Inspired and Intentional Business Podcast - Open Book Management, Business Vision, Employee Engagement, Balancing Profit and Social Impact

In the United States, according to Gallup, nearly 70% of employees are not engaged in their work. Disengagement negatively affects profitability and productivity. I believe there are 3 ways businesses can improve engagement. One, they inspire with a clear vision. Two, they practice open-book management. Three, they intentionally build collaborative, accountable, strength-focused teams. My intention is to inspire owners considering a new way to run their business and to encourage those currently fighting the good fight to balance profits and social impact. Let’s be inspired. The show will touch on business strategy, vision, internal communication, finance, accounting, organizational development, team-building, marketing, sales, and operations. Inspirations for the show include The Great Game of Business, by Jack Stack; Zingermans Community of Businesses, Ari Weinzweig, Paul Saginaw, Small Giants by Bo Burlingham, Open Book Managment by John Case, Zappos, and others.

Katie Frank is a ZingTrain consultant and trainer. In part 2 of my discussion with Katie we deep dive into what ZingTrain does, but to me it is really a discussion of some steps people can take to start making a more intentional and inspired workplace.

This is cliche but you have to be the change you want. Blahhhh. As much as I don’t want to admit it, it’s true. If you’re a cog in your machine, you can make a difference where you are and Katie, by explaining some of the work ZingTrain is doing, gives some great tips on ways to move the needle. Even if the change is within yourself and by extension, your family isn’t that a step worth taking? She admits that it’s tough for middle managers to make these changes in a larger context. However, I want to encourage you that change is possible, again, even if it’s within yourself and your small circle of influence. How can you make your circle more inspiring, caring, human, and impactful?
