Why Your Best Employee Becomes Your Worst Manager with Jeremy Schreifels

What's around that word that is not...

not good sure what's key for me in leadership and you know what I talk to folks about and you know when I'm working with you know clients is really around leadership is not about being a boss it's really about being the anti boss and leadership is being in service To your staff, because in doing that, in serving them well and knowing who they are and knowing what they want and knowing what makes them tick, what makes them what are their strengths, knowing, I mean, just some and those are just at a very basic level, they will outperform any just.

employee who has a boss any day and I just I see it play out so often in multiple verticals kind of over the course of my professional career because it's I've seen all the versions I've seen the boss version and People don't...

They hate their job.

They hate their boss.

They don't like coming to work.

Versus when I have experiences when people enjoy, let's call it upper management or executives, they don't mind coming to work.

Or if they have to work a little harder, they know that those people are behind them or got their back.

One of my most important things I tell my team is...

I don't care how big the bus is or that there's a bus coming.

Just tell me it's coming.

And I got your back.

And that one statement has become so empowering to folks that it just removes that word bus from their language.

Interesting.

Well, I genuinely hope that the bus that you do get notified because we all know what happens when we don't get notified if the bus is coming.

So that all being said, I mean, how much of this though, I mean, really boils down to culture.

You know, I've had bosses that have been amazing leaders and friends almost.

And I've really never even looked at them as a boss.

But I've also had bosses that were awful leaders.

But a lot of it had to do with the culture, the morale of what has surrounded, what they've made it basically.

So, I mean, how much of that really has to do with culture?

culture is where it begins culture is the framework right it's the two by fours and the two by sixes that build the house because without that culture like it doesn't matter what you put on the walls or what color you paint them or how much you sell the house for because you don't have a good foundation it really starts in that culture and sometimes the culture is really messy
