Welcome to the show that turns managers into leaders!
In this episode you will learn how the phrase “treat the employees like animals” might not actually be too far off! In “Orca Training 101″ we will discuss some similarities between orcas and humans and the lessons to be learned from watching an orca trainer at work.
We will also see how mistakes can actually help with growth; a truism that is played out every day in the life of National Geographic Magazine photographer Dewitt Jones. In his training video he discusses how he will sometimes shoot up to 14,000 images to find 30 for an issue of the magazine. You will learn about not being afraid to make mistakes and about the need for ‘reasonable risks.’
Today’s question from Margaret Thomas of Atlanta, Georgia asks whether employee incentive programs are worth the cost. Do they really work? Tune in and see…see how to make your employees more enthusiastic for your next incentive program.
