Mornings with Marit - Ep 3 - Employees Are Athletes Final
Release Date: 04/09/2020
Description: Now, more than ever, we have to trust our employees to win the day. We literally are sending them ‘out there’ to succeed with their talents and the tools we provide. Professional athletes know what is expected of them, they have the freedom to apply their judgement and skills, and they over-communicate with their team members. We definitely can’t succeed on our own. Great managers don’t try and control everything, they become just as articulate about describing excellence as they are about describing failure. In today’s environment, creating a team culture and process that focuses both on performance and dignity of teammates will win the game. It is time to be more human than human. Join us for some practical advice that will keep your employees engaged and excited about their results every day.

Because that is probably the best feedback an association can hear." - Marit Peters Resources Mentioned: Learn more about IIAT at https://www.iiat.org/. -- Visit our website to join our email list, get the scoop on our LIVE coaching calls and never miss an episode: https://www.agencyfreedom.com Connect with Agency Freedom Podcast on Facebook at the Agency Freedom Podcast group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/agencyfreedom Email us at [email protected] with ideas, questions, complaints or your favorite grilling recipe.
