An insidious killer may be stalking your organization. As you look around at your team some of them may have already resigned. They might be showing up every day, but mentally and spiritually they have already quit trying. Join Greg and I as we discuss how resignation can creep in, and how your example of resilience can help stave it off.
Greg and I have co-authored the first book in our new series Business By The Book. Get your copy today.
- [0:00] Introduction
- [1:07] Resigning isn’t as obvious as someone saying, “I quit!”
- [1:55] The attitude of resignation starts way before someone begins their work career.
- [4:20] As a leader, is there value in telling people your story of grit? Does that encourage teammates or does it discourage them?
- [6:14] Is resilience innate or learned or both?
- [8:12] Resilience is often a grind, but it pays huge dividends for those who will stick with it. I share a conversation he had with an NBA player.
- [11:08] Greg shares examples of two professional athletes who demonstrated resilience, as well as his own resilience on the football field.
- [14:02] Leaders need to push themselves farther and not give themselves an “out.” This is how they show resilience as an encouragement for others.
- [15:56] Greg shares how he transitioned an organization from a quiet culture to a hungry culture. I then share how I have helped others become hungry and resilient.
- [18:08] Tough times are going to come to every individual and every organization. Leaders need to help prepare themselves and their teams.
- [19:53] Is there a time for resigning? I think it’s possible that resigning is sometimes a healthy resilience.
- [23:13] Greg shares a quote about resilience being a gift.
- [25:01] Leaders are a gift to their entire organization when they are resilient.
