be open in a crisis and expect people to believe you, you have to open all the time. During the good and the bad. This topic came up during the discussion of numbers, salaries, profits and what the owners are making, and why certain decisions are made. If they don't understand numbers and how a company makes a profit and generates cash...on a daily basis, they will make up stories about where all that money is going. (Probably to the government and the bank! : ) 3. Collaboration and consensus doesn't mean you have to agree all the time and always see eye-to-eye on all decisions. Collaboration does need the parties involved to share values and vision. It also doesn't mean that every decision has to be by consensus or by democratic vote. Just be clear on how the decisions are being made and who's involved in the process. 4. Systems help employees consistently perform their best when they otherwise don't feel like it. 5. Dissent - come up with ways to encourage it. There's the "what's working/not working" meeting or the open forum method. 6. Create a system for change. Some call it Kaizen and some continuous improvement. Zingerman's calls it Bottom Line Change. 7. The importance of a vision. So many of the issues brought up would come down to vision. Do your systems support you vision? Do you HR practices support the vision? People are engaged when they're clear on the vision, take part in creating it, and understand the role they play in making that vision a reality. Clarity, communication, and consistency are the 3 "C" words I would use when working with my vision. Resources Classes - Books - Tours - Certifications B-Corp - from their website - "B Corps are for-profit companies certified by the nonprofit B Lab to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency."

| Todd Reeds Zingerman's Guide to Great Service Book Review | 22 Dec 2015 | 00:05:50 | |

| Episode 10 Matthew Bodary A Zingerman's Employee Perspective | 15 Dec 2015 | 00:17:56 | |
Gallup says 70% of US employees are disengaged from their work. This causes, what Ari Weinzweig calls an energy crisis in the workplace. Lost innovation, productivity and profits. Not to mention the tolls on the communities. There are companies and organizations working to improve this. they are creating more open and collaborative work environments. They are realizing that treating people with dignity and providing meaningful work can be done while also running a financially solid organization. My hope with this podcast is to inspired leaders to make intentional choices to balance profit and social impact. Welcome to the inspired and intentional podcast, I’m your host, Todd Reed. I would like to thank all those who have reviewed the podcast. Today will be the first part of our series with Matthew Bodary, Zingerman’s Coffee Company Account Manager. This first part is a slight departure from the other episodes in that this is more of a personal story of a young man at the beginning of his career journey. He is an employee of a Zingerman’s company and not a managing partner like the previous episodes. After recording this episode, I thought I would cut most of this first part and give you a brief synopsis. However, upon further listening I was convinced that I wanted to share his telling and version of the story because it gives insight into him and his view of Zingerman’s more clearly than I could. I also felt a tad like this episode channels a little of Studs Terkel. Here are the questions for this week’s episode: 1. When new employees start working at working at your company, do they believe they’ve stumbled upon something special? 2. Great Food. Great Service. Great Finance. The 3 Bottom Lines of Zingermans. Is the “main focus” of your business this clear to your employees? 3. Do you have an opportunity for your people to grow within your current organization or by creating a new opportunity that supports your current business?

| Maggie Bayless Interview Pt 3 Business Systems | 17 Nov 2015 | 00:18:57 | |
Last episode maggie talked about Zingerman’s managing partner program and the role of Zingtrain. This week we’ll talk about business systems, staying motivated as an owner and the future of Zingtrain.
When the interview begins, she’s telling us one of the reasons why someone decides to take a ZingTrain class, which very quickly moves into the conversation about systems.
2. What energized you most when you started your business? Have you lost touch with that energy? What would it take for you to get back in touch with it? How could this help your employees be more excited about the work they’re doing?
3. Do you want your business to go beyond you? What would it take to make this happen in your business? If you have potential leaders in your business, could you sit with them to create a vision of succession that would get them and you excited about the future of your business?

| 005 Maggie Bayless and Zingerman's Managing Partner Program | 10 Nov 2015 | 00:20:49 | |
Cliff Hanger!!! Next week, in our final episode with maggie, we’ll learn how to keep your systems from creating too much corporate bureaucracy.
But for this episode here are three questions for you to consider: 1. The managing partner program - what are you succession plans? I really like how they looked outside of the concept of the deli to create opportunities for advancement. Did you get any new ideas on ways to open opportunities for potential leaders in your organization?
2. Maggie talks about potential managing partners having a vision for where they want the business to be in a certain time period. It got me to thinking - do I have a vision for the business I’m currently in? Do I have one for the podcast? What kind of vision do you have for your business?
3. What could you learn from taking a class from someone like ZingTrain? I took their class while working at a Fortune 500 electrical/comm data wholesaler and learned tons that we could apply…or adapt for our business. I would encourage you to look them up. (I’m not making anything from this.)

| Maggie Bayless on Consensus Decision Making | 03 Nov 2015 | 00:16:59 | |
In this episode we learn a little about Maggie and her views on why Zingerman’s was such an attractive option for her. We also hear her views on consensus decision making.
Three questions for you to consider: 1. Maggie talked about believing, as she grew up, that business was inherently a bad thing. What attitudes about work and the workplace does your team bring into the decision making process?
2. Maggie says, “the leadership determines the culture of the organization.” What elements of the culture, in your organization, reflect this principle? Do these elements hurt or help the organization meets it’s goals?
3. What are 3 areas of your business would benefit from more consensus? I would challenge you to find some that would benefit from getting consensus from the most entry level people you have.

| Does Your Hiring Process Help Your Culture? | 28 Nov 2017 | 00:22:24 | |
When Ron was interviewing with Zingerman’s he wanted to do more than just accounting. He wanted a place where he could make a difference. In addition, he wanted to respect his coworkers. He found that at the Zingerman’s community of businesses. This is part one with Ron Mauer, Managing Partner, Zingerman’s Service Network. The Service Network is a centralized business unit designed to facilitate business functions in a more streamlined version than each Zingerman’s company could possibly do on their own. How your organization interviews and recruits has a direct impact on your culture and also future engagement. Here are a few things that stood out to Ron while he interviewed with Zingerman’s: Paul and Ari were involved and knew their businesses deeply. They were around the business a lot. They interviewed in the business and not in some off-site locations or behind closed doors (i.e. very open). They were fun loving and humorous and didn’t take themselves too seriously. How they were open and honest during the negotiations. How is your hiring process reinforcing or hurting your culture and engagement?
