Welcome to
the Next Generations RockstarsHoward Behar podcast. If you are
trying to figure out how do you recruit and retain this next
generation of rock star talent while you are in the right
place.
[00:00:14.310]
Hey and
welcome to this week's episode of The Next Generation rock stars
podcast. So this episode is actually a wrap up of the entire season
too. And what an amazing season this was. This season has brought
about leaders from all different companies and there have been some
big names that we've brought in Howard Behar from Starbucks. There
was Horst Schulze who is one of the co-founders of the Ritz Carlton
known for their culture known for their customer service. Then
there was Fran Katsoudas who is the chief people officer at Cisco
Systems globally.
[00:00:50.820]
Matt
Schuyler who is the Chief H.R. officer over there. Hilton Hotels
again a massive global company. But then there are also people that
you may not have heard of before their episode came out. People
like. Ben Wright at Velocity global making a huge different
difference over there.
[00:00:00.000]
Alan Cherry
was the former head of H.R. at Tesla. Now he's at a company called
our planet earth and they're doing some amazing work. But then you
also have someone like Crystal Khalil at Pausch North America and
of course Cassie Buckroyd of Columbia Sportswear. All of those
people whether they're a big household name or you know people you
might not have heard of before their episode went live. These
people are making a difference in their early career talent. And I
would venture to guess it's not just their early career talent that
they're making a difference for it's really everybody who's lives
that they're coming into contact with.
[00:01:49.260]
And the
third touching and making a difference on because you know what you
source in each and every one of these interviews is that they are
creating an environment within their company or a culture within
their company or people want to come to work. And when people want
to come to work you see a big difference in the type of work that
they're doing in the fact that they're giving it their all. They
want to innovate. They want to make a difference. They want to be
more productive and in the end, companies tend to see increases in
productivity profitability.
[00:02:24.630]
You know
just a few important things that CEOs like to see on bottom lines.
But do you know why they're doing it. It's because these employees
feel supported. They feel that their company but more importantly
their leader. They feel like they see them as more than just this
cog in the big corporate wheel. They feel that their leader and
their company sees them holistically as a real person with actual
real things going on in their lives. And that's really important.
That has made all the difference. Every single one of these leaders
is making that difference every single day.
[00:03:05.310]
And I think
that is something that each and every one of us can learn from. You
know maybe we don't implement everything that my Schuyler at Hilton
is implementing across you know a massive global workforce. Maybe
it's just we pick out one or two things as lessons learned that we
can implement today or maybe you take the lead from someone like
Cassie Buckroyd at Columbia Sportswear where she is taking in
things and saying OK you know what. This was a great lesson
learned. We listened to our employees and this is how we're
implementing it.
[00:03:35.630]
You know
she's taking in that survey information and then she's taking
action and making a real positive change for her employees. So
these are just some small things that different companies have
done. But what can you do as a leader as an employee of a company
maybe as a CEO of a company? What can you do to make a difference
for your employees or for your team or maybe your entire company?
What are some small things that will have large ripple effects so
that the people sitting around you day in and day out know that you
see them?
[00:04:13.200]
Not just as
someone who gets work done but you see them as somebody who makes a
difference you see them as somebody who's human and it has all the
emotions and things with being a human that are all involved. We've
really seen this massive integration between work and life. It's no
longer two separate entities. It really is. An integration. There's
no balance to it. It really is integration with all the technology
that we've introduced besides cell phones besides email. We really
have. Integrated work life and personal life.
[00:04:53.490]
And I feel
like that's going to. That trend is going to continue it's only
going to become even more integrated as we go along. As more
technology is rolled out. So what are you going to do as a leader
to stay in front of it? What are you going to do in order to help
your employees master that integration? And as a leader what are
you going to do for yourself to master that integration.
[00:05:16.090]
So Season 2
was pretty amazing. We had some great guest and I think that you
will see season 3 brings about even more amazing guests. Season 3
will be all about young employees so millennials and if we can find
some Joneses who are now leading teams maybe for the first time
maybe they've been leading teams for a little while now. But we're
gonna learn about their lessons learned. What did they learn along
the way what was maybe some of the mistakes that they made? And how
did their leaders support them how did their company support them
as they made that tradition or a transition from individual
contributor to leader of a team.
[00:05:57.690]
So looking
forward to seeing you in season three of the next generation rock
stars that will be launching early 2020. All right see you
then.
