How Leaders Can Make Sure Monday Morning Doesn't Suck

Unfazed Under Fire Podcast

What if the key to a thriving organization was as simple as creating a workplace where Monday mornings don't suck? Our guest, Eric Harkins, founder and president of GKG Search and Outplacement, takes us on a deep exploration of this concept. Bringing his book "Great Leaders Make Sure a Monday Morning Doesn't Suck" to life, he champions the importance of leadership in company culture and the dire implications of ignoring underperforming employees.
Together, we pull back the curtain on the idea of "LEAD," a tool that focuses on the qualities and behaviors of leaders over their results. But it doesn't stop there; Eric spills the beans on what really makes a company great and how you, as a leader, can maintain that greatness. We put under the microscope the controversial issue of employees turning off their cameras during virtual meetings and expose the need for trust and open communication in remote teams.
Lastly, we delve into the heart of employee motivation and the three things that make them tick: a cool place, cool projects, and cool people. Listen closely as Eric shares his wisdom on fostering a positive work environment, the role of leaders in achieving this, and how to apply these principles to become a resilient leader. So, buckle up for an episode that promises to be as impactful as it is insightful – because great leadership is about making sure a Monday morning doesn't suck.
