Episode 8
The Big Themes:
- We’re not loyal to each other: It’s time to breathe our hearts back into our organizations.
- Competitors are very aggressive: And they’re enticing them with new programs at 20% rates. The salaries are getting kicked up just because they’re paying more.
- Blindingly obvious: When we’re in the four walls, we forget the simple things. It’s really a clear and present demonstration of what your values and beliefs are.
- Empowerment is about decision rights: I don’t feel like I’m making impact. I’m not trusted to do my job.
The Big Quotes:
- “I’m not an Elon Musk fan boy, I think he has good qualities and bad qualities.”
- “This is how we’re enabling you to have more fun.”
