Timeout With Leaders

Timeout with Bob Whipple - "You Can't See It Sometimes Because You Are To Close"

Bob Whipple, the Wizard of Trust joins Tyler and Kevyn to discuss the importance of trust today and the negative impacts that no trust will have on the business performance. He brings a few toys on the show but the "I am Right" button was spot on! When we are in the absence of fear we are able to grow personally but also professionally by developing trust amongst the team.

Bob reminds us to praise others and tell them "good job" is free, being consistent and treating people the right way are some steps to get back on track when trust has been lost.

This is a timely message to the leaders of today need to hear to get back to winning!

They discuss how they clear the path for their people to succeed, "we will lead you through the fire to make sure it is safe," but it is so much more than work sometimes you just gotta turn up some 80's hits or grab the microphone to have fun. Holding each other accountable by leading their company’s core purpose to "provoke progress.”
